WARNING:
stones, pieces of metal and other objects can be thrown
out at high speed by the line. The trimmer and guard
are designed to reduce the danger.

100' (30 m) away. Optimum cutting results are achieved on
edges deeper than 2" (50 mm).
•
Do not use this trimmer to create trenches.
•
Using the edge guide

or abrasive surface so the cutting line is over the grass or
dirt area to be edged.
•
To make a closer cut, slightly tilt the trimmer.
Helpful Cutting Tips (Fig. G)
•
Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force
string head into uncut grass. Use edge guide along
such things as fences, houses and flower beds for
best practices.
•
Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even
breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may
wear string rapidly.
•
Do not allow spool cap
other surfaces.
•
In long growth, cut from the top down and do not
exceed 13" (330 mm) high.
•
Keep trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the
best cutting area.
•
The trimmer cuts when passing the unit from the left to
right. This will avoid throwing debris at the operator.
