Adjusting cutting line length (Fig. L)
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. Cut 6 m long cutting line, insert the line into the
mounting hole inside the eyelet (Fig. M1). Push and
pull the line from the other side until equal amounts
of line appear on both sides of the spool.
3. Press, while rotating the lower cover assembly in the
arrow direction, to wind the line onto the spool until
approximately 15 cm of line is showing on each side
(Fig. M2).
4. 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. N1).
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. N2); 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.
Tips for best trimming results
◾
The correct angle for the cutting attachment is parallel
to the ground.
◾
Do not force the trimmer. Allow the very tip of the line
to do the cutting (especially along walls). Cutting with
more than the tip will reduce cutting efficiency and
may overload the motor.
◾
The cutting height is determined by the distance of the
cutting line from the lawn surface.
◾
Grass over 8 inches (20 cm) should be cut by working
from top to the bottom in small increments to avoid
premature line wear or motor drag.
◾
Slowly move the trimmer into and out of the area
being cut, maintaining the cutting head position at the
desired cutting height. This movement can be either
a forward-backward motion or a side-to-side motion.
Cutting shorter lengths produces best results.
◾
Avoid trimming when grass and weeds are wet.
◾
Wire and picket fences can cause extra string wear or
breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may
wear strings rapidly.
◾
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings,
siding, and fence posts can easily be damaged by the
strings.
USING WITH BRUSH CUTTER HEAD
WARNING:
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:
ground, the greater the risk of injury from cuttings being
thrown sideways.
WARNING:
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:
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:
