Applications

Nylon line heads may be used for trimming, scything, edging, and scalping

of grass and light weeds.

Trimming

Feed the spinning line into the material to be cut. Tilt the line head to one

side to direct cutting debris away from you:

• Model SRM/PAS/SB/TX/C (Straight shaft, counter-clockwise line head

rotation) - Tilt the cutting head down on the right side (muffler side) while

cutting to direct cutting debris away from operator. Feed the line gradually

into the material you wish to cut, avoiding contact with fences or other

barriers.

Scything

Scything - Swing the cutting head in a level arc, gradually feeding the line

into the material being cut. Move forward with each arc to cut a swath. Width

of cutting swath depends on arc. Use a larger arc for a wider swath, or a

smaller arc for a narrow swath. Keep line head tilted to direct cutting debris

forward or away from you.
