REFILLING TRIMMING LINE
1. For replacement line, use a diameter of 2 -2.5mm. Avoid using a larger line as it may cut
down the trimming
performance.
WARNING
For safety reasons, do not use metal reinforced line.
2. Pinch the slotted area on the both sides of the spool
housing to unhook the bottom cap.
3. Take out the spool and pull off the old line. Put one end of
new line through the spool holes and pull it until the length is
equal between each part of the line.
4. Wind up the line in the correct direction as indicated on the
spool.
5.
Hook each end of the line, in the slot, on the edge of the
spool, and then put the ends
through the eyelets on the
housing. Make sure that the spring and the washers are in
place.
6.
While holding the spool against the housing, pull the line
ends to release them from the
slot.
7.
Line up the slot on the bottom cap with the hook on the
housing; press the cap against
the housing until it clicks.
GEAR CASE
· The reduction gears are lubricated by multipurpose, lithium-based grease in the gear
case. Supply new grease every 25
hours of use or more often depending on the job
condition.
· Remove the cutter holders before installing new grease to
arrange for old grease to exit.

BLADES
· When refilling the tank or resting, it is often a good idea to
use the time to oil the cutting
blades.
· If a gap exists between the upper and lower blades, follow
the procedure below to
adjust them so that they fit more
closely together.
