HOLDING THE LINE TRIMMER

WARNING: Dress properly to reduce the risk of injury when operating this tool. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Wear eye and ear/hearing protection. Wear heavy duty, long trousers, boots and gloves. Do not wear short trousers, sandals or go barefoot

Before operating, hold the trimmer with both hands, one hand on the rear handle and the other on the front-assist handle which shall be straight (Fig. L). Then check for balanced footing and a proper cutting distance without operator bending over.

STARTING/STOPPING THE LINE TRIMMER

To Stop
Release the lock-off lever and the trigger.

NOTICE: The motor has two speeds for cutting, Position“1” for lower speed and Position “2” for high speed, as Fig. M shown. Just push the speed adjustment switch to the suitable position during cutting.

ADJUSTING CUTTING LINE LENGTH

The bump head allows the operator to release more cutting line without stopping the motor. As line becomes frayed or worn, additional line can be released by lightly tapping the bump knob on the ground while operating the trimmer (Fig. N).

NOTICE: Line release will become more difficult as the cutting line becomes shorter.

WARNING: Do not remove or alter the line cutting blade assembly. Excessive line length will cause the motor to overheat and may result in serious personal injury

There are two methods to replace the cutting line:

1. Wind the spool with new line.
2. Install a pre-wound spool (AS1302, if necessary, available in dealer).

Wind the spool with new line






Press the two release tabs on the spool base and pull the spool retainer out (Fig. O). Take out approximately 5m of 2.0mm diameter cutting line. Fold and wind it onto the spool as Fig. P & Q shown. Then place the line ends through the two opposite notches in the spool (Fig. R) and place the spool into its retainer with notches aligned with retainer eyelets (Fig. T). Lastly, align the retainer slots with the tabs on the spool base and press the retainer evenly down, ensuring that it snaps into place (Fig. S).

NOTICE: Always clean the spool retainer, spool and spool base before reassembling the trimmer head. Check the spool retainer, spool and spool base for wear. If necessary, replace the wear parts.

NOTICE: Failure to wind the line in the direction indicated will cause the trimmer head to operate incorrectly.
