Maintenance - Weed Eater WLT24 Instruction Manual

Clearing Jams
CAUTION: To prevent injury, keep hands away from trigger while clearing of jams
of the line head. To prevent injury, do not use the line trimmer with a damaged line
head assembly.
1. Inspect cutting line and spool and clear away debris.
2. Unwrap the spool several turns and inspect the line for damage.
3. Cut away damaged line and discard. Inspect the line head assembly for cracks
or damage.
4. While gently pulling on the cutting line, press the spool (bump head) until the
line releases. If jam is cleared, the spool should spin free a short distance and
the line will advance.
5. If the unit continues to jam or will not spin freely, call our customer service
number (800) 540-5688. Failure to stop the unit when the line is jammed will
cause excessive battery drainage and shorten motor life (overheating).

MAINTENANCE

LUBRICATION – No periodic lubrication of the line trimmer bearings or other
moving parts is required.
CLEANING OF PLASTIC PARTS – Use only a dry brush or a cloth with warm
water and mild soap to clean plastic parts. Many household cleaners contain
chemicals, which could damage the plastic. Never use gasoline, turpentine, paint
thinner or similar fl uids. Never spray-wash tool or immerse in water. Water or liquid
inside the tool can cause serious damage to the unit.
FUSE – The unit is equipped with a fuse (15 Amp) that will protect from
extreme overload to the motor. To change the fuse, fi rst remove both
battery-housing covers by unscrewing their respective screws. Locate the
fuse holder, remove its cover and replace fuse. Please refer to fi gure-8.
