Adjusting cutting line length (Fig. J)
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 head 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 2.7 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. Remove the battery pack from the line trimmer.
2. Remove the remaining cutting line, if necessary.
3. Cut 6 m long cutting line, insert the line into the
mounting hole inside the eyelet (Fig. K1). Push and
pull the line from the other side until equal amounts
of line appear on both sides of the spool.
4. Press, while rotating the lower cover assembly in the
arrow direction, to wind the line onto the spool until
approximately 16 cm of line is showing on each side
(Fig. K2).
5. Push the lower cover assembly down while pulling on
the lines to manually advance the line and to check
for proper assembly of the trimmer head.
Reloading the cutting line
When the cutting line breaks from the line outlet or the
cutting line is not released when the trimmer head is
tapped, follow the below steps:
1. Press the release tabs on the upper cover and
remove the lower cover assembly by pulling it
straight out (Fig. L1).
2. Remove the cutting line from the spool.
3. With one hand holding the trimmer, use another hand
to grasp the lower cover assembly and align the tabs
on the upper cover with the slots in the lower cover
assembly (Fig. L2); Press the lower cover assembly
until it snaps into place with a distinct click sound.

4. Follow the instructions in "Line replacement" to
reload the cutting line.
USING WITH BRUSH CUTTER HEAD
WARNING:
To cut wild growth and scrub, lower the
rotating 3-tooth blade down onto the growth to achieve a
chopping effect. Use the brush cutter like a scythe (sweep
it to the right and left) at ground level. Do not use the
cutting unit above waist height.
WARNING:
The higher the cutting unit is off the
ground, the greater the risk of injury from cuttings being
thrown sideways.
WARNING:
When cutting young stands or other
woody materials up to 2cm in diameter, use the left side of
the blade to avoid blade thrust situations. Do not attempt
to cut woody material with a larger diameter, since the
blade may catch or jerk the brush cutter forward. This
may cause damage to the blade or the brush cutter or loss
of control of the brush cutter, resulting personal injury.
WARNING:
Improper use of a blade may cause it to
crack, chip, or shatter. Thrown parts may seriously injure
the operator or bystander. To reduce the risk of personal
injury, it is essential to take the following precautions:
◾
Avoid contact with hard or solid foreign objects such as
stones, rocks or pieces of metal.
◾
Never cut wood or shrubs with a stem diameter of
more than 2cm.
◾
Inspect the blade at a regular short interval for signs
of damage. Do not continue working with a damaged
blade.
◾
Re-sharpen the blade regularly (when it has dulled
noticeably) and have it balanced if necessary
(performed by a qualified service technician).
Blade Thrust
Exercise extreme caution when using the 3-tooth blade
with this unit. Blade thrust is the reaction that may occur
when the spinning blade contacts anything it cannot cut.
This contact may cause the blade to stop for an instant
and suddenly "thrust" the unit away from the object that
was hit. This reaction can be violent enough to cause the
operator to lose control of the unit. Blade thrust can occur
without warning if the blade snags, stalls, or binds. This is
more likely to occur in areas where it is difficult to see the
material being cut.For cutting ease and safety, approach
the weeds being cut with the brush cutter from the right
to the left. In the event an unexpected object or woody
stock is encountered, this practice could minimize the
blade thrust reaction.
