Could somebody please explain the best way to do this as I am not very good
at it. Perhaps I just need more practice. I have a HomeLite curved shaft

straight shaft works better. Beyond that, it's largely a matter of
practice. In my experience, you will, unfortunately, have better luck
if you turn the head so the debris flies toward you instead of away.
Wear long pants and safety glasses (or, better yet, a full-face
shield).

good luck,
