CUTTING TIPS
See Figures 7- 8.
■
Avoid hot surfaces by always keeping the tool away from your
body. (Proper operating position shown in figure 8.)
■
Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the
best cutting area.
■
The curved shaft trimmer cuts when passing the unit from
left to right. The straight shaft trimmer cuts when passing
the unit from right to left. This will avoid throwing debris at
the operator. Avoid cutting in the dangerous area shown in
illustration (item 30).
■
Use the tip of line to do the cutting; do not force line trimmer
head into uncut grass.
■
Wire and picket fences cause extra line wear, even breakage.
Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may wear line rapidly.
■
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding, and
fence posts can easily be damaged by the line.
GRASS DEFLECTOR LINE TRIMMING CUT-OFF BLADE
See Figure 9.
The trimmer is equipped with a line trimming cut-off blade on the
grass deflector. For best cutting, advance line until it is trimmed to
length by the cut-off blade. Advance the line whenever you hear
the engine running faster than normal, or when trimming efficiency
diminishes. This will maintain best performance and keep the line
long enough to advance properly.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product
damage.
WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields during tool operation. If operation is dusty, also
wear a dust mask.
WARNING:
Before inspecting, cleaning, or servicing the machine,
shut off engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and
ensure the cut off switch remains in the off position.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious
personal injury or property damage.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are
susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents
and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt,
dust, lubricant, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, petrol, petroleum-
based products, penetrating lubricants, etc., come in
contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage,
weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious
personal injury.
You can often make adjustments and repairs described here. For
other repairs, have the trimmer serviced by an authorised service
dealer.
INSTALLING REEL EASY™ LINE TRIMMER HEAD

■
Stop the engine and ensure the cut off switch remains in the
off position.
■
Remove currently installed line trimmer head.
■
Open the Reel Easy™ line trimmer head by depressing the
latches on each side. The contents of the line trimmer head
are spring loaded, so keep your other hand over the line
trimmer head cover while depressing the latches.
■
Remove the line trimmer head cover, knob, and spool and set
aside.
■
Place the line trimmer head on the drive shaft. Make sure the
line trimmer head is fully seated.
■
Install the hex bolt into the opening on the drive shaft and
secure using the hex-shaped opening in the knob to tighten.
NOTE:
Only use the knob to tighten the bolt. The use of
other tools may allow over tightening of the bolt, which could
damage the line trimmer head.
■
If removed, replace the spring into the line trimmer head and
push down to seat.
■
Reinstall the spool. For the RLT430CES curved line trimmer
attachment, the spool should be placed so “This side out
for curved shaft” is visible. If you are using a straight shaft
attachment with the Reel Easy™ cutting head the spool
should be placed so “This side out for straight shaft” is visible.
■
Replace the knob in the spool.
■
Replace the line trimmer head cover, aligning latches with
openings in the line trimmer head. Press cover and line
trimmer head together until both latches snap into openings
securely.
