(Mounting the nylon cutting head)
Operation
1.
Increase the cutter head speed to approx.
6,000
RPM.
Low speed (under 4,000
RPM)
causes
inefficient cutting. Use the
tip
of
the nylon cord
(shaded area shown
in
Fig.
20)
for more effective
cutting.
2.
When the nylon cord wears down (becomes short),
decrease the engine speed to
under
4,000
RPM
and
bump
the
knob of
the
nylon cutting head
against the ground to feed
out
the nylon cord
