mounting hole inside the eyelet (Fig. W1). Push and
pull the line from the other side until equal amounts
of line appear on both sides of the spool (Fig. W2).
4. Press, while rotating the lower cover assembly in the
arrow direction, to wind the line onto the spool until
approximately 14cm of line is showing on each side
(Fig. W3).
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.
When the cutting line breaks from the line outlet or the
cutting line is not released when tapping the trimmer
head, follow the steps below:
1. Remove the battery pack.
2. Press the release tabs on the upper cover and
remove the lower cover assembly by pulling it
straight out (Fig. H1 & H2).
3. Remove the cutting line from the spool.
4. With one hand holding the upper cover, use the other
hand to grasp the lower cover assembly and align the
tabs on the upper cover with the holes in the lower
cover
assembly (Fig. X); use your palm to press the lower cover
assembly until the tabs lock with the upper cover.
5. Reload the cutting line.
USING WITH 3-TEETH METAL
WARNING:
To cut wild growth and scrub, lower the
rotating 3-teeth 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-teeth 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.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Before inspecting, cleaning or servicing
the unit, stop the motor, wait for all moving parts to stop,
and remove the battery pack. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in serious personal injury or
property damage.
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a
hazard or cause product damage. To ensure safety and
reliability, all repairs should be performed by a qualified
service technician.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use clean clothes to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
