Cutting the grass near a tree, concrete

block, brick or garden stone (Fig. 27)

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° 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

Using the tool as an edger allows the operator to cut along

the edge of the concrete block, brick and the like. (Fig. 28)

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° and tighten the grip clockwise until it locks.

(Fig. 29)

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.

To obtain a good result of finish cutting, move parallel to

the edge you are going to perform an edging work.

(Fig. 30)

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.

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. (Fig. 31)

battery cartridge is removed before attempting to
