Abstract
A guard for a grass and weed trimmer of the line-cutting type, the guard having a body attached to a handle. A rotatable head mounted to said handle flailing the line in a plane of rotation around an axis of rotation. The body has a skirt extending partway around the axis, a cut-off blade in the path of the flailing line to cut-off excess line, and a deflector downstream from the blade to deflect the cut-off segments away from the plane of rotation, toward the ground.
