Trimming Tips for a Cleaner Edge

  • Trim before you mow, then sweep or blow away the clippings
  • Hold the trimmer at a slight angle
  • Let the tip of the line do the cutting
  • Keep the line fresh and the head clean

Wear the Right Gear

Trimmers throw small stones and debris. Wear safety glasses, sturdy shoes, and long pants. Ear protection helps with longer jobs.

Keep Your Trimmer Running Longer

  • Use fresh fuel
  • Clean the air filter
  • Replace worn line and parts
  • Store it clean and dry

A yearly tune-up helps your trimmer start on the first pull.
