Great video. I learnt two valuable tips from this - swinging from left to right with a clockwise spinning trimmer, and not moving too close to the brush (grass). Works wonders and makes my life a whole lot easier. Looks like I’ve been doing it wrong all this while. Many thanks.

Your PRO tips is so helpful. I have used trimmer for years and two very important tips from you. One is about where to position myself based on the rotation of the head. Habitually I like to stand on the right side of my trimmer and often got nik from flying debris. Now I realize my position must be relatively to the direction of the rotation. I also learned to adjust the shaft length so that my arm is extended straight. I made adjustment today based on these two tips and what a difference it made. THANK YOU.

Thx for the crash course. 1st time homeowner, 1st time string trimmer, 1st time weed abater! We’ll see what happens 😬🤞🏼🌱

I've used gas trimmers in the past, and threaded the head by taking the cover off and wrapping. I was struggling like heck to thread the Ego, you explained it perfectly in less than 10 seconds. Thank the Lord I found this video (almost by accident). And thank you sir! And Ego!

Biggest tip here is in which direction does the head rotate. This will save windows and car windshields etc from being broken. I know some take the guard off but to me that's a no no.
Reduce the guard down for edging purposes only, so you have a better sight line whilst doing so. When mowing tilt the strimmer slightly off level in the direction of the cut, so cutting right tilt right and back left on return sweep.
ALWAYS wear eye protection and long trousers or pants, as you call them and proper footware...Not sandles. I have used Strimmers and brushcutters for over 30yrs on commercial and private properties.
I have seen quite a few accidents in that time so treat these machines with respect. Stay safe everybody.

Your first tip should tell everyone is to wear a comfortable set of safety glasses

Tip #3 is subjective. I found it best to edge against the spin of the string it makes the cleanest cut and also the string doesn't propel the head of the weadeater when you make contact with the ground which can gouge the grass. If you're going to trim with the spin of the string it's best to do it walking backwards to avoid debris flying at you.

Thank you! I recently purchased the EGO mower, line trimmer and blower. This week was my first attempt with the line trimmer and I scalped parts of my lawn...I should have watched your video first!

Thank you. I just brought a new string trimmer and these tips will come in super handy. 👏🏾👏🏾💪🏾♦️

[MidnightOfRain]

I still hate doing this but ty. You made it a bit more bearable

[MoPoppins]

My lower leg (right leg) got pelted w/ all kinds of debris the other day, so I guess that means my trimmer's got a clockwise rotation. I've got the little scabs to show for THAT little lesson! I'll be mindful about standing to the left, the next time I use it. I was too lazy to read the manual, hence my watching of these YouTube vids...lol. :D

[diane]

thanks for the view of using just the tip to trim and the direction of rotation info, and the ergonomics. Little things that make all the difference.

[asincere]

Thanks you, I've seen many Trimmer videos but nobody has explained with great Details like you have done!!!

[benhonda]

Pro tip...gear up, remove the guard, run more string out, stand whenever is most comfortable. get done in half the time.

[jhr]

Ugghhh!! your bright and cheerful demeaner makes me what to trim my lawn. thanks alot!

[aselin]

So, I have what is arguably the most idiot-proof outdoor tool I have ever owned...a string trimmer with a rapid refill line. I was going through INSANE amounts of line and I hated trimming before I watched this. It used to take forever, and I was always getting hit hard by knarly long weeds and rocks and stuff. I never thought to look at the direction it was going in...lol. I just did my entire front yard, including all the trimming near the street -- which I never do -- and it took about 30 minutes instead of the whole morning. Now I can WALK and let the trimmer work. Woot!

[Jeo-What]

Thanks for the tips. never thought about the spinning directions before!

[snipe]

Andrew, this video deserves more views. Lots of new home owners can benefit from these tips. Top notch quality as usual! Didn't know the multi tool spins counter clockwise! Super cool.

[rheannonfultz]

Thanks for this video! I am a new string trimmer operator and the conditions I work in are very severe and densely weeded. It is difficult, but I think these tips will help a lot!

[Jubileejones]

Thanks for actually teaching how to use a trimmer! So many videos just show them using it instead of actually teaches us how to use it!
