Trimming

above ground
SCALPING
- The scalping technique
removes unwanted vegetation down to
the ground. Hold the bottom of the trim-
mer head about 3 inches (8 cm) above
the ground and at an angle. Allow the
tip of the line to strike the ground
around trees, posts, monuments,
etc.
This technique
increases line wear.
Scalping
MOWING
- Your trimmer is ideal for
mowing in places conventional
lawn
mowers cannot reach. In the mowing
position, keep the line parallel to the
ground. Avoid pressing the head into
the ground as this can scalp the
ground and damage the tool.
Mowing
SWEEPING - The fanning action of the
rotating line can be used to blow away
loose debris from an area. Keep the line
parallel to and above the area surface
and swing the tool from side to side.

OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR
USE WITH BRUSH BLADE
• Blade Thrust is a reaction that only
occurs when using a bladed unit. This
reaction can cause serious injury
such as amputation.
Carefully study
this section. It is important that you
understand what causes blade thrust,
how you can reduce the chance of its
occurring, and how you can remain in
control of unit if blade thrust occurs.
• WHAT CAUSES BLADE THRUST -
Blade Thrust can occur when the
spinning Made contacts an object that
it does not cut. This contact causes
the Made to stop for an instant and
then suddenly move or 'thrust" away
from the object that was hit. The
"thrusting" reaction can be violent
enough to cause the operator to be
propelled in any direction and lose
control of the unit. The uncontrolled
unit can cause serious injury if the
blade contacts the operator or others.
• WHEN BLADE THRUST
OCCURS
- Blade Thrust
can occur without
warning
if the Made snags, stalls, or
binds. This is more likely to occur in
areas where it is difficult to see the
material being cut. By using the unit
properly, the occurrence
of blade
thrust will be reduced
and the opera-
tor will be less likely to lose control.
• Cut only grass, weeds, and woody
brush up to 1/2 inch (1 cm) in diame-
ter with the brush blade. Do not let the
Made contact material it cannot cut
such as stumps, rocks, fences, metal,
etc., or clusters of hard, woody brush
having a diameter greater than 1/2
inch (1 cm).
• A dull blade is likely to snag and
thrust. Ensure that the blade is
sharp. Replacement
blades are
available
at Sears.
• Cut only at full throttle.
The blade
will have maximum
cutting power
and is less likely to bind or stall.
