contact the nylon cord cutter provided on
the guard. Contact with the cutter could result
in personal injury.

Mount the guard by fitting it on to the motor housing
so that the Nylon cord is not pinched between the
guard and the motor housing, and then secure it with
two screws. Before starting the trimmer, take away the
cutter cover from the cord cutter.

OPERATION
Attachment of shoulder strap
► Fig.22: 1. Shoulder strap 2. Hook
Hook the shoulder strap in a hole in the front grip.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
Do not cut high grass at a time. Cutting high
•
grass at a time near the root may cause the
trimmer motor spindle to be entangled by grass
which leads to the motor under overload, result-
ing in damage to the trimmer.
► Fig.23
► Fig.24
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.
► Fig.25
CAUTION:
• Do not force the trimmer in densely growing
grass.
► Fig.26
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
► Fig.27
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.
