• Carbon brushes should be checked periodically.
• When one or both carbon brushes show signs of wear
go to a Authorized Service center to
have both carbon brushes replaced. When replaced, see if
the new carbon brushes move freely in the carbon brush
housing. Ask to turn on the tool during five minutes to
make the contact in the carbon brushes and the
commuter even.
• Use only original spare carbon
brushes, designed specifically with the right strength and
electric resistance for each type of motor. Carbon brushes
with different specifications may damage the motor.
• When replacing carbon brushes, always change both.

Troubleshooting
Cleaning
• Cleaning after each use will keep the trimmer in the
best of working conditions and will lengthen its useful
life.
• To clean use a cloth dampened with hot water and a
soft brush.
• After each use disassemble all the tool parts. Remove
all grass particles and ground stuck in it. Use special care
with the cutting string spool and its slots, also the guard.
• Clean thoroughly the trimmer ventilation slots so there
is no grass or dirt obstructing.
Carbon brush replacement
• All repairs and service should be made only in a
Certified Service Center.
Service
• After the tool has reached its full duty life all discarded
material such as joints, damaged parts or the tool itself
shall not be handled as garbage. Take to a recycling
center to be adequately disposed off and taking care of all
the environmental standards.
Environment protection
Storage
• To prevent rust clean the tool before storing.
• Store the trimmer in a dry temperate place away from
sunlight (preferably in a dark place) and away from
children reach.
• Prevent from storing the trimmer in plastic bags.
Otherwise the humidity generated could damage it.
• Do not store the trimmer with the guard against the
floor. It could get distorted. The trimmer shall be stored
hanging from the upper handle preventing the guard to
touch the floor.
• The string has stuck itself.
• There is not enough string in the spool.
• The string is tangled in the spool.
• The string has not been liberated from the
spool grooves.
• The extension cable is not well connected.
• The power circuit breaker blew.
• You are cutting grass too high from the ground
level on.
The cutting string is
not advancing when
release and press the
switch trigger.
The motor will not
start.
Grass gets tangled
around the lower
spindle and the
cutting head.
• Lubricate the cutting head with a
aerosol silicon lubricant.
• Set new string in the spool (see page 7).
• Turn off the trimmer and wind again the string
onto the spool (see page 7).
• Turn off the trimmer and pull both cutting
strings ends to release them.
• Connect the extension cable correctly.
• Check the power circuit breaker .
