TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
• For most operations, cut from side to side.
• To direct clippings away from the operator, tilt the cutting head
slightly down to the left; cut from right to left whenever possible.
• Cut tall grass (over 8 inches (20cm)) from the top down by
lowering the cutting head onto the grass.
• Cut with the tip of the trimming line.
• Cut in small increments. Move slowly. Do not force the
unit.
• D
o not trim wet grass or weeds.
NOTE: Some line breakage will occur from:
• Entanglement with foreign matter
• Normal line fatigue
• Attempting to cut thick vegetation
• Forcing the line into objects such as walls or fence posts
