ASSEMBLY
Prior to use, it is necessary to assemble the safety guard (3) and cutting spool (1) to the lower
shaft (5b) and join the lower shaft (5b) to the upper shaft (5a).
Before assembling the line trimmer, ensure the protective plastic sleeve is removed from the shaft
of the trimmer.
FITTING THE SAFETY GUARD
NOTE.
If the Bump Feed knob is fitted, remove the bump feed knob on the end of the spindle prior to
fitting the guard. To remove the bump feed knob, turn the bump knob (18) in an anti-clockwise
direction.
1. Slide the safety guard (3) down from the top of the lower shaft (5b), in the orientation shown.
Slide it down to the bottom of the shaft (you may need to rotate it to get it past the bend) and
locate it over the bracket at the bottom of he shaft.
2. Place the hex nut into the hex shape recess on the guard. Slide the screw through the side of
the safety guard and tighten with the Allen key provided.
JOINING THE SHAFT
1. Depress the location pin and insert the lower shaft (5b) into the upper shaft (5a). Rotate the
lower shaft until the pin locates positively into the hole in the upper shaft.
2. Tighten the shaft locking knob (20) to secure both shafts in place.
FITTING THE SPOOL
1. Slide the raised section of the spool (1) onto the end of the shaft. Ensure the large hex recess
on the rear of the spool fits fully over the large hex drive on the base of the spindle.
2. With your fingers, push the spool fully into the housing and screw the bump knob (18) onto the
end of the shaft by turning it in a clockwise direction. Screw the bump knob onto the shaft until
it’s tight. Once tight, ensure the bump knob springs back freely when pushed.
NOTE.
Ensure to remove any packing tape from the spool.
3. Once the spool is fully inserted and the lines are fully through the eyelets, pull firmly on each
line to disengage the lines from the spool notches. Ensure the lines are fully clear of the spool
notches and the line is passing through the eyelets directly to the spool.
FITTING THE SECONDARY HANDLE
WARNING.
Before each use, ensure the secondary handle cannot swivel by tightening the secondary
handle locking knob. Over time, the knob may vibrate loose.
1. The line trimmer has been shipped with the secondary handle not fitted. It must be fitted to the
upper shaft before using the trimmer.
