I interpret it as meaning "this refers to the kind of 'trim' that you
might do with a hair, i.e. cut it, as opposed to, say 'trim a uniform
with fur' or 'trim the control surfaces of a flyer' " -- along the
lines of the "fire (torpedo, rocket, missile)" versus "fire
(employee)": just an example object to clarify the action of the verb.
