8. When there is approximately 150mm of line left, lock one of the lines into one of the line loca
-
tion notches in the spool head and the other into the opposing notch.
9. With the spring fitted onto the shaft of the spool holder insert the spool back into
the holder. As you insert the spool, thread the lines through the eyelets and pull
firmly to disengage from the notch in the spool.
NOTE.
When inserting the spool into the housing, the spool may need to be rotated
slightly so as to locate into the housing. Before the spool is fully inserted into the hous-
ing, ensure the lines are free of the notches.
10. 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 di-
rectly to the spool.
11. To install the spool, line and housing, refer to ‘Fitting the spool’ section of this
manual.
NOTE.
On start up test the operation of the bump feed to ensure the line feeds correctly.
CAUTION.
After changing the line spool, run the petrol line trimmer under no load for at least a
minute to make sure that the line and the tool are both operating correctly. Use only the line spool as
recommended by the manufacturer.
WARNING.
Never use steel threads and/or three teeth blade other than those provided by the manu-
facturer. Always use tools in perfect condition, free of damage.
WARNING.
In high-speed rotation, parts could be projected at very high speed and could involve seri-
ous injury and damages to persons and property.
REPLACEMENT OF THE CUTTING LINE
1. Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug.
2. Put the petrol line trimmer on the floor in a way that the cutting line and spool assembly (1) is
facing up.
3. Open the cutting line and spool assembly (1) by holding the spool housing firmly while rotating
the bump knob anti-clockwise.
4. Remove the bump knob completely and remove the spool from the spool shaft. Discard any
short lengths of remaining cutting line.
5. Take a 4 metre length of Ø2mm line and halve it.
6. Place the half way mark of the line into the notch in the spool.
7. Wrap the line around the inside of the spool in an anti clockwise direction (fol
-
lowing the directional arrows on the spool). Ensure the line is wrapped tightly and
neatly.
MAINTENANCE
AIR FILTER
Accumulated dust in the air filter will reduce engine efficiency. Increase fuel consumption and
allow abrasive particles to pass into the engine. Remove the air filter as often as necessary to
maintain a clean condition.
• Remove filter cover (12) by pressing in the sides and lifting it off.
• Light surface dust can
readily be removed by tapping the filter.
• Heavy deposits should be washed out in suitable detergent.
• Squeeze out the remaining water an allow the filter
to completely dry.
• Add a drop of thin oil to the filter and replace it.
