Maintenance and storage
Replace the spool
WARNING!
Before repla
cing the spool, always switch off the machine and take off the battery
pack!
RISK OF INJURY!
Cutting elements continue to rotate after the motor is switched off. Do
not try to stop the cutting device (nylon blade) with your hands. Always let it come to a stop
by itself.
Remove the spool assembly from the trimmer. To do so, hold the outer ribbed part of the
assembly with one hand, while pushing down and turning the spool head with the other to
unlock it. The spool carrier and spool will now disassemble easily.
Note:
There is a spring inside the head that could easily be lost. Ensure that it is put in a
safe place.
Choose either Option 1 or Option 2 below for spool or line replacement.
Option 1: Replacing the spool
Insert the line from the replacement spool through the eyelet in the spool carrier and slide
the spool into it.
Making sure to insert the spring, assemble the spool and spool carrier back onto the
trimmer. To do so, push the head on and turn it clockwise until it locks.
To test if the line is advancing properly, push the button with your thumbs while pulling the
line with your fingers. It should advance freely.
Option 2: Replacing the line
WARNING!
Please use 1.2mm or 1.4mm diameter line only.
Line for your trimmer is available at extra cost from your local store or the customer support
service. Replace the line, as follows:
Insert one end of the line into the hole in the spool, about 3mm.
Wind the line tight and evenly onto the spool in the direction of the arrow until the line builds up
to the notches in the spool rim. Do not overfill the spool. The spool holds about 6.5m of line.
Cleaning and storage
After use, remove the battery pack from the trimmer.
When not in use, store the machine in a dry, safe place, out of the reach of children.
Use only manufacturer recommended replacement parts and accessories.
To clean the tool, remove the battery pack and use a mild soap solution and a damp cloth to
clean it. Do not immerse the tool in water or squirt it with a hose. Do not allow any liquid to
get inside it. Do not clean with a pressure washer.
Troubleshooting
Although your new cordless grass trimmer is really easy to operate, if you do experience
problems, check the following:
Tool runs slowly
Check that the spool housing can rotate freely. Carefully clean it if necessary.
Check that the cutting line does not protrude more than 9cm from the spool housing. If it
does, cut it off so that it just reaches the line trimming blade.
If the trimmer is not cutting properly
Check the condition of the cutting head if the cutting line is too short or the cutting head is
damaged.
Note:
Do not use a damaged cutting head.
If the trimmer will not operate
Check the battery pack assembly.
Charge the battery: operation of the grass trimmer is dependent upon sufficient charge in the
battery pack.
If the battery will not charge
Check to see if the battery is properly inserted into the charger base, and make sure the
indicator light is on. If not, check the power supply to the socket used for the charger plug.
If a fault is suspected, return the trimmer to an authorised dealer for repair.
