NOTE
If engine does not start, repeat procedures from
2 to 5.
(7) Then allow the engine about 2–3 minutes to
warm up before subjecting it to any load.
(8) Check that the cutting attachment does not rotate
when the engine is idling.
2. Starting the warm engine
Use only 1, 6 and 8 of the starting procedure for a
cold engine.
If the engine does not start, use the same starting
procedure as for a cold engine.

WARNING
● Always wear the proper attire and protective
equipment when operating the unit. (Fig. 12)
● Keep others including children, animals,
bystanders and helpers outside the 15 m
hazard zone. Stop the engine immediately if
you are approached. (Fig. 13)
● When grass or
attachment, stop engine and attachment
and remove them. Continuing operation
with grass or vines wrapped around the
attachment may result in damages such as
early abrasion of the clutch.

NOTE
Use in accordance
regulations.
Using a semi-auto cutting head
○ Set the engine at high speed when using this
attachment.
○ Cut grass from left to right. The cut grass will
be discharged away from the body, minimizing
transfer to your clothes. (Fig. 14)

○ With nylon cord, use about 3/4" (2 cm) of the end
of the cord to cut grass. Using the full length of
the cord will reduce rotation speed and make
cutting diffi cult.
NOTE
Automatically feeds more nylon cutting line
when it is tapped at low rpm (not greater than
6,000 min ).

WARNING
● This product is equipped with a line limiter
that will automatically cut any excess cord.
When operating the unit, do not remove the
guard or line limiter.
As the resistance is greater for nylon cords
as opposed to blades, mishandling could
increase engine load and result in damage.
● Do not use with the engine set at low
speeds. If the engine speed is low, grass
may wrap around the attachment, causing
the clutch to slip which could result in clutch
abrasion.
● With nylon cord cutters, always use over
5-7/8" (15 cm) of cord. If the length of
the cord is too short, rotation speed will
increase and may cause damage to the
nylon cord cutter. As the curved drive shaft
tube model in particular is not equipped with
a deceleration mechanism, the possibility
of increased rotation speed for the cutting
attachment is high.
Stopping (Fig. 15)
Decrease engine speed and run at an idle for a few
minutes, then turn off ignition switch (10).
