TRIMMING:
This is feeding the trimmer carefully into
the material you wish to cut. Tilt the head
slowly to direct debris away from you. If
cutting up to a barrier such as fence, wall or
tree, approach from an angle where any
debris ricocheting off the barrier will fly
away from you. Move the line head slowly
until the grass is cut right up the barrier, If
trimming up to a wire mesh or chain linked
fence be careful to feed only up to wire. If
you go to far the line will snap off around
the wire. Trimming can be done to cut
through weed stems one at a time. Place
the trimmer line head near the bottom of
the weed‐never high up which could cause
the weed to chatter and catch the line.
Rather than cut the weed right through, just
use the very end of the line to wear through
the stem slowly.
SCALPING
WARNING
Do not to use a steel blade for edging or
scalping.
SCALPING AND ENGING:
Both of these are done with the line head
tilted at a steep angle Scalping is removing
top growth leaving the earth bear.
Edging is trimming the grass back where it
has spread over a sidewalk or drive way.
During both edging and scalping, hold the
unit a steep angle and in a position where
the debris, and any dislodging dirt and
stones, will not come back towards you
even if it ricochets off the hard surface.
Although the picture shows how to edge
and scalp every operator must find for
himself the angles which suits his body size
and cutting situation.
Do not trim in any area where there are
standards of fencing wire. Wear protective
safety protecting; do not cut where you
cannot see what the cutting device is
cutting.
