The front grip angle is adjustable. To adjust the front
grip angle, loosen the thumb nut, set the front grip at an
proper angle according to your work and then tighten
the thumb nut clockwise firmly.
Installing the wire guard
NOTICE:
Do not expand the wire guard outward
too much. Otherwise it may break.
To reduce the risk of damaging the objects in front of the
cutting head, attach the wire guard to the protector so
that it controls the cutting range.
Slightly expand the wire guard outward and then insert
it into the holes of the protector.
For nylon cutting head:
Attach the wire guard to the holes on the front side of
the protector. The nylon cord mark on the protector
indicates the hole to be used.
