My First Grass Cutting Experience – Surprisingly Fun! ♪ Makita Split Motor MUX18D

Makita Cordless Split Motor
MUX18D (18V)

Split = divide, separate, split apart
The motor section and tip tool are
detachable.

Right now, is it the hottest thing?
Grass trimmer (brush cutter)

I realized after buying it
that “tip tools” are in short supply

You can’t understand the world of a particular field
unless you actually get into it. I really love that aspect.

I’m fully geared up like this
I also wear goggles during work.
I got right to cutting.

Anyway, with unfamiliar movements
I was learning while working

Even though it’s a plastic blade
I was surprised at how sharp it is.
I’m a bit hesitant
to use a carbide blade right from the start.

For grass and soft weeds, the plastic blade handles it easily
A nylon cord is ideal
*I didn’t have time to get that

The plastic blade is
a beginner-friendly tool
I had a pretty good impression of it

However
grass that’s grown to about the thickness of chopsticks
and waist-high
“doesn’t stand a chance”

Once I switched to the carbide blade
I understood why grass cutting is necessary.

With just one carbide blade
it can cut through even thicker material
and human skill can compensate.
Basically, it requires practice and skill

For no particular reason
I went to cut in an overgrown area.

I need to try cutting
various types and locations for learning purposes.
Cutting technique, grip, blade selection, rotation speed
This is quite deep… (‘Д’)

But
it’s really fun.
I can understand why people
get hooked on grass cutting…

ThisMakita Cordless Split Motor
MUX18D (18V)

has 2-stage rotation speed adjustment
and
you can adjust rotation with the switch.
*It changes based on how much you press the switch

In the end, I kept it at setting 2 (fast)
and adjusted rotation for use, which worked best.

For about an hour
I cut here and there
.
Everything is
covered in sap and dirt.

I hit some weird spots
so the blade is quite worn.

Cleaning machinery is also
hands-free! Perfect! ♪
A reliable item that works for everything

Spray it on and let it sit for a few minutes
then just wipe it off.

It softens everything so you can wipe it clean.
I try to clean it regularly.
There’s the hassle factor too
but consistent cleaning is important

Plus, hands-free cleaning
also has a coating effect
so it should resist dirt better next time

For cleaning work
try to keep it quick and easy!

You can keep things clean consistently.
It’s the same with everything. ♪
Doing it every time prevents tool damage

This time with the nylon blade

my technique wasn’t great
there’s quite a bit of damage
and the blade has become dull.
High wear…
It’s quite difficult

Next time
I’ll try a nylon cutter.
Goraku Nylon Cutter No.0952

I found something even better
but it’s so scarce I can’t get it…
The grass cutting world is terrifying
Prices on Yahoo Auctions are skyrocketing too

My DIY trimmer grip
is working great
I removed my DIY grip once and tried
using the D-handle

I got really tired…
It’s hard to swing and lift
This handle is essential and necessary

Trimmer HandleCheck it out (*´ω｀*)
They sell them
but they don’t arrive quickly…
Plus the clamp diameter is unclear, which is scary
So this time I made one myself

You can easily cut grass with a grass trimmer
Once you experience it
you might just get hooked~

↑The clamp diameter is unclear, so be careful.
