|
||||
### Cutting Technique
|
||||
|
||||
- Swing in smooth arc, right to left
|
||||
- Keep cutting head parallel to ground
|
||||
- Let line do the work - don't force
|
||||
- Overlap passes slightly
|
||||
- Keep guard between you and debris
|
||||
|
||||
### Around Obstacles
|
||||
|
||||
> [!warning] Debris Hazard
|
||||
> Strimmers throw debris at high speed. Clear area of loose stones, glass, and other projectiles before starting. Keep others at safe distance.
|
||||
|
||||
- Use tap-and-go to feed line as needed
|
||||
- Work around trees/posts carefully
|
||||
- Avoid contact with hard surfaces (wears line quickly)

||||
|
||||
