Cutting the grass near a tree, concrete block, brick or garden stone 1. Motor housing 2. Grip 1 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 2 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. 012406 Using the tool as an edger allows the operator to cut along the edge of the concrete block, brick and the like. 12
