After each use, clean the trimmer.
CAUTION:
Obstructions in the vents will prevent
the air from flowing into the motor housing and result in
overheating or damaged of the motor.
◾
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.
◾
Keep air vents in the motor housing from debris at all
times.
WARNING: Never use water for cleaning your
trimmer. Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic
parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from
various types of commercial solvents. Use clean cloths
to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
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 bump knob on the ground while operating the
trimmer.
NOTICE:
Line release will become more difficult if the
cutting line becomes too short.
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 a diameter that does not exceed 2.4 mm.
Using line other than that specified may cause the line
trimmer to overheat or become damaged
WARNING: Never use metal-reinforced line,
wire, or rope, etc. These can break off and become
dangerous projectiles.
1. Press the release tabs on the spool retainer and pull
the spool retainer out (Fig. K1 & K2).
2. Fold and wind trimmer line onto the spool as Fig.
O1 shown. Then place the line ends through the two
opposite notches in the spool (Fig. O2)
3. Place the spool into its retainer with notches aligned
with retainer eyelets (Fig. O3).
4. Align the retainer slots with the tabs on the spool
base and press the retainer evenly, ensuring that it
snaps into place (Fig.O4).
