Basic Working Techniques
Operation
The rear handle can be set in five positions as desired. To make it free for positioning, pull
the lock lever.
(See the illustrations at the left.)
Before adjusting the handle, be sure to stop the engine.
Keep the rear handle upward during operation, irrespective of position of the cutting blade.
Top trimming
Hold the handle firmly with both hands, and keep the machine body horizontal. Then, slightly
incline the cutting blade in the cutting direction and trim the shrub while swaying as if
drawing an arc.
Side trimming
Hold the machine body vertical and trim the shrub upward from the bottom keeping the
cutting blade as much apart from your body as possible.
