After getting your safety gear on, then you pull out 6 inches of wire and start the weed eater, ensure you hold down the weed eater with one hand on the trigger and the other on the handle. Then lower the head of the weed eater to about 2.5cm above the ground, do not try to cut the grass all the way to the ground if not you will just send dirt flying, if you still need the grass to go lower then use a lawn mower to finish the job.
