Starting cross knot outside frame

Hello,

My friend received his newly stringed badminton racket and I noticed that the starting knot for the crosses is outside the frame. I did some research but couldn’t find a pattern or stringing technique where the knot is outside the frame. The used string is WEST GUT MT13
Is it still safe to use or is it a bad string job?
