2. Precautions

○ The case must be securely attached to the cover.

○ Check the cover, case and other components for

cracks or other damage.

○ Check the case and button for wear.

If the wear limit mark (17) on the case is no longer

visible or there is a hole in the bottom (18) of the

button, change the new parts immediately. (Fig.

14)

○ The cutting head must be securely mounted to

the unit’s gear case.

○ For outstanding performance and reliability,

always use Hitachi nylon cutting line. Never

use wire or other materials that could become a

dangerous projectile.

○ If the cutting head does not feed cutting line

properly, check that the nylon line and all

components are properly installed. Contact your

Hitachi dealer if you need assistance.

3. Installation (Fig. 15)

○ Install cutting head on gear case of grass

trimmers/brush cutters. The mounting nut is

left-hand-threaded. Turn clockwise to loosen/

counterclockwise to tighten.

Fig. 15

For curved shaft models, the mounting nut is right-

hand-threaded. Turn counterclockwise to loosen/

clockwise to tighten.

NOTE

○ Since the cutter holder cap is not used here, keep

it for when a metal blade is used, if so equipped.

○ Insert Allen wrench (19) into the hole of the gear

case in order to lock the cutter holder.

4. Adjusting line length

○ Set the engine speed as low as possible and tap

the head on the ground. The nylon line will be

drawn out about 1-3/16˝ (3 cm) with each tap.

(Fig. 16)

Also, you can extend the nylon line by hand but

the engine must be completely stopped. (Fig. 17)

○ Adjust the nylon line to the proper length

of 4-11/32˝–5-1/2˝ (11–14) cm before each

operation.
