The standard accessory nylon head can be used with lines
from Φ2.0 mm (max. length 4 m) up to Φ2.7 mm (max.
length 2 m).
CAUTION
○ The case must be securely attached to the cover.
○ Check the cover, case and other components for cracks
or other damage.
○ Check the case and button for wear. If the wear limit
mark on the case or the arrow mark on the button is no
longer visible or there is a hole in the bottom of the
button, change the nylon head immediately. (Fig. 13)
○ The nylon head must be securely mounted to the unit's
gear case.
○ If the nylon head does not feed cutting line properly,
check that the nylon line and all components are
properly installed. Contact HiKOKI Authorized Service
Centers if you need assistance.
(2) Installation (Fig. 14)
A: Align the hex. bar wrench with the hole of the gear case
and with the groove of the cutter holder (A) and insert it
to stop the rotation of the blade.
B: Install nylon head on gear case of tool. The mounting
nut is left-hand-threaded. Turn clockwise to loosen/
counter-clockwise to tighten.
NOTE
Since the cutter holder cap is not used here, keep it for
when a metal blade is used, if so equipped.
(3) Adjusting line length
Set the speed as low as possible and tap the button on
the ground. The nylon line will be drawn out about
30 mm with each tap. (Fig. 15)
Also, you can extend the nylon line by hand but the
motor must be completely stopped. (Fig. 16)
Adjust the nylon line to the proper length of 110–
140 mm before each operation.
[Installing the cutting blade]
(1) Installation (Fig. 17)
WARNING
○ When installing a cutting blade, make sure that there
are no cracks or any damage in it and that the cutting
edges are facing the correct direction.
○ Remove any surface grit from blade installation fittings
(cutter holder (A) (B), nut cover, nut). Failure to do so
may result in the loosening of nuts.
○ The protrusion of the cutter holder (A) may become
misaligned with the blade while tightening nut. Before
operation, make sure the blade has been properly
installed.
○ Rotate the blade by hand and make sure there is no
rocking or abnormal noise. Rocking may cause
abnormal vibrations or result in the loosening of nuts.
CAUTION
○ If your unit is equipped with protection cover under a
cutting blade, check the blade installation brackets for
wear or cracks before operation. If any damage or wear
is found, replace it, as it is an article of consumption.
○ You have to wear gloves when handling the cutting
blade.
NOTE
When installing cutter holder cap, be sure to set
concave side upward.

WARNING
○ Avoid using the tool continuously for long hours, and
take a break of at least 5 minutes after every 30 minutes
of working.
Being tired is the largest cause of accidents. Allow
enough time to work without rushing.
○ 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 cutting on slopes that are not so steep, cut by
moving towards the ridge.
○ Take care not to move the cutting attachment too close
to your feet.
○ Do not raise the cutting attachment above your knee
during cutting.
○ Do not use the tool where the cutting attachment may
come into contact with stones, tree and other obstacles.
○ A cutting attachment can injure while it continues to spin
after the motor is stopped. When the unit is turned off,
make sure the cutting attachment 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.
