SCALPING - The scalping technique
removes unwanted vegetation. Hold the
bottom of the trimmer head about 3 in.
(8 cm) above the ground and at an an-
gle. Allow the tip of the line to strike the
ground around trees, posts, monuments,
etc. This technique increases line wear.

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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USE WITH WEED BLADE
• Blade Thrust is a reaction that only
occurs when using a blade. This re-
action can cause serious injury such
as amputation.
Carefully study this
section. It is important that you un-
derstand what causes blade thrust,
how you can reduce the chance of
its occurring, and how you can re-
main in control of the unit if blade
thrust occurs.
• WHAT CAUSES BLADE THRUST
Blade Thrust can occur when the spin-
ning blade contacts an object that it
does not cut. This contact causes the
blade 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 wam-
ing if the blade 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 and weeds up to 1/2
inch in diameter with the weed blade.
Do not let the blade 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.
• Keep the blade sharp. A dull blade i_
more likely to snag and thrust.
• Cut only at full throttle. The blade will
have maximum cutting power and is
less likely to bind or stall.
