There's only one way to properly use your String Trimmer, and it all depends on which way your trimmer rotates.

the Kingdom of GOD is coming…“Silver is for the kettle, and gold for the furnace, but The LORD is the tester of hearts- Bible” your heart is like discovered silver, dirty and not pure, when silver is purified it is melted over and over, to the point that when it’s melted and glows red hot, it is pure enough to see your own reflection in the puddle, so also does the LORD purify your heart, till HE can see HIS own reflection in it, seek the LORD and be reborn, ask The LORD to renew and restore you, repent and ask The LORD for HIS Salvation for those who seek will find and those who knock the door will be open unto them, no man is good, all are in need of salvation, Jesus died so that our sins will be wiped away and so that we could be made new, seek The Kingdom of GOD for if you would be wise you would be wise for yourself, pick up your cross and deny your flesh and follow the path of GOD, for The Kingdom of GOD is at hand, in JESUS MIGHTY NAME Amen and Amen…….

With many of the same customers I had then and some of them very wealthy and all love our work I have one huge yard I have charged the same 40 dollars for for 25 yrs. It was the 3rd yard I ever started mowing. The lady and her husband who recently passed have been so wonderful.

I work as a groundskeeper and a weedeater is one of my most commonly used tools. In your examples of wrong/right you tilted the weedeater differently, if you were to keep the tilt the same as the right way of your examples but went the other way it would still shoot towards you vs your mulch. Also it’s not necessarily wrong or right because when I’m working in large areas where I don’t have to worry about mulch or windows I’ll tilt the opposite way so the pebbles and other debris shoot away from me. I’ve had many rocks hit my shins and it’s not a fun feeling. Great video though!

So far I don't seem to have the brown tips issue as bad this year. I do have issues with brown patch though. My boss suggested spreading 0-20-20 in the yard rather than what I had been using which was either 13-13-13 or very light applications of spilled urea from a local ag strip. Any fertilizer suggestions other than what I was told? Also, buttonweed is taking my yard over and it seems like nothing I've tried will kill it. Dicamba? It comes back.

Being a Makita user and advocate for years I recently started buying and using specific Hart power tools from Walmart and I’m impressed. For the price it’s a no brainer. Like the inflator, air compressor, backpack sprayer, and 2 gallon hand held shop vac, these all perform phenomenally and each item was like 60-$80 some came with 2 amp or 4 amp batteries some came bare tool. But I supplemented the tools with a two 4 amp plus extra 2 amp plus quick charger for $99. I bought all of these on sale from Spring to Summer 2023. Watch for the deals and these tool purchases become a no brainer. I still use my Makita drills, drivers, torque wrench, power ratchet, angle grinder, LED lanterns, recip saw, multi tool, string trimmer, leaf blower these are all the best but they come with a premium. For lawn mower I use the 40v Ryobi platform and the 40v hedge trimmer.

Straight shafts spin counter clockwise and curved shafts spin clockwise. You can cut in any direction or angle you want to depending on where you want to direct the clippings, the direction you are facing or walking in respect to where you're trimming and so on. However in this case with the straight shaft he's using, sweeping from right to left is most effective.

An additional advantage, of your correct method, when you are cutting up to a vertical surface, wall/fence/etc, the cut material is not thrown onto the surface of where you have just cut. Right to left (for a counterclockwise head) leaves a much tidier edge that doesn't need as much, if any, later raking or blowing. But, left to right along that fence, you are throwing most of the cut material on top of your already cut areas.

Thank you that helps me. Although in the middle of the yard I don't think it matters, this really makes a difference around the edging and near the fences. So thank you again

More often than not, you're pulling it onto your walkway. The direction of spinning determines how fast it cuts. This is the same with any spinning blade or bit. It doesn't matter which way it throws the waste. The rotation should always spin against the direction your moving it to make the cutting cleaner and faster.

When you are professional landscaper you always tilt the weed eater head to wear it sprays everything away from you because all the stuff that it slings backwards ends up beating your shins to death by the end of the day. Possible injuries as well. The only time you sling the stuff toward yourself is when you're trying to be extremely careful and make sure something important doesn't get hit with anything. ... Trust me when I say it only takes one rock directly to the shin at full speed to understand the situation...
