USING THE STRING TRIMMER
WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, wear
goggles or safety glasses at all times when operating this
unit. Wear a face mask or dust mask in dusty locations.
Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all
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 sharpen or replacing the blade. Take care of the
blade on the guard and protect your hand from cutting.
After each use, clean the trimmer.
CAUTION:

Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse
any part of the tool into a liquid.

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 bump 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 bump knob on the ground while operating the
trimmer (Fig. R).
NOTICE:
cutting line becomes shorter.
WARNING:

to overheat and may result in serious personal injury.

rope, etc. These can break off and become dangerous
projectiles.
There are two methods to replace the cutting line:
1. Wind the spool with new line.
2. Install a pre-wound spool (AS1300, if necessary,
available in dealer).
Wind the spool with new line
Press the two release tabs on the spool base and pull
the spool retainer out (Fig. S). Take approximately 5m
of 2.4mm diameter cutting line. Fold and wind it onto
the spool as Fig. T & U shown. Then place the line ends
through the two opposite notches in the spool (Fig. V) and
place the spool into its retainer with notches aligned with
retainer eyelets (Fig. X). Lastly, align the retainer slots with
the tabs on the spool base and press the retainer evenly
down, ensuring that it snaps into place (Fig. W).
