If the line strikes a solid object it could break or be-
come worn; if it gets tangled in a fence it could

• Cutting round trees (Fig. 14)
Walk round the tree from left to right, approaching
the trunks slowly so as not to strike the tree with the

small shrubs and that the impact of the nylon line
against the trunk of bushes or trees with soft bark
could seriously damage the plant.
