56 VOLT LITHIUM-ION BRUSHLESS BIKE HANDLE LINE TRIMMER — BC1500E-F
Before each use, check for damage/worn parts
Check the bump head, guard and bike handle and replace
the parts that are cracked, warped, bent, or damaged in
any away.
The line-cutting blade on the edge of the guard can dull
over time. It is recommended that you periodically
sharpen it with a file or replace it with a new blade.
WARNING:
Always wear gloves when mounting the
guard or sharpen or replacing the blade. Take care of the
blade on the guard and protect your hand from cutting.
After each use, clean the trimmer.
CAUTION:
Obstructions in the vents will prevent
the air from flowing into the motor housing and result in
overheating or damaged of the motor.
◾
Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool.
Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse
any part of the tool into a liquid.
◾
Keep air vents in the motor housing from debris at all
times.
WARNING:
Never use water for cleaning your
trimmer. Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic
parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from
various types of commercial solvents. Use clean cloths
to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
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 spool retainer 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.
LINE REPLACEMENT
NOTICE: Always use the recommended nylon cutting
line with a diameter that does not exceed 2.4 mm.
Using line other than that specified may cause the
line trimmer to overheat or become damaged.
WARNING:
Never use metal-reinforced line, wire,
rope, etc. These can break off and become dangerous
projectiles.
1. Remove the battery pack.
2. Remove the remaining cutting line, if necessary.
Simply pull it out by hand.
