Installing the front grip
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 1 screw.
Before starting the trimmer, take away the cutter
cover from the cord cutter.
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.
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.
OPERATION
Starting
• Remove stones, loose pieces of wood and
other objects from the cutting area.
• The blade continues to rotate for a few sec-
onds after the cordless trimmer is switched
off. Allow the motor/blade to stop rotating
before switching "on" again.
• Do not rapidly switch off and on.
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.
CAUTION:
• Do not force the trimmer in densely growing
grass.
CAUTION:
• Do not use the trimmer as if you dig out the
ground with it.
Cutting the grass near a tree,
concrete block, brick or garden
stone
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.
