ROTATION’’, then unlock the Pivot Head
Locking Knob, and using adequate force, pull
the trimmer head into the desired position.
Make sure to adjust the trimmer head angle
to be in the lowest horizontal setting. Finally,
lock the Pivot Head Locking Knob (See Fig H3)
and position the wheels on the ground for the
edging mode. While edging, keep the Flower
Guard/Edge Guide aligned with the sidewalk
edge, this will assist to edge in a straight path.
Only the tip of the line will make contact with
area being worked on. Do not force the line.
The edging wheels help protect the unit and
keep the unit from contacting the ground. Take
extra caution while edging, as objects can be
thrown from the trimmer line.
AuTOmATIC LINE FEED SySTEm
When initially switching on the trimmer, a
small length of line is fed out. Each time the
tool is started from rest it will advance about
6.35mm of trimmer line.
A ‘clattering’ noise will be heard when the
lines hit the Line Cutter. DO NOT BE ALARMED
this is quite normal. After about 5 seconds
the line will be cut to the correct length and
the noise will reduce as the motor gains full
speed.
If the noise of the line being cut can’t be
heard, more line will need to be fed out.
To feed more line, it is first necessary to allow
the trimmer to stop completely; it must come
to a complete rest, then restart, allowing the
motor to reach full speed.
Repeat above until you hear the line hitting
against the Line Cutter.
TO mANuALLy FEED THE LINE (See Fig
K1)
Turn off the trimmer and remove the battery.
If required, line can be fed out manually.
To operate, press and release manual Line
Feed Button (17), while gently pulling out the
line until it is long enough to reach the Line
Cutter.
If the line extends past the Line Cutter, too
much line has been fed out.
If too much line is fed out, remove the Spool
Cap and turn Spool counter-clockwise until the
line is at the desired length.
TO REmOVE THE SPOOL CAP COVER
(See Fig K2)
Press and hold in the two Cap Release Latches
(19) (See Fig K2).
Pull the Spool Cap Cover (18) away from the
Cutting Head (21). Keep the Spool Cap Cover
and the inside of the Cutting Head clean from
debris. To replace the Spool Cap Cover, press
it firmly onto the Spool Holder. Ensure that
it is correctly connected by trying to remove
it without depressing the two Cap Release
Latches.
REPLACE THE TRImmER LINE AND
SPOOL (See Fig K3).
Turn off the trimmer and remove the battery.
Remove Spool Cap Cover.
Remove the old Spool from Spool Holder.
Clear any broken line or cutting debris from
the spool area. Pull the line from the new
replacement Spool through the eyelet of the
Spool Holder. Place new Spool into the holder
with the cut out areas of the Spool facing
inward or down. When installed into the Spool
Holder, the smooth side of the Spool should
be visible.
Release line from cleat on the Spool.
Refit the Spool Cap Cover.
TO mANuALLy wIND LINE (See Fig L1-
L4)
Take approximately 3m of line. Insert 15mm
of line into the Spool holes and wind line in
the direction of the arrows on the top of the
Spool.
Leave approximately 100mm of line unwound
and place into the cleat.
Ensure that the line is neatly coiled on
the Spool. Failure to do so will impair the
efficiency of the automatic line feed.
Then fit the Spool as described above in
“Rep
lace the trimmer line and Spool”.
