10.3.4
Trimming around trees
Trim around tree trunks slowly 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
10.3.5
Scalping
WARNING: Use extreme caution when SCALPING. Keep a distance of 30
meters (100 feet) between operator, other people and animals during these
operations.
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 right. By adjusting the handle you will have better control
during this operation. Do not attempt this procedure if there is any chance that flying debris
could injure the operator, other people, or cause damage to property
10.3.6
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 metres) or
more, causing injury or damage to nearby property such as automobiles, homes and windows.
10.4
Cutting with blades
AVOID KICKOUT
Kickout refers to the reaction of a moving blade if it contacts a strong tree, brush or a solid
object. The force that results violently pushes the blade away in an arc. Kickout may cause
loss of control resulting in injury to the operator or bystanders.
Do not use a blade near a chain link fence, metal stakes, landscape borders or building
foundations.
Do not cut with dull, cracked or damaged metal blade. Before cutting
growth, inspect for obstructions such as boulders, metal stakes or strands
of wire from broken fences. If an obstruction can not be removed, mark its
location so that you can avoid it with the blade. Rocks and metal will dull or
damage a blade. Wire can catch on the blade head and flap around or be
thrown into the air.
Do not use a brush cutter for cutting trees.
