around the wire. Trimming can be done to cut through weed
stems one at a time. Place the trimmer line head near the bottom

DANGER
Do not to use a steel blade for edging or scalping.
SCALPING AND ENGING:
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.
