CUTTING WORK (TRIMMER HEAD USAGE)
WARNING
1. Always wear eye protection such as safety
goggles. Never lean over the rotating cutting at-
tachment. Rocks or other debris could be thrown
into eyes and face and cause serious personal in-
jury.
2. Keep the cutting attachment guard in place at all
times when the unit is operated.
TRIMMING GRASS AND WEEDS
• Always remember that the TIP of the line does cut-
ting. You will achieve better results by not crowding
the line into the cutting area. Allow the unit to trim at
its own pace.
1. Hold the unit so the head is off the ground and is
tilted about 20 degrees toward the sweep direction.
2. You can avoid thrown debris by sweeping from your
left to the right.
3. Use a slow, deliberate action to cut heavy growth.
The rate of cutting motion will depend on the material
being cut. Heavy growth will require slower action than
will light growth.
4. Never swing the unit so hard as you are in danger of
losing your balance or control of the unit.
5. Try to control the cutting motion with the hip rather
than placing the full workload on the arm and hands.
6. Take precautions to avoid wire, grass and dead, dry,
long-stem weeds from wrapping around the head
shaft. Such materials can stall the head and cause
the clutch to slip, resulting in damage to the clutch
system if repeated frequently.
ADJUSTING THE LINE LENGTH
• Your brush cutter is equipped with a semi- auto type
nylon line head that allows the operator to advance
the line without stopping the engine. When the line
becomes short, lightly tap the head on the ground
while running the engine at full throttle.
• Each time the head is bumped, the line advances
about 25 mm. For better effect, tap the head on bear
ground or hard soil. Avoid bumping in thick, tall grass
as the engine may stall by overload.
• Make the right and left lines the same length when
using the nylon line head.
(Be sure to install the genuine Zenoah cutting attach-
ment guard when using the nylon line head.)
• If the lengths of the right and left lines are different,
the balance of the nylon line head will be disrupted,
resulting in increased vibration and product damage.
• If you feel a vibration increase or shaft tube shaking
while using the nylon line head, immediately stop
operation, check the following items, and correct any
problems.
The lengths of the right and left lines are significantly
different.
-->Make them the same length.
The cover is removed.
-->Make sure to install it securely.
There is a crack or damage outside.
-->Replace the damaged part.
• If vibration or shaking persists even after repairing, or
if you cannot identify the cause of abnormality, con-
tact your local authorized Zenoah dealer for repair.
• Never continue to operate the unit when vibration or
shaking of the shaft tube persists.
