Abstract/Contents: | Discusses edging, stating that "crisp, clean edges are the finishing touches of a good landscaping job." Profiles edgers, first "introduced in the mid-1980s as multi-purpose handheld [tools]...the machine comes in two main types, stick and walk-behind and both have their advantages and disadvantages." Suggests that "for the straightest lines, contractors should move smoothly and steadily, and avoid using a string trimmer to get the job done." Mentions factors to consider when purchasing an edger, including the weight of the machine, horsepower, and blade adjustment. Also discusses edger maintenance, recommending that operators "let the edger warm up for a few minutes before starting a job...[grease] the gear case ever 50 hours, and...consult the owner's manual to determine how greasing should be done." |
