CAUTION:
• Use the trimmer without getting the spool into a
contact with the ground surface. Using the spool
contacting the ground surface may cause the motor
under overload resulting in damage to the trimmer.
CAUTION:
• Do not force the trimmer in densely growing grass.
CAUTION:
• Do not use the trimmer as if you dig out the ground with it
Cutting the grass near a tree,
concrete block, brick or garden stone
Hold the trimmer tilting at a level so that it does not contact the
ground surface and cut the grass using the Nylon cord tip like
knocking the ground. In this work, smooth feeding out is needed
because the Nylon cord wears more quickly than usual.
NOTE:
• Getting the trimmer too close to a tree, concrete
block, brick or garden stone or the like during
performing the edging work or such similar cut-
ting work may cause the nylon cord to be cut off
halfway inside the spool cover. At this time, take
the spool out of the spool cover and then set
the nylon cord again properly by referring to the
section titled "Installing or removing the nylon
cutting head" and "Winding a new nylon cord on
the spool". Using the tip of the nylon cord during
operation brings the best result of operation and
therefore it is recommended to keep the tool
more than 5 cm (1/4") away from the tree, con-
crete block, brick or garden stone or the like.
Start the trimmer before getting close to the grass to
be cut.
Cut the grass using the Nylon cord tip by moving the
trimmer from right to left and proceed slowly, keeping
the trimmer tilted at the angle of about 30° in relation to
the ground surface.
When cutting high grass, cut in layers always beginning
from the top with each cut length short.
Using the tool as an edger
Using the tool as an edger allows the operator to cut
along the edge of the concrete block, brick and the like.
