by pulling it straight out (Fig. R1 & R2).
2. Remove the cutting line from the trimmer head and
insert the spring into the slot in the lower cover

to reload the cutting line.
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

shatter at high speed and cause serious injury.

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.
CLEANING THE UNIT
◾
Clean the unit using a damp cloth with a mild
detergent.
◾
Do not use any strong detergents on the plastic
housing or the handle. They can be damaged by
certain aromatic oils, such as pine and lemon, and by
solvents such as kerosene. Moisture can also cause
a shock hazard. Wipe off any moisture with a soft dry
cloth.
◾
Use a small brush or the air discharge of a small
vacuum cleaner brush to clean the air vents on the
rear housing.
