CUTTING METHODS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS OPERATING POSITION ALWAYS WEAR: WARNING: Use minimum speed and do not crowd the line when cutting around hard objects (rock, gravel, fence posts, etc. ), which can damage the trimmer head, become entangled in the line, or be thrown causing a serious hazard. You will achieve the best performance and minimum line wear by not crowding the line into the cutting area. (8 cm) Above Ground SCALPING - The scalping technique removes unwanted vegetation. Hold the bottom of the trimmer head about 80 mm above the ground and at an angle. Allow the tip of the line to strike the ground around trees, posts, monuments, etc. Scalping 6 MOWING - Your trimmer is ideal for mowing in places conventional lawn mowers cannot reach. Avoid pressing the head into the ground as this can scalp the ground and damage the tool.
