Depress the trigger to start.
Different pressure on the trigger results in variable
rotating speed of the cutting line. If necessary, adjust the
speed lock knob to lock the speed.
NOTICE:
The speed lock knob can also be preset to limit
the trigger travel.
To Stop
Release 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.
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 sharpen or replacing 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.

56 VOLT LITHIUM-ION BRUSHLESS BIKE HANDLE LINE TRIMMER — BC1500E
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 bump 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 (Fig. L).
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 standard nylon cutting line with
diameter no more than Ø2.4 mm.
WARNING: Never use metal-reinforced line, wire,
rope, etc. These can break off and become dangerous
projectiles.
There are two methods to replace the cutting line:
1. Wind the spool with new line.
2. Install a pre-wound spool (AS1300, if necessary,
available in dealer).
Wind the spool with new line
Press the two release tabs on the spool base and pull
the spool retainer out (Fig. M). Take approximately 5m
of 2.4mm diameter cutting line. Fold and wind it onto
the spool as Fig. N & O shown. Then place the line ends
through the two opposite notches in the spool (Fig. P) and
place the spool into its retainer with notches aligned with
retainer eyelets (Fig. R). Lastly, align the retainer slots with
the tabs on the spool base and press the retainer evenly
down, ensuring that it snaps into place (Fig. Q).
NOTICE: Always clean the spool retainer, spool and spool
base before reassembling the trimmer head. Check the
spool retainer, spool and spool base for wear. If necessary,
replace the wear parts.
NOTICE:
Failure to wind the line in the direction indicated
will cause the trimmer head to operate incorrectly.
