24. Trimming techniques
When properly equipped with a protective shield and nylon cutting head, your machine will trim
unsightly weeds and tall grass with extended reach and areas along fences, walls, land, and
around trees.
NOTE: Pay special attention when trimming on brick or stone walls, etc., which will cause rapid
weed wear.
TRIM MORE ACCURATELY
Swing the trimmer from side to side with a nylon cutting
head. Do not tilt the nylon cutting head while working. For
correct cutting height, trim in a test area beforehand. For
right cutting height, trim in
advance in a test area. Keep nylon cutting head at the
same level for the uniform depth
of the cut.
TRIMMING AROUND TREES
Trim around logs with a slow approach, so the thread does not contact the log. Walk around
the tree from left to right. Approach grass or weeds with the tip of the thread and tilt the nylon
cutter head slightly.
Replace nylon thread
1. Switch off the engine.
2. Place the trimmer on the floor so that the cutting tool is facing upwards with the bobbin.
3. Open the cutting device and the spool by turning the locking knob on the shock absorber.
4. Cut the new thread to 6 or 5 meters and wind it tightly clockwise around the bobbin.
5. Remove the superfluous thread.
