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
WARNING:
Never use metal-reinforced line, wire,
or rope, etc. These can break off and become dangerous
projectiles.
NOTICE:
Always use the recommended nylon cutting
line with a diameter that does not exceed 3.0 mm. Using
line other than that specified may cause the line trimmer
to overheat or become damaged.
1. Remove the power plug from the string trimmer.
2. Remove the remaining cutting line, if necessary.
3. Cut 8m long cutting line, Insert the line into the mounting
hole inside the eyelet (Fig. J3). Push and pull the line
from the other side until equal amounts of line appear on
both sides of the spool.
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.
J4).
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 the trimmer head is
tapped, follow the steps below:
1. Press the release tabs on the upper cover and remove
the lower cover assembly by pulling it straight out (Fig.
J5 & J6).
2. Remove the cutting line from the spool .
3. With one hand holding the lower cover assembly, 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. J7); Use your palm to press the
lower cover assembly until the tabs lock with the upper
cover.
4. Follow the instructions in “LINE REPLACEMENT” to reload
the cutting line.
Using with 3-Teeth Blade
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.
