Using a semi-auto cutting head
○ Set the engine at high speed when using this
attachment.
○ Cut grass from left to right. The cut grass will
be discharged away from the body, minimizing
transfer to your clothes. (Fig. 14)
○ Cut grass from right to left as the cutting
attachment of the curved drive shaft tube model
rotates clockwise.
○ With nylon cord, use about 3/4" (2 cm) of the end
of the cord to cut grass. Using the full length of
the cord will reduce rotation speed and make
cutting diffi cult.
NOTE
Automatically feeds more nylon cutting line
when it is tapped at low rpm (not greater than
6,000 min ).

WARNING
● This product is equipped with a line limiter
that will automatically cut any excess cord.
When operating the unit, do not remove the
guard or line limiter.
As the resistance is greater for nylon cords
as opposed to blades, mishandling could
increase engine load and result in damage.
