Cut from left to right.
Slowly move the trimmer into and out of the cutting area at
the desired height. Move either in a forward-backward or

best results.

Trim only when grass and weeds are dry.
Outer Spool
The life of your cutting line is dependent upon:
-
Proper adherence of explained trimming techniques
What vegetation is cut
Spring
Bolt
-
-
Inner Reel
Where vegetation is cut
For example, the line will wear faster when trimming against a
foundation wall as opposed to trimming around a tree. It is
normal for some line breakage to occur from regular use.
