Frequently Asked Questions - EB 1000 B MTD

How do I start the EB 1000 B string trimmer?

To start, plug the device into an electrical outlet, then press the control switch. Release it to stop.

The motor does not start, what should I do?

Check that the power cord is properly plugged into a working electrical outlet. If the problem persists, contact an authorized dealer.

How do I adjust the cutting line length?

The 'Bump Head' system allows adjusting the line without stopping the motor: tap the cutting head on the ground or a hard surface while running to automatically feed the line.

What extension cord section should I use?

For a 230 V and 0-6 A device, use an extension cord with minimum cross-section: 1.2 mm² for 7 m, 1.6 mm² for 15-30 m, 2.0 mm² for 45 m.

How do I replace the cutting line?

Disassemble the spool by unscrewing the lock nut (clockwise). Clean the inside, then wind a new 2.0 mm diameter line onto the spool in even layers. Reinstall and tighten the lock nut (counterclockwise).

The cutting head does not rotate, what should I do?

This may be due to a broken or improperly engaged flexible shaft. Contact your authorized dealer for repair.

The line does not feed, what are possible causes?

Possible causes: empty spool, obstructed spool, worn teeth, knotted or twisted line. Clean the head, rewind the line, or replace the spool if necessary.

the unit or adjustments to cutting height or work height may only be performed when the motor is off/still and the main plug is disconnected.

■ Cord Sets - Make sure your cord set is in good condition. When using a cord set, be sure to use a cord that is heavy enough to carry the current that your unit will draw. An undersized cord set will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in power and overheating.
The table (below) shows the correct size to use depending on the cord length and nameplate amperage rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier size line gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
For safety reasons, the socket used to power the unit should be backed up by a residual current-operated (FI) circuitbreaker which can be tripped by a max. current of 30mA.
A fatal injury could occur if you sever the mains cable while mowing is taking place. Slowly step away from the unit. Pull the plug out of the mains socket.

4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CONNECTING THE CORD

To prevent disconnection when you connect the extension cord to the power cord, use the cord hook (Fig. 18), or tie the cords in a knot.

STARTING / STOPPING

■Press control switch to switch on the appliance, release to switch off.

HOLDING THE TRIMMER

■ Hold the trimmer as shown FIG. 6

ADJUSTING LINE LENGTH

The trimmer has a bump (cutting) head, which releases more trimming line without stopping the motor.

■When the cord starts to get a bit short, knock the cutting head on the bare ground or on hard ground to make the appliance work at top speed. Repeat the process as often as necessary ( Fig. 7).

DECORATIVE TRIMMING

Use a 30-degree angle to remove all vegetation around trees, posts, fences (Fig. 8).

EDGING

When edging, let the tip of the trimming line do the work ( Fig. 9)

TRIMMING TIPS

( Ⓞ Fig. 9)

1. The cutting head will be at the correct angle by holding it parallel to the ground.
2. DO NOT FORCE THE UNIT.
3. Cut to your left for best cutting, and to

throw the clippings away from the operator.

1. Move the trimmer slowly in and out of the area being cut, using a forward-backward or side-to-side motion. Maintain top speed for best cutting.

2. Trim only when grass and weeds are dry.

3. The life of your cutting line depends on your trimming techniques, what is being cut, and where the cutting is being done. Some line breakage will occur from:

■Entanglement with foreign matter
■Normal line fatigue
■Attempting to cut thick weeds
■Forcing the line into walls or fenceposts

5. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS

REMOVING THE EXISTING REEL

■Unscrew the coil lock-nut clockwise ( Fig. 10).
■Remove the inner reel ( ◎ Fig. 11).
■Use a clean cloth to clean the inside of the outer spool ( Fig. 12).
■Check the indexing teeth on the reel and spool for wear ( Fig. 13). If necessary, replace the reel and spool.

WINDING THE EXISTING REEL

■Insert the ends of new trimming line into the inner reel holes (⑨ FIG. 14).
■ Loop the line into two equal lengths before inserting it into the holes.
■Wind the line, in even and tight layers ( Fig. 15), onto the reel, and in the direction indicated.
■Push the ends of the line into the slots( Ⓞ Fig. 16).

REINSTALLING THE REEL

■Insert the ends of the line through the eyelets in the outer spool ( Fig. 17).

■The Correct Line to Use;
■Removing the Existing Reel;
■Reinstalling the Reel.

CLEANING / STORAGE
