LINE
CARTRIDGE
INSTALLATION
WARNING:
Never
touch
the
trigger
or switch
lock-out
when
installing
the
trimmer
line.
Contact
with a spinning
trimmer
line can result
in se-
rious
injury.
1. Hold the tool with the Line Holder toward you. Fig-
ure 1.
2. Lift the Tab on the Line Holder.
Figure 1.
When performing
step 3, make sure trimmer
lines that are curved are installed with the ends of the
trimmer
line curved away from the shield.
Figure 1
(inset, lower right),
if the line contacts
the shield
when the unit is running,
stop the motor and reinstall
line until it no longer contacts
unit while rotating.
3. Place the metal sheath (on the trimmer
line) into the
slot in the Line Holder.
Figure 1 (inset, lower left).
Be sure the metal sheath is pushed to the bot-
tom of the slot in the Line Holder.

OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
A
WARNING:
Always
wear
eye protection.
Never
lean over
the unit or use the unit above
shoulder
height.
Rocks
or debris
can ricochet
or be thrown
into
eyes and face and cause
blindness
or other
se-
rious
injury.
•
The tip of the line
does the cutting.
Allow the
line to cut at its own pace. You will achieve better re-
suits by not crowding
the line into the cutting area.
The right and wrong ways are shown in Figure 2.
•
The nylon
line wears
faster
and will need
to be
replaced
more
frequently
when
you
cut
against
rocks,
bricks,
concrete,
metal
fences,
etc., than
against
trees
or wooden
fences.
•
Avoid
letting
the
Line
Holder
continuously
contact
the
ground
during
normal
cutting.
Constant
contact
will cause line holder damage and
premature
line wear. The right and wrong ways are
shown in Figure
2.
•
Keep
air vents
on the motor
housing
free
of
debris
to avoid overheating
the motor. Clean before
each use. See Figure 4 for air vent locations.
