WARNING
Never start or run the engine inside a closed or
poorly ventilated area; breathing exhaust fumes
can kill.
NOTE: Be sure to return the stop switch to the "I" (RUN)
position before trying to start unit.
OPERATING THE TRIMMER (Fig. 5)
Hold the trimmer with the right hand on the rear handle
and the left hand on the front handle. Keep a firm grip
with both hands while in operation. Trimmer should be
held at a comfortable position with the rear handle about
hip height.
Always operate trimmer at full throttle. Cut tall grass
from the top down. This will prevent grass from wrapping
around the shaft housing and bump head which may
cause damage from overheating. If grass becomes
wrapped around the bump head, stop the engine,
disconnect the spark plug wire, and remove the grass.
Prolonged cutting at partial throttle will result in lubricant
dripping from the silencer.

CLEANING THE EXHAUST PORT AND MUFFLER

Depending on the type of fuel used, the type and amount
of lubricant used, and/or your operating conditions, the
exhaust port and muffler may become blocked with
carbon deposits. If you notice a power loss with your
petrol powered tool, a qualified service technician will
need to remove these deposits to restore performance.

SPARK ARRESTOR

The spark arrestor must be cleaned or replaced every
25 hours or yearly to ensure proper performance of
your product. Spark arrestors may be in different locations
depending on the model purchased. Please contact
your nearest service dealer for the location of the spark
arrestor for your model.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING
Use only original manufacturer's replacement
parts, accessories and attachments. Failure to
do so can cause possible injury, poor perfor-
mance and may void your warranty.
You may make adjustments and repairs described
here. For other repairs, have the trimmer serviced by
an authorized service agent.
Consequences of improper maintenance may
include excess carbon deposits resulting in loss
of performance and discharge of black lubricanty
residue dripping from the muffler.
Make sure all guards, straps, deflectors and handles
are properly and securely attached to avoid the risk of
personal injury.
For RLT30CES only: the cutting attachment must not
work in idle mode. If this requirement is not satisfied,
the clutch has to be adjusted or the machine needs
an urgent maintenance by a qualified technician.
