5. Press the auto feed spool
(10) and pull out the
lines until they reach the
outside edge of the guard.
6. Replace the spool cover
ensuring that it is fully
inserted.
CAUTION.
After changing
the line spool, run the
trimmer under no load for
at least a minute to make sure that the line and the tool
are both operating correctly. Use only the line spool as
recommended by the manufacturer.
Maintenance and cleaning
1. Store the tool, instruction manual and accessories in
a secure, dry place. In this way you will always have
the information ready to hand.
2. Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at
all times.
3. Remove dust and dirt regularly. Cleaning is best done
with a rag.
4. All bearings and bushes are lubricated for life.
5. If the cordset is damaged or worn, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, or service agent or a similarly
qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
6. Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
CAUTION.
Do not use cleaning agents to clean the plastic
parts of the tool. A mild detergent on a damp cloth is
recommended. Water must never come into contact with
the tool.
General inspection
Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight.
They may vibrate loose over time.
Storage
1. Store the trimmer away from direct sunlight.
2. Do not store in a nylon bag as this can encourage the
formation of mould.
3. At the end of the season, give the trimmer an overall
cleaning and a thorough check.
4. Do not leave the trimmer resting on the floor for
extended periods as it could cause the shape of the
guard to alter, posing a safety risk. Hang it off the floor
by the top handgrip.
Power cord maintenance
If the supply cord needs replacing, the task must be carried
out by the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s agent, or an
authorised service centre in order to avoid a safety hazard.
