(4) Release about 150 mm of the nylon cord from both ends,
fold the middle part and attach to the hook on the spool.
Next, wind the cord on the spool in the direction shown
by the arrow, being careful not to crisscross it (Fig. 23,
24).
(5) Leave about 100 mm – 150 mm nylon cord unwound,
hook and secure the line in the stopper. (Fig. 25)
NOTE
Do not cross the nylon line when securing the line in the
stopper. (Fig. 26)
(6) Align the position of the stopper and eyelet line guide,
and then insert the button through the case.
Release the line from the stopper while holding the reel
lightly, and then string the line through the eyelet line
guide. (Fig. 27)
(7) Press and snap the tabs of the case in the locking holes
of the cover. (Fig. 28)
WARNING
Check to make sure the tabs are fi rmly snapped into the
locking holes.
Operating the tool while the parts are not fi rmly snapped
together may results in accidents or injury from fl ying
part.
(8) Pull the line taught so there is no slack, and then cut
the line to an extended length of 90 mm – 110 mm with
scissors. (Fig. 29)
OPERATION
Trimming grass
WARNING
○ Do not operate the tool at night or under bad weather
conditions when visibility is poor.
○ Do not operate the tool when it is raining or right after it
has been raining.
○ Wear proper footwear to prevent slipping that could
cause you to lose your balance and fall.
○ Do not use the tool on steep slopes.
When trimming grass on slopes that are not so steep,
trim by moving towards the ridge.
○ Place the right hand on the handle and the left hand on
the loop handle and hold it fi rmly.
○ Take care not to move the nylon head too close to your
feet.
○ Do not raise the nylon head above your knee during
cutting.
○ Do not use the tool where the nylon head may come into
contact with stones, tree and other obstacles.
○ A nylon head can injure while it continues to spin after
the motor is stopped. When the unit is turned off , make
sure the nylon head has stopped before the unit is set
down.
○ Do not use the tool within 15 m of another person. When
you work with someone else, maintain a distance of
more than 15 m.
1. Insert the battery while observing its polarities.
2. Turn on the tool. (Fig. 30)
○ Press the power button on the housing, the power goes
on and the power lamp on the housing or handle lights
red.
○ Pressing the power button a second time turns the power
off and the red lamp on the housing or handle goes off .
[Auto power off ]
When the power is turned on but the lever is not used for
one minute, the tool is automatically turned off . To turn
the tool on again, press the power button a second time.
WARNING
Never leave the tool with the power on. This could result
in an accident.
3. Lever operation and brake (Fig. 31)
To start rotation of the nylon head, with the power turned
on, pull the lever while pressing the locking lever.
When you release the lever, the brake engages in 1 – 3
seconds, stopping rotation of the nylon head.
Make sure that the brake operates normally before using
the tool.
4. Speed dial (Fig. 32)
A speed dial for changing the rotational speed in the
range of 5800 – 7000 min
Turn the dial clockwise to increase the speed and
counterclockwise to reduce the speed.
5. Trimming grass
○ Grip the handle from above, press the locking lever and
pull the lever to start cutting head rotation. (Fig. 33)
○ Release the lever when you fi nish trimming and stop the
motor.
○ Place your thumb on the handle and grip the handle with
your other fi ngers. (Fig. 34) (CG36DA, CG36DTA only)
○ Place your thumb on the loop handle and grip the
handle with your other fi ngers. (Fig. 35) (CG36DA (L),
CG36DTA (L) only)
○ Take a posture that makes it easy to move.
[Grass trimming techniques]
Do not swing the pipe, but use the hips to move the nylon
head horizontally from right to left in an arc while going
forward and use the left side of the nylon head for cutting
grass. (Fig. 36)

OPERATIONAL CAUTIONS

Continuous work
This tool comes with an over-heat protection circuit
that protects the electronic parts that control the
rechargeable battery. In continuous trimming work, tool
temperature will rise and eventually trigger the over-heat
protection circuit, which will shut down the tool.
If this happens, let the tool cool for a length of time. When
the temperature drops, it will again become possible to
use the tool. When the rechargeable battery has to be
exchanged during continuous operation, let the tool rest
for about 15 minutes.
Overload Protection
This tool comes with an overload protection circuit
to protect the electronic parts controlling the tool. In
continuous overload during trimming work (locking the
nylon head, etc.), the overload protection circuit shuts
down the motor. If this happens, turn OFF the power,
and then resolve the problem causing the overload.
The power lamp blinks if the lever is pressed after the
motor has stopped (see page 14, "ABOUT POWER
LAMP"). The power automatically turns OFF if the power
lamp blinks longer than 5 seconds. If this happens,
resolve the problem causing the overload, and then
switch the power button ON to resume using the tool.
Carrying the tool (Fig. 37)
CAUTION
○ Remove the storage battery.
○ Carry the tool holding with hands.
○ When retracting the main pipe, be careful of the
pointed end and take care not get your fi ngers caught.
(CG36DTA, CG36DTA (L) only)
Release the locking lever and retract the main pipe. Lock
the locking lever until the projection hits the main pipe. This
procedure allows you to reduce the tool to a compact size.
The main pipe can be retracted to any position. Choose
a suitable length for carrying and storage. (CG36DTA,
CG36DTA (L) only)
