CUTTING TIPS
Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area
being cut; this is the best cutting area.
•
The trimmer will cut better when moved from
left to right across the area to be cut; it is
less effective when moved from right to left.
•
Use the tip of the cutting line to do the cutting;
do not force cutting head into uncut grass.
•
Wire and picket fences cause extra
cutting line wear, even breakage.
Stone and brick walls, curbs, and
wood may wear cutting line rapidly.
•
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood
moldings, siding, and fence posts can
easily be damaged by the cutting line.
•
Attach metal knob to the rubber hole
on the rear handle when in use, unlock
the metal knob when not in use.
ADVANCING CUTTING LINE
The trimmer is equipped with an Bump head.
Bumping the head to try to advance the line.
•
With the trimmer running,
release the switch trigger.
•
Wait two seconds, and press
the switch trigger.
NOTE: The cutting line will extend approximately
2mm with each stop and start of the trigger
until the cutting line reaches the length
of the grass deflector cut-off blade.
•
Resume trimming.
ADVANCING THE CUTTING LINE MANUALLY
•
Remove the battery pack.
•
Push the black button located on the
cutting head while pulling on cutting line
to manually advance the cutting line.
•
After extending new cutter line, always
return the machine to its normal operating
position before switching on.
LINE CUT-OFF BLADE
•
This machine is equipped with a line cut-
off blade (Fig. 6) on the grass deflector.
For best cutting, advance line until it
is trimmed to length by the line cut-off
blade. Advance line whenever you hear
the engine running faster than normal,or
when trimming efficiency diminishes. This
will maintain best performance and keep
line long enough to advance properly.
When servicing, use only
identical replacement parts. Use of
any other parts may create a hazard
or cause product damage.
To avoid serious personal injury, always
remove the battery pack from the tool when
cleaning or performing any maintenance.
