Cutting near fences / foundations
Slowly approach the cutting line head to fences, posts, rocks, walls, etc. without hitting them
hard.
If the line strikes a solid object it could break or become worn; if it gets tangled in a fence it could
break abruptly.
In any case, cutting around pavements, foundations, walls, etc. can cause greater wear than
normal in the line.
Cutting round trees
Walk round the tree from left to right, approaching the trunks slowly so as not to strike the tree
with the line and keeping the cutting line head tilted forward slightly.
Remember that the nylon line could lop or damage small shrubs and that the impact of the nylon
line against the trunk of bushes or trees with soft bark could seriously damage the plant.
