wire mesh or chain linked fence be careful to feed only up to wire. If you go too far
the line will snap off around the wire. Trimming can be done to cut through weed
stems one at a time. Place the trimmer line head near the bottom of the weed-never
high up which could cause the weed to chatter and catch the line. Rather than cut
the weed right through, just use the very end of the line to wear through the stem
slowly.
Scalping and edging
Both of these are done with the line head tilted at a steep angle Scalping is removing
top growth leaving the earth bear.
Edging is trimming the grass back where it has spread over a sidewalk or drive way.
During both edging and scalping, hold the unit a steep angle and in a position where
the debris, and any dislodging dirt and stones, will not come back towards you even
if it ricochets off the hard surface. Although the picture shows how to edge and scalp
every operator must find for himself the angles which suits his body size and cutting
situation.
