Operating Tips

• Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the best culling area.
• The string trimmer cuts when you move it from left to right. This prevents the trimmer from throwing debris at you.
• Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force the string head into uncut grass.
• Wire and picket fences can cause the string to wear rapidly and even break. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood can also cause the string to wear rapidly.
• Avoid trees and shrubs. The string can easily damage tree bark, wood moldings, siding, and fence posts.
  1. Direction of rotation
  2. String path

Maintenance

After each use of the trimmer, complete the following:

1. Remove the battery from the trimmer.

2. Wipe the trimmer clean with a damp cloth. Do not hose the trimmer down or submerge it in water.
   CAUTION
   The line cutoff blade on the deflector is sharp and can cut you.
   Do not use your hands to clean the deflector shield and blade.

3. Wipe or scrape clean the cutting head area any time there is an accumulation of debris.

4. Check and tighten all fasteners. If any part is damaged or lost, repair or replace it.

5. Brush debris away from air intake vents and exhaust on the motor housing to prevent the motor from overheating.

Replacing the String

Important: Use only 2 mm (0.080 inches) monofilament replacement string (the manufacturer Part No. 88201), or purchase pre-wound spool Part No. 88615 or pre-wound spool 3-pack Part No. 88616.

   2. Cover tabs

3. Remove the spool from the cover and remove any remaining string from the spool.

4. Cut 1 piece of 2 mm (0.080 inches) string to approximately 3 m (10 ft). Important: Do not use any other gauge or type of string, as this could damage the trimmer.

5. Bend the new string at the midpoint and insert the bend into the starter slot in the center rim of the spool (Figure 17).
   Note: Ensure that the line snaps into position in the slot.

6. Wrap the 2 halves of the string evenly and firmly around the spool as shown in Figure 17.
   Note: Ensure that the string is wrapped clockwise around the spool when looking at the bottom of the spool.
   1. Guide slot for string end
   2. Center rim spool starter slot
   3. New string (once fully wound)

7. Wind the string, leaving just enough extending from the spool to contact the swath blade, and snap the ends into the guide slots on the spool (Figure 17).

8. Install the spool into the cover and route the ends of the string through the holes in the cover as shown in Figure 18.
   1. String exit holes

9. Install the spool and cover assembly to the trimmer head push until the cover tabs snap into place

California Proposition 65 Warning Information
What is this warning?
You may see a product for sale that has a warning label like the following:
WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm—www.p65Warnings.ca.gov.
What is Prop 65?
Prop 65 applies to any company operating in California. selling products in California. or manufacturing products that may be sold in or brought into California. It mandates that the Governor of California maintain and publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer. birth defects, and/or other reproductive harm. The list, which is updated annually, includes hundreds of chemicals found in many everyday items. The purpose of Prop 65 is to inform the public about exposure to these chemicals.
Prop 65 does not ban the sale of products containing these chemicals but instead requires warnings on any product. product packaging, or literature with the product. Moreover. a Prop 65 warning does not mean that a product is in violation of any product-safety standards or requirements. In fact. the California government has clarified that a Prop 65 warning Is not the same as a regulatory decision that a product is ‘safe’ or ‘unsafe.- Many of these chemicals have been used in everyday products for years without documented harm. For more information, go to https://oag.ca.gov/prop65/faqs-view-all.
A Prop 65 warning means that a company has either (1) evaluated the exposure and has concluded that it exceeds the ‘no significant risk lever: or (2) has chosen to provide a warning based on its understanding of the presence of a listed chemical without attempting to evaluate the exposure.
Does this law apply everywhere?
Prop 65 warnings are required under California law only. These warnings are seen throughout California in a wide range of settings. including but not limited to restaurants, grocery stores, hotels, schools, and hospitals. and on a wide variety of products. Additionally, some online and mail order retailers provide Prop 65 warnings on their websites or in catalogs.
How do the California warnings compare to federal limits?
Prop 65 standards are often more stringent than federal and international standards. There are various substances that require a Prop 65 warning at levels that are far lower than federal action limits. For example, the Prop 65 standard for warnings for lead is 0.5 pg/day, which is well below the federal and international standards.
Why don’t all similar products carry the warning?

• Products sold in California require Prop 65 labeling while similar products sold elsewhere do not.
• A company involved in a Prop 65 lawsuit reaching a settlement may be required to use Prop 65 warnings for its products, but other companies making similar products may have no such requirement.
• The enforcement of Prop 65 is inconsistent.
• Companies may elect not to provide warnings because they conclude that they are not required to do so under Prop 65: a lack of warnings for a product does not mean that the product is free of listed chemicals at similar levels.

Why does the manufacturer include this warning?
the manufacturer has chosen to provide consumers with as much information as possible so that they can make informed decisions about the products they buy and use. the manufacturer provides warnings in certain cases based on its knowledge of the presence of one or more listed chemicals without evaluating the level of exposure, as not all the listed chemicals provide exposure limit requirements. While the exposure from the manufacturer products may be negligible or well within the no significant risk range. out of an abundance of caution, the manufacturer has elected to provide the Prop 65 warnings. Moreover, if the manufacturer does not provide these warnings, it could be sued by the State of California or by private parties seeking to enforce Prop 65 and subject to substantial penalties.
