These products are simple to use and most of them come with step-by-step easy-to-follow instructions on how to build them and operate them. Once everything is in place, all you’ll have to do is turn the engine on and start cutting grass and weeds on your lawn.
However, there are various cutting techniques that you will learn to master in time, depending on your needs. For instance, when it comes to treating the edges of the lawn, you can choose between tapering or edging.
In tapering, you have to hold the tool so that the string strikes the grass at a slight angle. Edging may sound more complicated but will help you achieve a clean and symmetric cut all over your backyard, even between the grass and the driveway. For that, you’ll have to start with your trimmer in a vertical position. Walk the tool into the cut path so it can eject grass where you just cut.
