Fig.6
The nylon cutting head is a single string trimmer head
provided with a bump & feed mechanism.
To cause the nylon cord to feed out, the cutting head
should be bumped against the ground while the tool is
running. As the nylon cord is feeding out it will
automatically be cut to the proper length by the cutter
on the guard.
NOTE:
If the nylon cord does not feed out while bumping
•
the head, rewind/replace the nylon cord by
following
the
"Installing or removing the Nylon cutting head" and
"Winding a new Nylon cord on the spool."
Do not bump the tool to the concrete or asphalt
•
surface. Bumping to this kind of objects may
cause the tool damage.
ASSEMBLY

and battery cartridge is removed before
carrying out any work on the tool. Failure to
switch off and remove the battery cartridge may
result in serious personal injury from accidental
start-up.
Never start the tool unless it is completely
•
assembled. Operation of the tool in a partially
assembled state may result in serious personal

Installing the front grip
Fig.7
Put the front grip on the front grip holder and secure it
with a hex bolt and the clamping nut provided with the
string trimmer as shown in the figure. At this time, the
hex bolt needs to be installed from the side in which the
hex bolt lock port is located and the clamping nut needs
to be installed from the opposite side.
NOTE:
The front grip has a edge-to-edge cut slit in its
•
mounting area. Using this slit allows you to easily
install the front grip on the front grip holder.
The front grip angle is adjustable. To adjust the front
grip angle, loosen the claming nut, set the front grip at
an proper angle according to your work and then tighten
the nut clockwise firmly.
