I was going to purchase a lawn trimmer. Has anyone had any trouble
with the cord damaging fence boards or trees. I am concerned that
after time I will create gashes in my fence.


Have observed the trimmer cutting line:
chip and score paint on a painted fence
leave score marks on softwoods like cedar
chip pine wood if run with the grain
score/damage vinyl siding
chip/score the paint off composite concrete siding
damage young sapling trees
