Line Replacement - Ego Power+ STA1600 Operator's Manual

WARNING: Clear the area to be cut before each
use. Remove all objects, such as rocks, broken glass,
nails, wire, or string that can be thrown or become
entangled in the cutting attachment. Clear the area of
children, bystanders, and pets. At a minimum, keep
all children, bystanders and pets at least 15m away;
there still may be risk to bystanders from thrown
objects. Bystanders should be encouraged to wear eye
protection. If you are approached, stop the motor and
cutting attachment immediately.
For safe and better operation, put on the shoulder
strap across the shoulder. Adjust the shoulder strap
in a comfortable operating position. Hold the line
trimmer with your one hand on the rear handle and
your other hand on the front handle. Keep a firm grip
with both hands while in operation. The line trimmer
should be held at a comfortable position with the rear
handle about hip height. The trimmer head should
be parallel to the ground so that it easily contacts the
material to be cut without the operator having to bend
over (Fig. B).
WARNING: The shoulder strap is also a quick
release mechanism in hazardous situation. When
emergency occurs, take it off from your shoulder
immediately, no matter what way the strap is in.
After each use, clean the trimmer
See the MAINTENANCE section for cleaning instructions.

ADJUSTING CUTTING LINE LENGTH
The trimmer head allows the operator to release more
cutting line without stopping the motor. As line becomes
frayed or worn, additional line can be released by lightly
tapping the trimmer head on the ground while operating
the trimmer (Fig. E).
NOTICE:
Line release will become more difficult as the
cutting line becomes shorter.
WARNING:
Do not remove or alter the line-cutting
blade assembly. Excessive line length will cause the motor to
overheat and may result in serious personal injury.

LINE REPLACEMENT

NOTICE: Always use the recommended nylon cutting line
with diameter no more than 2.4mm. Using line other than
that specified may cause the line trimmer to overheat or
become damaged.
