MAINTENANCE

WARNING:
To avoid serious injury, remove the battery from
the tool before performing any maintenance.
1. Keep the air intake slots clean to avoid overheating.
2. Your trimmer line can dry out over time. To keep your line in top
condition, store spare pre-wound spools or bulk line in a plastic,
sealable bag with a tablespoon of water.
3. Plastic parts may be cleaned by using a mild soap and a damp rag.
4. The line cutter on the edge of the guard can dull over time. It is
recommended you periodically touch-up the sharpness of the
blade with a file.
IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
repairs, maintenance and adjustment should be performed by
authorized service centers or other qualified service organizations,
always using identical replacement parts.

TROUBLESHOOTING

TOOL RUNS SLOWLY
• Remove battery from tool.
• Check that the spool housing can rotate freely. Carefully clean it if
necessary.
• Check that the cutting line does not protrude more than
approximately 4-13/16 inches (122mm) from the spool. If it does,
cut it off so that it just reaches the line trimming blade.
AUTOMATIC LINE FEED DOES NOT WORK
• Remove battery from tool.

• Pull the cutting line until it protrudes approximately 4-13/16
inches (122mm) from the spool. If insufficient cutting line is left on
the spool, install a new spool of cutting line.
• Ensure that the line is not crisscrossed on the spool as detailed
in figure U. If it is, unwind the cutting line, then wind it back on
the spool neatly so that the lines do not cross.
• Push the spool onto the housing until it snaps securely into place.
• Align the tabs on the spool cap with the cut outs in the housing.
• If the cutting line protrudes beyond the trimming blade, cut it off
so that it just reaches the blade. If the automatic line feed still
does not work or the spool is jammed, try the following
suggestions:
• Carefully clean the spool and housing.
• Remove the spool and check if the lever in the spool housing
can move freely.
• Remove the spool and unwind the cutting line, then wind it on
neatly again. Replace the spool into the housing.
