Edging Technique

What happens here

To achieve a clean edge along sidewalks or other hard surfaces, rotate the weed whacker head 90 degrees so the string spins vertically. Line up the string with the edge of the surface. Instead of holding the trigger down continuously, 'feather' it by pressing and releasing it gently. Allow only the tip of the string to do the work. If you notice dirt or debris being thrown, you are pressing too hard or using too much string, which can indicate that the string is digging into the ground rather than just trimming the grass.

Goal: Create clean, crisp edges along hard surfaces.
