I know its kinda stupid,but safety glasses or a face shield should be worn while runnin a weed eater anyhow.I like runnin the line just a little longer than the guard allows,I get a smoother cut and the string last longer.Of course,runnin the line too long is hard on the engine and the shaft bearing,but my FS 250 has no problems runnin the string about 3 or 4 inches longer than the guard allows.
