OPERATION
CUTTING LINE
This line trimmer is equipped with a string cut off blade
on the grass shield. See Figure 11. For best cutting,
advance line until it is trimmed to length by the string
cut-off blade. Advance line whenever you hear the motor
running faster than normal. This will maintain best
performance and keep the cutting line long enough to
advance properly.
OPERATING TIPS
Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all
■
objects such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire,
or string which can be thrown or become entangled in
the string head.
Keep the line trimmer tilted toward the area
■
being cut. Avoid digging into grass.
Slowly move the line trimmer in and out of the area
■
being cut.
Use the tip of line to do the cutting - do not force
■
string head into uncut grass.
Cut tall grass from the top down. This will prevent
■
grass from wrapping around the string head that may
cause damage from overheating. If grass or other
debris becomes wrapped around the string head,
STOP THE MOTOR by releasing the trigger and
allow the string head to stop spinning. Remove the
battery pack and then remove the grass or debris.
Wire and picket fences cause extra line wear, even
■
breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood
may wear line rapidly. Walk around trees and shrubs.
Tree bark, wood mouldings, siding, and fence posts
can easily be damaged by the line.
Keep the line trimmer tilted toward the area
■
being cut. To trim around trees, posts, fences, etc.,
keep the line trimmer at a 30- degree angle.
See Figure 12.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
WARNING
When servicing use only identical replacement
parts. Use of any other parts can create a hazard
or cause product damage. Avoid using solvents
when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are
susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by
their use. Use a clean cloth to remove dirt, oil,
grease, etc.

CAUTION
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum based products, penetrating oils, etc.,
come in contact with plastic parts. They contain
chemicals that may damage, weaken, or destroy
plastics.
CUTTING LINE REPLACEMENT
The cutting line may be replaced by either rewinding the
existing spool or installing a convenient prewound spool.
REWINDING THE EXISTING SPOOL
See Figure 13.
Remove the battery pack from the line trimmer.
■
Press in the tabs on each side of the spool cap.
■
Remove the spool cap and spool. Discard any
■
remaining line on the spool.
NOTE: If the spring falls off the spool housing during
this procedure, reinstall the spring before installing
the spool and spool cap.
Inspect the string head for damaged or worn parts
■
and clean thoroughly.
Using approximately 3 m (10 feet) of new cutting line,
■
insert one end of the line into the slot on the spool.
Ensure the end of the line is pushed all the way
towards the inner side of slot.
NOTE: No more than 3.175 mm (1/8 in.) of the line is
to protrude from the slot.
Wind the line, in even and tight layers, onto the spool.
■
Line should be wound in the direction of the arrow
indicated on the spool.
Unwind approximately 102 mm (4 in.) of the line from
■
the spool. Hold the line and spool firmly to keep it from
unwinding then place the spool cap onto the spool.
Holding the spool cap and spool by the bump knob,
■
place into the spool housing and insert cutting line
into the opening in spool housing.
NOTE: Tabs on the spool cap should be aligned with
the slots in the spool housing.
While pressing in the tabs, push down the spool cap
■
and spool to lock in place.
Completely assembled string head should appear as
■
shown. See Figure 14.
WARNING
Use only 1.65 mm (0.065 in) diameter genuine
replacement line. Never use metalreinforced line,
wire, or rope, etc. These can break off and
become a dangerous projectile. Do not use any
other attachment on this unit.
