Trimming
Trimming operation
Always mount the trimmer correctly using the shoulder har-
ness.
 Buckle waist belt. Belt should be snug.
 Attach product to harness.
 Place shoulder harness over left shoulder and adjust straps
so the quick release pin rests just below the waist.
 Check for correct adjustment by moving cutting attachment
along ground.
 Re-adjust position of suspension point if necessary.
 The shoulder harness is fitted with an emergency release
function. In the event of a fire or other emergency, pull the
quick release pin (A) up to release the product from your
body.
WARNING
 Do not rotate the nylon line cutting head at more than 10000 r/
min.
 When releasing nylon line from spool, hit tap knob of spool
against the ground surface lightly at rotation speed lower than
4500 r/min.
 Cut off knife on the shield adjusts cutting swath automatically
by cutting nylon lines evenly when attachment starts rotating.
 When operating with less than maximum cutting swath, cut
two nylon lines in equal lengths.
 When nylon line becomes shortened, hit tap knob (A) of spool
against the ground surface lightly and the line is released from
spool to come out.
 This is feeding the trimmer carefully into the material you wish
to cut. Tilt the head slightly to direct the debris away from you.
If cutting up to a barrier such as a fence, wall or tree, approach
from an angle where any debris ricocheting off the barrier will
fly away from you.
 Move the nylon line cutting head slowly until the grass is cut
right up to the barrier, but do not jam (overfeed) the line into
the barrier. If trimming up wire mesh or chain link fencing, be
careful to feed only up to the wire. If you go too far, the line will
snap off around the wire.
 Trimming can be done to cut through weed stems one at a
time. Place the nylon line cutting head near the bottom of the
weed never high up, which could cause the weed to chatter
and catch the line. Rather than cut the weed right through, just
use the very end of the line to wear through the stem slowly.
