Nylon cutting head (optional accessory
for a product that comes with a cutter
blade)
NOTICE:
• Do not attempt to bump feed the head while the tool is
operating at a high RPM. Bump feeding at a high RPM
may cause damage to the nylon cutting head.
• The bump feed will not operate properly if the head is
not rotating. (Fig. 12)
The nylon cutting head is a dual string trimmer head
provided with a bump & feed mechanism. To cause the
nylon cord to feed out, the cutting head should be bumped
against the ground while rotating at a low RPM. As the
nylon cord is feeding out it will automatically be cut to the
proper length by the cutters on the guard extension.
NOTE:
If the nylon cord does not feed out while bumping the
head, rewind/replace the nylon cord by following the
procedures described under "Maintenance."

for models with Battery BL3622A)
Battery BL3622A is equipped with the battery remaining
capacity indicator. (Fig. 13)
Press the CHECK button to indicate the battery remaining
capacity. The indicator lamps will then light for approx.
three seconds.

alternately, the battery may have malfunctioned.
