WARNING

Noise. A degree of noise from the machine is not avoidable. Route noisy work is to be licensed and limits for certain periods. Keep rest periods and they may need to restrict the working hours to a minimum.

For their personal protection and protection of people working nearby, an appropriate hearing protection shall be worn;

Vibration. Always wear safety and anti-vibration glove. Excessive vibration may cause white finger disease or carpal tunnel syndrome. If you notice an unpleasant sensation or skin discoloration during use of the machine on your hands once you stop working. Place an adequate work breaks. And continual and regular users should monitor closely the condition of their hands fingers.

WARNING

Contact with the trimmer cutting head while operating can result in serious personal injury.

CUTTING TIPS See Figure 6.

• 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.
  ■ Attach metal knob to the rubber hole on the rear handle when in use, unlock the metal knob when not in use.

ADVANCING CUTTING LINE See Figure 7.

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.

ADJUSTABLE CUTTING DIAMETER See Figure 8.

The trimmer is currently set at a 14 in. cutting swath. To adjust to a cutting swath of 16 in.

■ Remove the battery from the string trimmer.
■ Remove both screws on the cut-off blade with a Phillips screwdriver (not included).
■ Rotate the cut-off blade 180°.
■ Replace both screws in the cut-off blade.

Note: Set the cut-off blade to 14 in. for greater runtime. Set the cut-off blade to 16 in. for greater cutting area.

Note: a smaller diameter cutting path will maximize run time and cutting speed, while a larger cutting path will help complete the trimming task quicker.

LINE CUT-OFF BLADE See Figure 8.

This trimmer is equipped with a line cut-off blade on the grass deflector. 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 efficiency diminishes. This will maintain best performance and keep line long enough to advance properly.

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

SPOOL REPLACEMENT See Figure 9.

Use original manufacturer's replacement cutting line for best performance.

■ Remove the battery pack.
■ Push in tabs on side of spool cover.
■ Pull spool cover up to remove.
■ Remove the old spool.
■ To install the new spool, make sure the cutting line is captured in the slot on the new spool. Make sure the end of the cutting line is extended approximately 15cm beyond the slot.
■ 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 eyelet.
■ Pull the cutting line extending from the cutting head so the cutting line releases from the slot in the spool.
■ 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 battery pack.
■ Remove the spool from the cutting head.

NOTE: Remove any old cutting line remaining on the spool.

■ Cut a piece of cutting line approximately 3m long.
■ Bend the line at the midpoint and hook the loop into the slot in the center rim of the spool. Ensure line snaps into position in the slot.
■ Wind the line evenly and firmly in a clockwise direction. Once completed, put the line in the slot so it does not unwind.
■ Do not wind the line beyond the edge of the spool.

ASSEMBLY THE BRUSH CUTTER See Figure 11.

Warning: Be careful of sharp edges and to wear gloves.

■ Remove the battery pack.
■ Ensure the 'F' is installed on the shaft of the trimmer.
■ Insert a suitable screw driver through the two holes.

■ Place the Brush-cutter Blade 'G' on top of the spacer 'F' ensuring it is centered.
■ Place washer 'H on top of the Brush-cutter Blade 'G'
■ Place cover 'I' over washer 'H'
■ Using a 19mm or 3/4" wrench tighten the lock-nut 'J' Counter-clockwise to 44-58" N.M or 32-42 ft/lbs of torque.
■ Spin the Brush-cutter Blade 'B' to ensure Brushcutter Blade is secured tightly.

STORING THE TRIMMER

■ 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.
