ADJUSTING CUTTING LINE LENGTH
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 spool retainer on the ground while operating
the trimmer (Fig. O).
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
NOTICE:
Always use the recommended nylon cutting
line with a diameter that does not exceed 2.4 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.
The line trimmer is equipped with an advanced auto-line
winding 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 succes-
sion to reduce the possibility of motor damage.
1. Remove the battery pack.
2. Remove the remaining cutting line, if necessary.
Simply pull it out by hand.
3. Cut one piece of cutting line (4m) long. Insert the line
into the eyelet (Fig. P) and push the line until the end
of the line comes out of the opposite eyelet.

4. Remove the battery if it has been mounted onto the
line trimmer in previous step.
5. Pull the line from the other side until equal lengths
of the line appear on both sides of the trimmer head
(Fig. Q).
6. Install the battery pack onto the string trimmer.
Press and hold the line-loading button to start the
line-winding motor. The line will be wound into the
trimmer head continuously (Fig. R).
7. Watch the remaining line length carefully. Prepare to
release the button as soon as approximately 18cm
of line are left on each side. Briefly press the line-
loading button to adjust the length until 14cm of the
line is showing on each side.
8. Push down on the trimmer head while pulling on the
lines to manually advance the line in order to check
for proper assembly of the cutting line.
NOTICE:
In case the line is pulled into the trimmer head
by accident, open the head and pull the cutting line
out from the spool. Follow the section “RELOAD THE
CUTTING LINE” in this manual to reload the line.
RELOAD 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 steps below to remove the remaining
cutting line and reload the line.
1. Press the two release tabs on the trimmer head and
remove the trimmer head by pulling it straight out
(Fig. S-1 & S-2).
2. Remove the cutting line from the trimmer head and
insert the spring into the slot in the lower cover
assembly (Fig. T).
3. With one hand holding the trimmer, use another hand
to grasp the lower cover assembly and align the
slots in the lower cover assembly with the release
tabs. Press the lower cover assembly until it snaps
into place, at which time you will hear a distinct click
sound (Fig. U).

TRIMMER HEAD REPLACEMENT
WARNING:
If the head loosens after it is fixed in
position, replace it immediately. Never use a trimmer with
a loose cutting attachment. Replace a cracked, damaged
or worn out cutting head immediately, even if damage
is limited to superficial cracks. Such attachments may
shatter at high speed and cause serious injury.
