Maintenance
After each use of the trimmer, complete the following:
1.
Remove the battery from the power head.
2.
Wipe the trimmer clean with a damp cloth. Do
not hose the trimmer down or submerge it in
water.
CAUTION
The line cutoff blade on the deflector is
sharp and can cut you.
Do not use your hands to clean the
deflector shield and blade.
3.
Wipe or scrape clean the cutting head area any
time there is an accumulation of debris.
4.
Check and tighten all fasteners. If any part is
damaged or lost, repair or replace it.
5.
Brush debris away from air intake vents and
exhaust on motor housing to prevent the motor
from overheating.
Replacing the String
Important:
Use only 2 mm (0.080 in) diameter
monofilament string (Part No. 88611).
1.
Remove the battery pack and clean any debris
from the trimmer head.
2.
Remove any old string on the spool by
repetitively pressing the bump button while
pulling the line out equally from both sides of the
trimmer.
3.
Cut a piece of 2 mm (0.080 inch) string to
approximately 3.9 m (13.0 ft).
Important:
Do not use any other gauge
or type of string, and do not exceed 3.9 m
(13.0 ft) of string, as this could damage the
trimmer.

arrow on the knob aligns with arrow on the string
head

eyelet and push the line through the string
IN
head track until it comes out through the eyelet
on the other side. Pull the line though the string
head until the line outside the string is evenly
divided on each side.
