Scalping
The scalping technique removes unwanted vegetation down to
the ground. Hold the bottom of the trimmer head about 3 in.
(8 cm) above the ground and at an angle. Allow the tip of
the SharperBlade
to strike the ground around trees, posts,
™
monuments, etc. This technique increases SharperBlade
wear (Fig. 19).

Mowing
Your trimmer is ideal for mowing in places conventional lawn
mowers cannot reach. In the mowing position, keep the
SharperBlade
parallel to the ground. Avoid pressing the head
™
into the ground as this can scalp the ground and damage the
tool (Fig. 20).

Sweeping

Keep the SharperBlade
™
being swept and move the tool from side to side (Fig. 21).
