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 can
damage, weaken or destroy plastic.
Make sure the battery is detached from the unit, then use
only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let
any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the
tool into a liquid.
Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain agents which
greatly accelerate the corrosion of metals Do not store the
tool on or adjacent to fertilizers or chemicals.
OPERATING
REWINDING SPOOL FROM BULK LINE
(USE ONLY .065" DIAMETER LINE)
Bulk line for your trimmer/edger is available at extra cost
from your local dealer. To install bulk line, follow these steps:
•
Turn off the trimmer and remove the battery.
•
Press the release tabs on the line spool cover as shown
in Fig. 11, and remove the cover by pulling it straight off.
Remove the spool from the tool and remove and discard
all line on the spool.
•
Insert one end of the bulk line into the hole in the spool.
•
Hold the line in the hole and pull the rest of the line
through the slot in the spool.
•
Snugly and evenly wind the bulk line onto the spool in
the direction of the arrow until it is nearly full.
•
Insert the line end through the eyelet in the spool hub.
Pull the line through the hole to maintain tension while
placing the spool down into the hub with the notched
side exposed.
•
Press the spool down GENTLY and rotate it until you
feel it drop into place. (When in place, the spool will turn
a few degrees left and right freely.)
•
Snap the spool cover back on, insert the battery and
turn the tool on. In a few seconds you'll hear the nylon
line being cut automatically to the proper length.
MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
repairs, maintenance and adjustment should be performed by
a qualified individual using only identical replacement parts.
If you drop the trimmer, carefully inspect it for damage. If the
guard is bent or cracked, handles broken or if you see any
other condition that may affect the trimmer's operation, it must
be repaired before putting it back into use. Call our customer
service help line at 1-800-618-7474 for assistance.
