6 - TRIMMING INSTRUCTIONS
CLOSER TRIMMING
Position trimmer straight ahead with a slight tilt so bottom
of stringhead is above ground level and string contact
occurs at proper cutting point. Always cut away from oper-
ator. Do not pull trimmer in toward operator.
FENCE / FOUNDATION TRIMMING
Approach trimming around chain link fences, picket fences,
rock walls and foundations slowly to cut close without whip-
ping string against the barrier. If the string comes in contact
with rock, brick walls, or foundations, it will break or fray. If
string snags fencing, it will snap off.
TRIMMING AROUND TREES
Trim around tree trunks with a slow approach so string
does not contact bark. Walk around the tree trimming from
left to right. Approach grass or weeds with the tip of the
string and tilt stringhead slightly forward.
WARNING
Use extreme caution when SCALPING. Keep a distance of
100 feet (30 meters) between operator, other people and
animals during these operations.
SCALPING
Scalping refers to removal of all vegetation down to the
ground. To do this, tilt the stringhead to about a 30 degree
angle to the left. By adjusting the handle you will have bet-
ter control during this operation. Do not attempt this proce-
dure if there is any chance flying debris could injure opera-
tor, other people or cause damage to property (Figure 6-
3B).

WARNING
DO NOT SWEEP WITH TRIMMER
Sweeping refers to tilting stringhead to sweep away debris
from walkways, etc. Your trimmer is a powerful tool and
small stones or other such debris may be hurled 50 feet (15
meters) or more, causing injury or damage to nearby prop-
erty such as automobiles, homes and windows.
