Cutting Tips
See Figure 18.
1. Avoid hot surfaces by always keeping the tool away
from your body. (Proper operating position is shown in
Figures 16a and 17.)
2. Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is
the best cutting area.
3. The straight shaft trimmer cuts when passing the unit
from left to right. This will avoid throwing debris at the
operator. Avoid cutting in the dangerous area shown in
figure 18.
4. Use the tip of string to do the cutting; do not force string
head into uncut grass.
5. Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even
breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may
wear string rapidly.
6. Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, sid-
ing, and fence posts can easily be damaged by the string.
