danger of damaging other items due to objects (for
example stones) being thrown out.
WARNING
Do not remove any objects from
footpaths, etc. using the trimmer. The trimmer is a
powerful tool and can throw small stones and other
objects a distance of 15 meters or more, causing
injuries and damage to cars, houses and windows.
EXTENDING THE CUTTING LINE
WARNING
Do not use any kind of metal wire or
metal wire encased in plastic in the cutting head. This
may cause serious injuries to the user.
To extend the cutting line run the motor at full speed
and tap (“BUMP”) the cutting head on the ground.
This will automatically extend the line. The blade on
the safety shield will cut the line to the appropriate
length.
REPLACING LINE
1.
Unclip the housing from the line trimmer and
remove spool from the spindle.
2.
Remove all remaining cutting line from the
spool.
3.
Cut 4m of line. Fold in half and attach the mid-
dle of the line into the grove/slot located in the
center of the spool.
4. Wind both sides of the line on to the
spool with tension in the same direction
as shown on the inside of the spool. (See
above right image).
5. Continue to wind the line until you have 150mm
of line left on each end. Note: It is helpful to
clip and fasten the line on opposite
ends of the spool to keep the line from
unraveling during the next step.
6. Put the spool into housing. Unclip the line
from the spool and place line through the open
eyelet on opposite ends of the housing. Ensure
the line has not tangled.
