As others have said, it is not designed to be used as an edger and the guard is very small. However, this is how I use the trimmer. You just have to hold it at the correct angle. The trimmer is not too heavy, but it is still difficult to hold the trimmer at the correct angle even for a short time. Also, if the angle is not perfect, the line can grab grass to the inside of the edge line and pull the trimmer into the grass and gouge out an ugly section.
