NOTICE:
The trimmer head is parallel to the ground at
a proper cutting distance without the operator bending
over (Fig. P).
For safe and better operation, put on the shoulder strap
across the shoulder as Fig. P. Adjust the shoulder strap in
a comfortable operating position. Hold the line trimmer
with both hands: One hand on the rear handle and the
other hand on the front-assist handle.
There are two ways to release the strap. Take it away
from your shoulder directly (Fig. Q) or press the hook of
the strap and take it apart from the tubing clip fixed on
the shaft (Fig. R).
WARNING:
The shoulder strap is also a quick
release mechanism in hazardous situation. When
an emergency occurs, take it off from your shoulder
immediately, no matter what way the strap is in.
STARTING/STOPPING THE LINE TRIMMER (Fig. S)
To Start
Press down the lock-off lever then depress the trigger.
Different pressure on the trigger results in variable rotat-
ing speed of the cutting line. More pressure, higher speed.
To Stop
Release the lock-off lever and the trigger.
NOTICE:
The motor runs only when the lock-off lever and
trigger are both pressed.
WARNING:
Always remove the battery pack from
the line trimmer during work breaks and after finishing
work.
USING THE LINE TRIMMER
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, wear
goggles or safety glasses at all times when operating
this unit. Wear a face mask or dust mask in dusty
locations.
Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all ob-
jects, such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or line, that
can be thrown or become entangled in the cutting attach-
ment. 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.
Before each use, check for damage/worn parts
Check the bump head, guard and front-assist handle
and replace the parts that are cracked, warped, bent, or
damaged in any away.
56 VOLT LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS LINE TRIMMER — ST1500E-F
The line-cutting blade on the edge of the guard can dull
over time. It is recommended that you periodically sharp-
en it with a file or replace it with a new blade.
WARNING:
Always wear gloves when mounting the
guard or servicing the blade. Take care of the blade on
the guard and protect your hand from cutting.
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 spool retainer on the ground while operating
the trimmer (Fig. T).
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 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. Remove the battery pack.
2. Remove the remaining cutting line, if necessary.
Simply pull it out by hand.
3. Rotate the spool retainer in the arrow direction,
as necessary, to align the LOAD line on the spool
retainer with the eyelets in the spool base (Fig. U).
