SPEED ADJUSTMENT FUNCTION (Fig. J)
The line trimmer has two speed setting. Press the
2-speed switch to change cutting speed between the low
and high.
The speed indicator will display the active speed status:
one light for low speed and two lights for high speed. The
low speed range provides better control of the trimmer
and longer operating time per charge.

USING THE LINE TRIMMER
Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all
objects, such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or lien
that can be thrown or become entangled in the cutting
attachment. Clear the area of children, bystanders,
and pets. At a minimum, keep all children, bystanders
and pets at least 15 m 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 damaged/worn parts
Check the trimmer head, guard, shoulder strap, shoulder
strap loop, and front handle. Replace any parts that are
cracked, warped, bent, or damaged in any way.
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 or
replacing the guard or when sharpening or replacing
the line-cutting blade. Note the location of the blade
on the guard and protect your hands from injury.
After each use, clean the trimmer.
ADJUSTING THE CUTTING LINE LENGTH
The Line-IQ feeding trimmer head is equipped with
advanced technology.
If either end of the cutting line wears less than 18 cm
during trimming, the trimmer head will release cutting line
automatically, and the extra part of the cutting line will be
cut off by the line-cutting blade (Fig. K).
NOTICE:
No need to tap the trimmer head to release
the cutting line. If you feel a slight tremor of the
trimmer head when trimming the grass, it is the
cutting line being automatically released.
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 of 2.4 mm.
Using line other than that specified may cause the tool to
overheat or become damaged.
WARNING:
Never use metal-reinforced line,
wire, or rope, etc. These can break off and become
dangerous projectiles.
The line trimmer is equipped with an advanced
POWERLOAD
TM system. The cutting line can be
wound onto the spool simply by pressing a single
button. Loading a full spool can usually be completed
in 12 seconds.
Avoid repeated operation of the
winding system in rapid succession to reduce the
possibility of motor damage.
1. Remove the battery pack.
2. Cut one piece of cutting line 4 m long.
3. Insert the line into the eyelet and push the line until
the end of the line comes out of the opposite eyelet
(Fig. L1).

NOTICE: It is not necessary to align the eyelets in
order to insert the cutting line. If the line cannot be
inserted into the eyelet, mount the battery pack onto
the trimmer, then press the POWERLOAD button
briefly to reset the winding mechanism.
4. Remove the battery pack if it has been mounted onto
the trimmer in step 3.
