Maintenance and care
Adjusting nylon line
Make sure there is no bystander within 15 m radius and pay
enough attention to objects in the surroundings before starting
operation.
Do not rotate the nylon line cutting head at more than 10000 r/
min.
Do not hit the nylon line cutting head against hard foreign mat-
ters such as rocks, concrete, tree stub and bottle etc.
When releasing nylon line from spool hit tap knob of spool
against the ground surface lightly at rotation speed lower than
4500 r/min.
Cut off knife on the shield adjusts cutting swath automatically
by cutting nylon lines evenly when attachment starts rotating.
When operating with less than maximum cutting swath, cut
two nylon lines in equal lengths.

and wind the "removed line" anew according to procedures

whole length and hook the bent portion into the "notch" of the
intermediate separator.
