Tips for Best Trimming Results

(Fig . 14)
1. The correct angle for the cutting attachment
is parallel to the ground.
2. Do not force the trimmer. Allow the very
tip of the line to do the cutting (especially
along walls). Cutting with more than the
tip will reduce cutting efficiency and may
overload the motor.
3. The cutting height is determined by the
distance of the cutting line from the lawn
surface.
4. Grass should be cut by working
progressively from top to the bottom in
small increments to avoid premature line
wear or motor drag.
5. Slowly move the trimmer into and out of the area being cut, maintaining the cutting head
position at the desired cutting height. This movement can be either a forward-backward
motion or a side-to-side motion. Cutting shorter lengths produces best results.
6. Trim only when grass and weeds are dry.
