WARNING Contact with the trimmer cutting head while operating can result in serious personal injury. CUTTING TIPS See Figure 7. Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the best cutting area. The trimmer will cut better when moved from left to right across the area to be cut; it is less effective when moved from right to left. Use the tip of the cutting line to do the cutting; do not force cutting head into uncut grass. Wire and picket fences cause extra cutting line wear, even breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may wear cutting line rapidly. Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding, and fence posts can easily be damaged by the cutting line.

ADVANCING CUTTING LINE

While the string trimmer is operating, the cutting line gets worn down and becomes shorter. This trimmer is equipped with bump feed line advancement, which advances additional line once the head is bumped on the ground while rotating. The cutting blade will cut the line to keep an accurate cutting swath.

This trimmer is equipped with a line cut-off blade on the grass deector. For best cutting, advance line until it is trimmed to length by the line cut-off blade. Advance line whenever you hear the engine running faster than normal, or when trimming efciency diminishes. This will maintain best performance and keep line long enough to advance properly. CONVERTING TRIMMER TO EDGER See Figure 8. Remove the battery pack. Depress lock button (1) and hold it in that position. Rotate control handle (2) 90° until it engages. Release the lock button (1). WARNING When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage. WARNING To avoid serious personal injury, always remove the battery pack from the tool when cleaning or performing any maintenance. GENERAL MAINTENANCE Before each use, inspect the entire product for damaged, missing, or loose parts such as screws, nuts, bolts, caps, etc. Tighten securely all fasteners and caps and do not operate this product until all missing or damaged parts are replaced. 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, oil, grease, etc. WARNING Do not at any time let brake uids, gasoline, petroleum- based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury. Only the parts shown on the parts list are intended to be repaired or replaced by the customer. All other parts should be replaced at an Authorised Service Centre. WARNING To avoid serious personal injury, always remove the battery pack from the tool when cleaning or performing any maintenance. SPOOL REPLACEMENT See Figure 9. Use original manufacturer’s replacement cutting line for best performance. 3English (original instructions) Remove the battery pack. Push in tabs on side of spool cover. Pull spool cover up to remove. Remove the coil protection from the old spool, and install it on the new spool. Make sure the end of the cutting line is extended from the slots of the coil protection. Install the new spool so that the cutting line and slot align with the eyelet in the cutting head. Thread the cutting line into the eyelets. Reinstall the spool cover by depressing tabs into slots and pushing down until spool cover clicks into place. CUTTING LINE REPLACEMENT See Figures 10. Remove the spool from the cutting head. NOTE: Remove any old cutting line remaining on the spool. Cut two pieces of cutting line approximately 3m long. Insert one string into the anchor hole in the upper part of the spool while the other string into the anchor hole in the bottom part of the spool. Wind the lines clockwise around the spool simultaneously, as shown by the arrows on the spool. Position the lines in the guide slots. Install the coil protection on the spool. Make sure the end of the cutting line is extended from the slots of the coil protection. Place the spring in the trimmer head with its small end upward. Place the spool in the trimmer head. Insert the ends of the lines through the line exit holes in the sides of the trimmer head. Reinstall the cover onto the trimmer head. Push until cover snaps into place.

Remove the battery pack from the trimmer before storing. Store it in a place that is inaccessible to children. Keep away from corrosive agents such as garden chemicals and de-icing salts. Store and charge your batteries in a cool area. Temperatures above or below normal room temperature will shorten battery pack life. Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27˚C and away from moisture. All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the temperature, the quicker they lose their charge. If you store your unit for long periods of time without using it, recharge the batteries every month or two. This practice will prolong battery pack life. Secure the trimmer during transport to prevent damage or injury. Clean and maintenance before storage, use of guards on cutting attachments with metal blades. Use of cover for metal blades during transport and storage. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION Environmental protection should be a priority of considerable importance when using the machine, for the benefit of both social coexistence and the environment in which we live. Try not to cause any disturbance to the surrounding area. Scrupulously comply with local regulations for the disposal of packaging, deteriorated parts or any elements with a strong environmental impact; this waste must not be disposed of as normal waste, it must be separated and taken to specified waste disposal centres where the material will be recycled. Scrupulously comply with local regulations for the disposal of waste materials after mowing. At the time of decommissioning, do not pollute the environment with the machine, but hand it over to a disposal centre, in accordance with the local laws in force. 4English (original instructions) TROUBLESHOOTING
