3.FENCE/FOUNDATION TRIMMING. Approach trim- ming around chain link fences, picket fences, rock walls and foundations slowly to cut close without whip- ping string against the barrier. If the string comes in contact with rock, brick walls, or foundations, it will break or fray. If string snags fencing, it will snap off.
4.TRIMMING AROUND TREES. Trim around tree trunks with a slow approach so string does not contact bark. Walk around the tree trimming from left to right. Approach grass or weeds with the tip of the string and tilt stringhead slightly forward.
