OPERATION
WARNING:
Follow the warnings and precau-
tions in the chapter "SAFETY WARNINGS" and
the instruction manual of the power unit.

Adjusting the hanger position and
shoulder harness
WARNING:
adjust the hanger position and shoulder harness
length within the range as illustrated. Using the
tool with improper weight balance may bring the
cutting tool upward and result in personal injury.
When replacing an accessory with another, the weight
balance of the equipment may change. In such case,
adjust the hanger position and shoulder harness length
as follows.
► Fig.17: 1. Hanger
To change the hanger position, loosen the fixing screw
on the hanger and then move the hanger (A).
Adjust the hanger position and shoulder harness length
so that:
• the hanger positions 750 mm or higher from the
ground,
• the cutting tool positions 100 mm to 300 mm high
from the ground and,
• the unguarded part of cutting tool is horizontally
750 mm or further away from the hanger.
After adjusting the hanger position, tighten the screw
with a wrench or screwdriver (depending on the power
unit) securely.

During operation, use the tip of the nylon cutting cord
for cut. As the nylon cutting cord is worn and shortened
with the cutting operation, the operator needs to feed it
manually. To feed the nylon cutting cord, tap the nylon
cutting head on the ground while it rotates around 6,000

NOTE: If the nylon cutting cord does not feed out,
rewind it. Refer to the chapter "MAINTENANCE."
