EQUIPPING THE SHAWL BAND(F12)

1. Equip the attached shawl band.(F12)
2. Turn on the engine, return the throttle lever to the lowest speed     

      position, and put the shawl band hook to the hanging part of the machine.

3. Adjust the length of the shawl band so that the blade is parallel to                            

the ground in the working position. In order to prevent slack during operation, turn up the extra part of  
the band from the buckle.

CUTTING OPERATION

METAL BLADE USAGE

Always cut by guiding the head from your right to left.

A metal blade cuts best  with the outer  1/3. Use that area for 
cutting shrubs, plus tough and thick weeds. For cutting young 
grass you can use the outer 2/3 of the blade.

Adjust the engine speed according to what you are cutting. Cut 
young   grass   at   middle   speed.   Cut   shrubs   or   tough   and   thick 
weeds at high speed.

(1) For branches and trees
(2) For grass and weeds
(3) Direction of cutting
(4) Direction of rotation

Operating at low speed makes it easier for grass, weeds or twigs to 
become  caught  up in  the   blades.  And  also  it   makes  the  shaft   and 
clutch wear down more quickly.

NYLON CUTTER USAGE

Using nylon cord consumes more power. Please note that the engine rotation speed in operation should be  
50% more than when using the metal blade.

 

The nylon cutter cuts grass with the power of cord rotation. If 

you  try to cut grass with the same length of  cord for any time, rotation speed becomes  lower due to  
resistance and you cannot cut well. In case of high resistance, remove the nylon cutter from grass, increase 
the rotation speed and cut a small amount of grass at one time.

If you try to cut grass by swinging the brush cutter in the reverse way (from left to right), cut pieces fly in 
from the body. You can avoid getting your clothes dirty.
