WARNING:
Never use metal-reinforced line, wire,
chain, or rope. These can break off and become
dangerous projectiles.
WARNING:
Always use the correct line length
when installing trimming line on the unit.
INSTALLING FIXED LINE
Always use yellow Hassle Free IV™
XTRA QUIET Spiral Line. Lines other
than this one may make the motor
overheat or fail.
To install the trimming line:
1. Insert each end of the
replacement line into the holes
on either side of retention hook
(Fig. 12).
2. Push the ends through until they
stick out of the sides of the head
(Fig. 13).
3. Pull the ends through making sure
that the ends are of equal length
and the middle of the line is
centered between the insertion
holes (Fig. 14).
4. If the ends are not of equal length,
push the longer end back through
the head part way and pull the
shorter end to compensate.
Repeat until both ends are the
same length.

5. Push the trimmer line behind

coming loose while running

CLEANING
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury,
always turn your unit off and unplug it before you
clean or service it.
Switch off the unit and disconnect it from the power source.
Use a small brush to clean off the outside of the unit. Do not
use strong detergents. Household cleaners that contain
aromatic oils such as pine and lemon, and solvents such as
kerosene, can damage plastic housing or handle. Wipe off any
moisture with a soft cloth. Also keep the air vents free of
obstructions.
INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS
Inspect all extension cords. Look closely for deterioration, cuts or
cracks in the insulation. Inspect the connectors for damage.
Replace a damaged or defective cord.
STORAGE
• Allow the unit to cool before storing.
• Lock the unit to prevent unauthorized use or damage.
• Store the unit in a dry, well-ventilated area.
• Store the unit out of the reach of children.
SERVICING DOUBLE INSULATED UNITS
This unit is double-insulated. In a double-insulated unit, two
systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. There
is no grounding provided and no means of grounding should be
added to this unit.
Extreme care and knowledge of the system is required when
servicing a double-insulated unit. Service should be performed by
qualified service personnel only. Replacement parts for a double-
insulated unit must be identical to the parts they replace. Refer any
repair to an authorized service dealer. A double-insulated unit is
marked with the words "double insulation" or "double insulated."
