 The horizon-

tal distance between the hanger and the unguarded 
part of the cutting tool

Correct handling of the tool

WARNING:

 

Always position the tool on your 

right-hand side.

 Correct positioning of the tool allows 

for maximum control and will reduce the risk of seri-

ous personal injury caused by kickback.

WARNING:

 

Be extremely careful to maintain 

control of the tool at all times. Do not allow the 

tool to be deflected toward you or anyone in the 

work vicinity.

 Failure to keep control of the tool 

could result in serious injury to the bystander and the 

operator.

WARNING:

 

To avoid accident, leave more 

than 15m (50 ft) distance between operators when 
two or more operators work in one area. Also, 
arrange a person to observe the distance between 
operators. If someone or an animal enter the 
working area, immediately stop the operation.

CAUTION:

 

If the cutting tool accidentally 

impacts a rock or hard object during operation, 
stop the tool and inspect for any damage. If the 
cutting tool is damaged, replace it immediately.

 

Use of a damaged cutting tool may result in serious 

personal injury.

CAUTION:

 

Remove the blade cover from the 

cutter blade when cutting the grass.

Correct positioning and handling allow optimum control 

and reduce the risk of injury caused by kickback. The 

way of cutting varies depending on the cutting tool to 
be used.

2-tooth, 3-tooth, 4-tooth, 8-tooth 
blades, nylon cutting head, and 
plastic blade

These cutting tools are useful for cutting grass and 
weeds. Swing the tool evenly in a half-circle from right 
to left. Repeat right-to-left stroke while advancing 
forward.

When using a nylon cutting head (bump & feed 
type)

The nylon cutting head is a dual string trimmer head 
provided with a bump & feed mechanism.
To feed out the nylon cord, tap the cutting head against 
the ground while rotating.

 If the nylon cord does not feed out while 

tapping the head, rewind/replace the nylon cord 
by following the procedures in the section for the 
maintenance.
