CAUTION: 

• 

Do not force the trimmer in densely growing grass. 

Fig.22 

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.23 

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 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 

Fig.24 

Using the tool as an edger allows the operator to cut 
along the edge of the concrete block, brick and the like. 

Fig.25 

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.   

Fig.26 

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. 

Fig.27 

To ease the work in a tight place which restricts the 
height, such as cutting the grass under an outdoor wood 
deck and similars, push the lock button and then bend 
down the cutting head so that the shaft is parallel to the 
ground surface. Adjusting the cutting head angle 
properly in this way helps you cut the grass on a slope.
