The

line

will

easily

remove

grass

and

weeds

from

around

walls,

fences,

trees

and

fl

ower

beds,

but

it

also

can

cut

the

tender

bark

of

trees

or

shrubs

and

scar

fences.

To

help

avoid

damage

especially

to

delicate

vegetation

or

trees

with

tender

bark,

shorten

line

to

4-5

inches

and

use

at

less

than

full

throttle.

•

For

mowing

or

sweeping,

use

full

throttle

for

a

good

clean

job.

A

WARNING

Use

minimum

speed

and

do

not

crowd

the

line

when

cutting

around

hard

objects

(rock,

gravel,

fence

posts,

etc),

which

can

damage

the

trimmer

head,

become

entangled

in

the

line,

or

be

thrown

causing

a

serious

hazard.

A

WARNING

Always

wear

eye

protection.

Never

lean

over

the

trimmer

head.

Rocks

or
