Move it forward two feet, back one foot--nice cut. Moving it forward and back gives you a clear sight on what it's doing and the results are fine. You can (supposedly) also use it for carving holes through your yard by moving the guide-piece out of the way. Be careful about dinging your concrete with this, it is very easy to want to shift positions with the edger and "set it down" on the concrete, which will put little chip-marks into it. The blade is not sharp and showed considerable abrasion and wear after just a few of minutes of use. This product is like everything else Black and Decker has made in the last decade or so...junk.
This tool doubles as a trencher, meaning it cuts a nice path a few inches deep into which you can run hose or water lines to the garden with ease. I intend to use this B&D edger next spring when I put in an irrigation system. If I hadn't bought this product, I'd still have this project to look forward to next weekend. The Edge Hog works great.
Price included shipping to the front door by UPS. Would recommend to anyone with sidewalk and driveway areas that need an edger to help keep your lawn looking good around the edges. It will fill with mud but is easy to clean out. Real easy to assemble but the grass was over the driveway about three inches in places. If you do, you lose current and your motor will burn up due to loss of power from outlet. I used this electric device to not only landscape a home owner's lawn, but I also used it to landscape a business.
If you are installing an invisible fence, just buy one of these things. I laid around 1000 feet of cable in about 4 hours. I have Zoysia grass which has not been edged for over 15 years. The Boss Edger cut right through it (in some places had to make a couple of passes but nonetheless it cut right through it) and made a tough task easier than I expected.
It works as advertised. My only regret was not buying one earlier. Trimming them is a challenge that the B&D edger handles quite well. Some escape the first slice, but backing over them usually wins the battle.
I have a very long driveway and sidewalk so by the time I'm finished, my hold on fingers are tired out. I wore out an edge hog type 3. Having to drag a cord around is kind of a bummer. For the money, this edger is a definite buy! Easy to use, multi-purpose...a bonus with the trencher and it works right. Price was great and delivery was right on time.
