Abstract: An improved vegetation trimmer and edging unit for lawn and garden use provides a multi-position front handle, an integral roller edging guide having a flange concentrically located about the motor shaft and being of sufficient diameter to maintain a consistent distance between the cutting plane and the object being edged around, activation switches equally convenient to either operating position, and a power source mounted in a location equally balanced in either operating position. The combination vegetation trimmer and edger unit may be used in a first, horizontal cutting plane position for lawn trimming, and may be further used in a second, vertical cutting plane position for edging.
