If waste gets stuck and causes blockages around the air intake cooling vent (1), it may cause the engine to
overheat and that in turn may cause mechanical failure.
BRUSHCUTTER
GEAR HEAD LUBRICATION
The gearhead is filled with multi-purpose lithium grease. Regularly check the quantity and fill where necessary.
Remove the grease-nipple from the gearhead and fill appropriately. Refit when complete.
BLADE SHARPENING
Never attempt to sharpen the blade. It is reversible, so should be turned over when blunt. The blade must
remain balanced; an unbalanced blade will cause excessive vibration through the machine. Always check for
any damage before each use and replace a damaged blade immediately, with an approved replacement part.
LINE TRIMMER
REFILLING THE TRIMMER LINE
1.
Remove the spool retaining nut by turning it anti-clockwise. Take care not to lose the spring. Once the
spool retaining nut has been removed, take the spool holder from the spool housing.
2.
Remove any old trimmer line. Locate the line retaining hole. Cut two equal 3m lengths of trimmer line
(2.4mm diameter) pieces. Take the end of one and thread approximately 4mm through the line retaining
hole. Now wrap the line around the retaining hole and around the spool holder, following the arrow on
the moulding.
3.
Repeat the process and fill the other side of the spool. Ensure you wrap the trimmer line in the same
direction as the first side. This will allow the line to eject when using the bump feed
system.
