String trimming can be intimidating if you are a first timer, but relax and read some quick tips below:

1. Use good support when starting the unit, never start the unit off the ground.
2. Keep bystanders, pets and children at least 50 feet away from your working area and stop the trimmer if you are approached.
3. Always cut away from yourself, never towards yourself as objects could be flung in your direction.

Remember the string trimmer is a tool to help you achieve the clean cut look you desire for your landscaping. Be safe and happy gardening!
