Cutting the grass near a tree, concrete block,
brick or garden stone
012403
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 cutting
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, concrete
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 ﾟ 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
012406

along the edge of the concrete block, brick and the like.

012405
For using the tool as an edger, hold the shaft of the
trimmer with one hand and turn the grip counter
clockwise to loosen the shaft. Rotate the shaft with the
motor housing 180 ﾟ and tighten the grip clockwise until
it locks.
NOTE:
Before rotating the shaft, it needs to be fully
•
shortened or extended.
After changing to the edger position, make sure
•
that the motor housing and shaft are locked.
012407
To obtain a good result of finish cutting, move parallel to
the edge you are going to perform an edging work.
Cutting the grass in a tight place or on a
slope
WARNING:
When cutting the grass on a slope, be careful of
•
stones, grass and other foreign objects thrown
from the cutting head area.
When cutting the grass on a slope, make sure that
•
you always keep a good and stable footing.
