USING THE LINE TRIMMER
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, wear
goggles or safety glasses at all times when operating this
unit. Wear a face mask or dust mask in dusty locations.
Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all ob-
jects, such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or line, that
can be thrown or become entangled in the cutting attach-
ment. Clear the area of children, bystanders, and pets.
At a minimum, keep all children, bystanders and pets at
least 15m away; there still may be risk to bystanders from
thrown objects. Bystanders should be encouraged to wear
eye protection. If you are approached, stop the motor and
cutting attachment immediately.
Before each use check for damage/worn parts
Check the bump head, guard and front-assist 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 sharp-
en 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.
◾
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 and shaft free from
debris at all times (Fig. O).

overheating or damaged of the motor.
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
bump knob on the ground while operating the trimmer (Fig. P).
For best results, tap the bump knob on bare ground or
hard soil. If line release is attempted in tall grass, the
motor may overheat. Always keep the cutting line fully
extended. Line release becomes more difficult as the
cutting line becomes shorter.
blade assembly. Excessive line length will cause the motor
to overheat and may result in serious personal injury.
WORKING WITH BUMP PROTECTOR
The bump protector can limit the cutting range of the
cutting line and reduce the risk of the rotating cutting line
causing damage (Fig. Q)
To use the bump protector, flip it down from its stored
position (Fig. R).

opposite notches in the spoon (Fig. V) and place the spoon
into its retainer with notches aligned with retainer eyelets
(Fig. W). Lastly, align the retainer slots with the tabs on the
spoon base and press the retainer evenly down, ensuring
that it snaps into place (Fig. X).
