A: Press the stopper pin of the gear case in order to lock
the cutter holder.
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

the ground. The nylon line will be drawn out about
30 mm with each tap. (Fig. 18)
Also, you can extend the nylon line by hand but the
motor must be completely stopped. (Fig. 19)
Adjust the nylon line to the proper length of 110–
140 mm before each operation.
[Installing the cutting blade]
(1) Installation (Fig. 20)
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.
A: Press the stopper pin of the gear case in order to lock
the cutter holder. Please note that the cutter fixing bolt
or nut has left-handed threads, (clockwise to loosen/
counter-clockwise to tighten).
B: Tighten the fixing bolt or nut with the box wrench.
OPERATION
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.
