Applications
Nylon line heads may be used for trimming, scything, edging, and scalping
of grass and light weeds.
Trimming
Feed the spinning line into the material to be cut. Tilt the line head to one
side to direct cutting debris away from you:
Model SRM/PAS/SB/TX/C (Straight shaft, counter-clockwise line head
rotation) - Tilt the cutting head down on the right side (muffler side) while
cutting to direct cutting debris away from operator. Feed the line gradually
into the material you wish to cut, avoiding contact with fences or other
barriers.
Scything
Scything - Swing the cutting head in a level arc, gradually feeding the line
into the material being cut. Move forward with each arc to cut a swath. Width
of cutting swath depends on arc. Use a larger arc for a wider swath, or a
smaller arc for a narrow swath. Keep line head tilted to direct cutting debris
forward or away from you.
