Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all
EN
objects, such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or line,
that can be thrown or become entangled in the cutting
attachment. Clear the area of children, bystanders,
and pets. At a minimum, keep all children, bystanders
and pets at least 15m away; there still may be risk to
bystanders from thrown objects. Bystanders should be
encouraged to wear eye protection. If you are approached,
stop the motor and cutting attachment immediately.
Before each use, check for damage/worn parts
Check the bump head, guard and front-assist handle
and replace the parts that are cracked, warped, bent, or
damaged in any away.
The line-cutting blade on the edge of the guard can
dull over time. It is recommended that you periodically
sharpen it with a file or replace it with a new blade.
WARNING:
Always wear gloves when mounting the
guard or servicing the blade. Take care of the blade on
the guard and protect your hand from cutting.
After each use, clean the trimmer.
CAUTION:
Obstructions in the vents will prevent
the air from flowing into the motor housing and result in
overheating or damaged of the motor.
◾
Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool.
Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse
any part of the tool into a liquid.
◾
Keep air vents in the motor housing from debris at all
times.
WARNING:
Never use water for cleaning your
trimmer. Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic
parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from
various types of commercial solvents. Use clean cloths
to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
ADJUSTING CUTTING LINE LENGTH
The trimmer head allows the operator to release more
cutting line without stopping the motor. As line becomes
frayed or worn, additional line can be released by lightly
tapping the trimmer head on the ground while operating
the trimmer (Fig. T).
NOTICE:
Line release will become more difficult as the
cutting line becomes shorter.
WARNING:
Do not remove or alter the line cutting
blade assembly. Excessive line length will cause the motor
to overheat and may result in serious personal injury.
