WARNING:
To prevent serious injury, never perform
maintenance on the unit while it is running. Always remove
the battery to prevent the unit from starting accidentally.
Always allow the unit to cool before maintaining the unit.
Before maintaining the battery charger, always unplug it
from the wall outlet.
REPLACING THE TRIMMING LINE
Only use the trimming line described in the Specifications section.
Other types of trimming line may cause the motor to overheat or fail.
WARNING:
Never use metal-reinforced line, wire, chain or
rope. These can break off and become dangerous projectiles.
Installing New Trimming Line
1. Remove the old line from the cutting head.
2. Use a clean cloth to clean the surface of the cutting head.
3. Insert the ends of the line through the holes in the side of the
cutting head (Fig. 9). Push the line through the holes until both
ends protrude from the positioning tunnels (Fig. 10).
4. Pull the ends of the line until the line is tight against the cutting
head. Make sure the ends of the line are of equal length (Fig. 11).
The line cutting blade will trim any excess line.
