EN
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.
◾
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
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, AS1301, AS1302,
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 out approximately
7m of 2.0mm 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.
Install a pre-wound spool
Press the two release tabs on the spool base and pull the
spool retainer out (Fig. M). Then place a pre-wound spool
into the 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:
Make sure that the tabs on the spool base snap
into place or the spool will come out during operation.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Inspect and maintain the machine
regularly. To ensure safety and reliability, all repairs should
be performed by a qualified service technician.
WARNING:
Battery tools do not have to be plugged
into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in
operating condition. To prevent serious personal injury,
take extra precautions and care when performing
maintenance, service or for changing the cutting
attachment or other attachments.
WARNING:
To prevent serious personal injury,
remove the battery pack from the tool before servicing,
cleaning, changing add-on attachments or removing
material from the unit.
