    park your ute/trailer at the nature strip up from the one you will be servicing(in case of flying debris hitting window and /or panels of ute).start whipper snipping in a anti-clock wise direction.this will have the clippings going into the ns,not on the path way.

    when mowing, mow around the garden edge,garden beds,trees etc with one or two circles,then start mowing across lawn.this makes the turns mowing across easier in relation to shrubs etc being in ones way when you make the turn.

    when turning to mow the next line, make sure the back wheels pivot around themselves and do not slide,if one slides the wheels on the turn it shortens the life of the wheel.

    if one uses a atom/or stick edger and it is dry,wet the edges first this will help the blade penetrate to a greater depth easier to cut the side shoot at depth.this will delay the side shoot popping out on the edge so that on the next few cuts on can use the whipper to clip the edge quickly.

    when fulling up equipment with fuel keep the open fuel tank away from whipper snipper/mowing clippngs,if they get inside they could block the carburator.

    when starting equipment try start on the pavement not on the grass as this will pull up dust/grass clipings into the airfilters and bolock them up quicker.
