OPERATION
Cutting the grass
Hold the grass trimmer at the angle of about 50° to the
ground. Move the grass trimmer from right to left slowly.
Cut the grass a few times from the top of the grass at
the tip of the nylon cord.
NOTICE:
Do not cut high grass at a time. Cutting
the high grass at a time near the root may cause the
nylon cutting head to be entangled by grass. This
may cause the motor overload, resulting in damage to
the grass trimmer.
NOTICE:
Use the grass trimmer without getting
the spool into a contact with the ground surface.
Using the spool contacting the ground surface may
cause the motor under overload resulting in damage
to the grass trimmer.
► Fig.22
NOTICE:
Do not force the trimmer in densely
growing grass.
► Fig.23
NOTICE:
Do not use the trimmer as if you dig out
the ground.
► Fig.24
Cutting the grass near tree, block,
brick, or stone
Hold and tilt the grass trimmer at a height where the
spool does not touch the ground. Cut the grass using
the nylon cord tip like knocking the ground.
► Fig.25
NOTICE:
When cutting the grass, move the grass
trimmer around the tree or blocks so that the
nylon cord does not touch the tree or blocks. It is
recommended to keep the tool more than 5 cm away
from the tree or block. If the nylon cord touch the tree
or block, the nylon cord may be torn. If the nylon cord
is torn in the spool, set the nylon cord again referring
to the replacement procedure in this manual.
Using the grass trimmer as an edger
Using the grass trimmer as an edger is suitable for
cutting the grass growing along the bricks or blocks.
Pull down the wire guard and rotate the grass trimmer
180°.
As shown in the figure, while contacting the wire guard
with the ground, move the grass trimmer to cut the
grass. You can cut the grass efficiently by walking in
parallel along the bricks or blocks.
