English (Original Instructions)
■
Wire and picket fences cause extra line wear, even
breakage.
■
Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may wear line
rapidly.
■
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood mouldings,
siding, and fence posts can easily be damaged by the
string.
ADVANCING THE LINE
See Fig. 7
For Reel Easy
TM
String Head Only
Line advance is controlled by tapping the string head on
grass while running engine at full throttle.
■
Run engine at full throttle.
■
Tap the knob on ground to advance string. The string
advances each time the knob is tapped.
Do not hold
the knob on the ground.
NOTE:
The line trimming cut-off blade on the grass
deflector will cut the line to the correct length.
NOTE:
If the string is worn too short you may not be able
to advance the string by tapping it on the ground. If so,
stop the engine, and manually advance the string.
TO ADVANCE THE CUTTING LINE MANUALLY:
■
Stop the engine.
■
Push the knob in while pulling on string(s) to manually
advance the line.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Use only original manufacturer's replacement
parts, accessories, and attachments. Failure
to do so can cause possible injury, poor
performance and may void your warranty.
■
Always stop the engine and allow it cool before making
any maintenance.
■
You may make adjustments and repairs described
here. For other repairs, contact the authorised service
agent.
■
Consequences of improper maintenance may
include excess carbon deposits resulting in loss of
performance and discharge of black lubricant residue
dripping from the silencer.
■
For replacement line, use only nylon filament line of
the diameter described in the specification table of this
manual.
■
After extending the new cutter line, always return the
product to its normal operation position before starting.
■
The cutting attachment must not work in idle mode. If
this requirement is not satisfied, the clutch has to be
adjusted or the product needs an urgent maintenance
by a qualified technician.
■
After each use, clean the product with a soft dry cloth.
■
Check all nuts, bolts, and screws at frequent intervals
for proper tightness to ensure the product is in safe
working condition. Any part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced by an authorised service
centre.

CLEANING THE EXHAUST PORT AND SILENCER
Depending on the type of fuel used, the type and amount
of lubricant used, and/or your operating conditions, the
exhaust port and silencer may become blocked with
carbon deposits. If you notice a power loss with your petrol
powered tool, a qualified service technician will need to
remove these deposits to restore performance.
SPARK ARRESTOR
See Fig. 12
The spark arrestor must be cleaned or replaced every
25 hours to ensure proper performance of
your product.
■
Stop the engine.
■
Locate the spark arrestor through the hole on the
muffler exit hole.
