Operation
Cutting Tips
See Figures 18 and 19.
1. Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this
is the best cutting area.
2. The curved shaft trimmer cuts when passing the unit
from right to left. the straight shaft trimmer cuts when
passing the unit from left to right. This will avoid
throwing debris at the operator. Avoid cutting in the
dangerous area shown in gures 18 and 19.
3. Use the tip of string to do the cutting; do not force
string head into uncut grass.
4. Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even
breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs and wood may
wear string rapidly.
5. Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, sid-
ing and fence posts can easily be damaged by the string.
