USING THE LINE TRIMMER
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, wear
goggles or safety glasses at all times when operating
this unit. Wear a face mask or dust mask in dusty
locations.
Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all
objects, such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or line,
that can be thrown or become entangled in the cutting
attachment. Clear the area of children, bystanders,
and pets. At a minimum, keep all children, bystanders
and pets at least 15m away; there still may be risk to
bystanders from thrown objects. Bystanders should be
encouraged to wear eye protection. If you are approached,
stop the motor and cutting attachment immediately.
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
sharpen it with a file or replace it with a new blade.
WARNING:
Always wear gloves when mounting the
guard or servicing 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.
