Heavy Growth
Take your time in heavy growth.
Be sure to keep uncut material to
your left, maintaining a clear
discharge area to your right
(Figure 17). If the machine can’t
do it all in one pass, overlap half
of the cutting swath. If the grass
is very thick and heavy, try
raising the trimmer head off the
ground a few inches by pushing
down on the handlebar. Cut the
material at this height, and then
make a second pass with the
Mow-Ball
 Support on the
ground.
Ease the DR  TRIMMER/MOWER 
into denser growth. If the
material is too tough or woody
to cut, the cutting cords will
wrap around it, wear down or
even break off. Sometimes the
growth is so heavy, it can’t be
mowed in rows. Use a back and
forth “vacuum cleaner” motion in
these cases.
