OPERATING:
Two or three feet from the corner, make a starter cut
three to four inches long, leaving excess carpet running
up the wall.
Place the trimmer into the
cut. Keep the bottom of
the trimmer flat against
the carpet, and the bot-
tom edge of the wall run-
ner at the junction of the
floor and the wall. (See
fig. 12.)
Push the trimmer along
the wall with your outside
hand. Using your inside,
or wall-side hand, pull the
carpet being trimmed.
(See fig. 13.) The pull-
ing tension on the cut-off
piece makes trimming
easier.
For a clean, smooth, fin-
ished edge, the excess is
tucked into the gully be-
tween the wall and tack-
less with a stair tool.
