Cutting the grass near a tree, concrete block, 
brick or garden stone   

Fig.22 

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.23 

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

Fig.24 

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.25 

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.26 

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
