Replacing the line cutting line
1. Press on the sides of the spool cover, near the
tabs in order to remove the top half of the spool
housing.
2. Take the spool plate out of the line spool
housing and remove any remaining cutting line.
3. Form each of the 2 cutting lines into a hook
and hang into the eyelet in the spool plate. The
2 lines must be hung in so that they are offset
by 180°.
4. Wind the line onto the spool counter-clockwise
and under tension. The spool splitter will
separate the two halves of the nylon line.
5. Hook the last 15cm of the two ends of the line
onto the opposite lying line holders of the spool
plate.
6. Thread the two ends of the line through the
metal eyelets in the line spool housing.
7. Press the spool plate into the line spool
housing and reassemble the two halves.
8. Pull the two line ends sharply to release them
from the line holders in the line spool.
9. Cut the excess line to a length of around 13cm. This will reduce the
load on the engine when starting and warming up.
10. Refit the line spool.

6. CUTTING METHODS
Trimming/mowing
Swing the trimmer from side to side as
you walk forward. Always keep the line
spool parallel to the ground. Check the
site and decide what cutting height you
require. Guide and hold the line spool
at the required height to ensure that
you cut evenly.
Low trimming and mowing
For mowing, you want to cut all the
vegetation down to the ground. To do this,
set the line spool at an angle of 30° to
the right. Place the handle in the required
position. Remember the increased risk of
injury to the user, watchers and animals and
the danger of damaging other items due to
objects (for example stones) being thrown
out. Always cut away from yourself. Never
draw the trimmer towards yourself.
Cutting along fences/foundations/trees
When cutting approach wire mesh fences, natural stone walls and
foundations slowly so that you can cut close to them without striking
the obstacle with the line. If, for example, the line strikes stones, stone
walls or foundations, it will wear or fray.
If the line strikes wire fencing it will break.
When trimming around tree trunks, approach slowly so that the line
does not strike the bark. Approach grass or weeds with the tip of the
line and tilt the line spool forwards slightly.
Jamming
If the cutting blade jams as a result of attempting to cut vegetation that
is too dense, switch off the engine immediately. Remove the grass and
scrub from the trimmer before you restart it.
Preventing recoil
When you work with the blade there is
a risk of recoil if it strikes solid objects
such as tree trunks, branches, tree
stumps, stones or the like. This will
throw the trimmer backwards in the
direction opposite to the rotation of the
tool. This can cause you to lose control
of the trimmer. Do not use the blade
near fences, metal posts, boundary
stones or foundations.
For cutting dense stalks, position it as
shown to prevent recoil.
WARNING!
BEFORE CLEANING YOUR TRIMMER/
CUTTER OR CARRYING OUT ANY MAINTENANCE
PROCEDURE, MAKE SURE THAT THE ENGINE IS OFF
AND IS COOL. DISCONNECT THE SPARK PLUG TO
PREVENT ACCIDENTAL STARTING
WARNING!
TAKE EXTREME CARE DURING MOWING
WORK. WHEN DOING SUCH WORK KEEP A
DISTANCE OF 30 METERS BETWEEN YOURSELF AND
OTHER PEOPLE OR ANIMALS.
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.
