SCALPING
To remove all unwanted vegetation around trees, posts,
monuments, etc., maintain a 30 degree angle with the
nylon cutting head and allow the tip of the cutting
line to strike the ground. Figure 19.
NOTE: Increased line wear is to be expected when using
the edging or scalping techniques.
Figure 19
SWEEPING
For quick and easy clean up, extend the line to
approximately 7" and "sweep" the cutting debris from a
walk or driveway. Move the unit from side to side,
keeping the nylon cutting head parallel to the surface
being swept, as shown in figure 20.

ADJUSTMENT
Remember that line wear is as normal as the
dulling of a metal blade. The life of the line will
depend on your cutting technique and the surface
against which you are trimming. Do not operate at
a higher speed than is necessary to perform the
required cutting.
When the line wears down, loosen knob on bottom
of head by turning counter clockwise four turns.
Then by gripping lower ring, pull down and turn
counter clockwise at the same time to the next
notch, or amount desired. Retighten knob. Figure21.

hole and guiding it through the center of slJool
and out the other side. Following arrow on bot-
tom of interspool, with nylon in direction of ar-
row. Do not over fill interspool. Capacity of nylon
cutting cord is 30 feet and diameter of cutting
