■Use the tip of string to do the cutting; do not force string head into uncut grass.
■Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may wear string rapidly.
■Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding, and fence posts can easily be damaged by the string.
