automatically be cut to the proper length by the cutter on

the guard. (Fig. 10)

NOTE:

• If the nylon cord does not feed out while bumping the

head, rewind/replace the nylon cord by following the

procedures described under “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

WARNING:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off 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 injury

from accidental start-up.

Installing the front grip (Fig. 11)

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.

Installing the guard

CAUTION:

• While installing the guard, be careful not to contact

the nylon cord cutter provided on the guard.

Contact with the cutter could result in personal injury.

Mount the guard by fitting it on to the motor housing so

that the nylon cord is not pinched between the guard and

the motor housing, and then secure it with two screws.

Before starting the trimmer, take away the cutter cover

from the cord cutter. (Fig. 12)

Installing or removing the nylon cutting

head

WARNING:

• Before installing or removing the nylon cutting

head (both spool cover and spool, and hereafter

called this way), make sure that the tool is switched

off and the battery cartridge is removed from the

tool. Failure to switch off the tool and remove the

battery cartridge may cause a personal injury.

CAUTION:

• While installing or removing the nylon cutting

head, be careful not to contact the nylon cord

cutter provided on the guard. Contact with the cutter

could result in personal injury.

To remove the nylon cutting head (spool and spool cover)

from the string trimmer, press in the latches forcefully on

both sides of the spool cover and raise it. (Fig. 13 & 14)

NOTICE:

• Make sure that the spring is installed inside the spool

holder.

To install a cord-newly-wound nylon cutting head (spool

and spool cover) on the string trimmer, align the nylon

cord eyehole with the notch of the nylon cutting head

installation port on the trimmer and then press in it until a

click is heard. (Fig. 15)

Winding a new nylon cord on the spool

Remove the spool from the spool cover and take off the

remaining used nylon cord from the spool. (Fig. 16)

Insert a nylon cord to the retainer shown in the figure.

(Fig. 17)

Wind it tightly flat around the spool in the direction of

arrow on the spool so that the wound nylon cord surface

appears uniform over the winding area. (Fig. 18)

Temporarily fix a nylon cord at the notch shown in the

figure. (Fig. 19)

Bring the nylon cord through the nylon cord eyehole in the

spool cover. (Fig. 20)

After installing the nylon cutting head, make sure that the

nylon cord comes out by pressing the spool and pulling

the nylon cord. (Fig. 21)

OPERATION

Attachment of shoulder strap (Fig. 22)

Hook the shoulder strap in a hole in the front grip.

Operation

CAUTION:

• Do not cut high grass at a time. Cutting high grass at

a time near the root may cause the trimmer motor

spindle to be entangled by grass which leads to the

motor under overload, resulting in damage to the

trimmer.

CAUTION:

• Use the 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 trimmer.

(Fig. 23 & 24)

CAUTION:

• Do not force the trimmer in densely growing grass.

(Fig. 25)

CAUTION:

• Do not use the trimmer as if you dig out the ground with

it. (Fig. 26)
