Before you mount the nylon cutting head, turn the cutter
holder until you can see a slit under the hole. Insert the
lock key through the hole so that the base does not turn.
Then screw the cutting head clockwise with holding the
lock key until the cutting head is locked firmly. After the
cutting head is mounted, remove the lock key. Make sure
that the cutting head is tightly attached to the tool before
use.
To remove the nylon cutting head, turn it
counterclockwise while holding the lock key.
CAUTION:
•
If the nylon cutting head accidentally impacts a
rock or hard object during operation, stop the
tool and inspect it for any damage. If the nylon
cutting head is damaged, replace it immediately.
Otherwise it may be fly apart and cause serous
personal injury.
