USING THE LINE TRIMMER WITH POWER HEAD
EN
WARNING:
Dress properly to reduce the risk of
injury when operating this tool. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Wear eye and ear/hearing protection. Wear
heavy, long pants, boots and gloves. Do not wear short
pants or sandals or go barefoot.
WARNING:
Clear the area to be cut before each use.
Remove all objects, such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire,
or string 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.
For safe and better operation, put on the shoulder strap
across the shoulder. Adjust the shoulder strap in a
comfortable operating position. Hold the line trimmer with
your one hand on the rear handle and your other hand
on the front-assist handle. Keep a firm grip with both
hands while in operation. The line trimmer should be held
at a comfortable position with the rear handle about hip
height. The trimmer head should be parallel to the ground
such that it easily contacts the material to be cut without
the operator having to bend over (Fig. B).
WARNING:
The shoulder strap is also a quick
release mechanism in hazardous situation. When
emergency occurs, take it off from your shoulder
immediately, no matter what way the strap is in.
After each use, clean the trimmer
See the MAINTENANCE section for cleaning instructions.
TO START/STOP THE TOOL
See "STARTING/STOPPING THE POWER HEAD" section
in the power head PH1400E operator's manual.
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. E).
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.
