tips for best trimming results (Fig. 12)
◾ ◾
The correct angle for the cutting
attachment is parallel to the ground.
◾ ◾
This string trimmer allows you to
rest the bump knob on the ground
for operating more comfortably.
◾ ◾
do not force the trimmer. Allow the
very tip of the line to do the cutting
(especially along walls). cutting with
more than the tip will reduce cutting
efficiency and may overload the
motor.
◾ ◾
The cutting height is determined by the distance of the cutting line from the lawn
surface.
◾ ◾
grass over 8 inches (200 mm) should be cut by working from top to the bottom in
small increments to avoid premature line wear or motor drag.
◾ ◾
slowly move the trimmer into and out of the area being cut, maintaining the
trimmer at the desired cutting height. This can be either a forward backward or
side-to-side motion. cutting shorter lengths produces best results.
◾ ◾
Trim only when grass and weeds are dry.
◾ ◾
Wire and picket fences can cause extra string wear or breakage. stone and brick
walls, curbs, and wood may wear strings rapidly.
◾ ◾
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding, and fence posts can
easily be damaged by the strings.
