Place an adequate work breaks. And continual and regular users should monitor closely the condition of their hands ngers. 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 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. 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 perform- ing any maintenance. GENERAL MAINTENANCE Before each use, inspect the entire product for dam- aged, 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 dam- aged 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.English (original instructions)

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 perform- ing any 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 9. 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 10.

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

Remove the battery pack. Ensure 'F’ and ‘L’ is installed on the shaft of the trimmer. 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' . Insert 'K' into the hole next to the gear box. Line up the hole and the slot in 'L' to lock the axle. Spin the Brush-cutter Blade 'G' to ensure Brush- cutter Blade is secured tightly. Using a 19mm or 3/4" wrench tighten the lock-nut'J' Counter-clockwise to 44-58" N.M or 32-42 ft/lbsof torque. Remove ‘K’.

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.
