NOTE: If the line is worn too short you may not be able to
advance the line by tapping it on the ground. If so, STOP
THE ENGINE, disconnect the spark plug wire, and manually
advance the line.
ADVANCING THE LINE MANUALLY
With the engine off and the spark plug wire disconnected,
push the spool retainer down while pulling on line(s) to manu-
ally advance the line.
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts could create a hazard or cause
product damage.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1, along with hearing protection.
Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into
your eyes and other possible serious injuries.
WARNING:
Before inspecting, cleaning, or servicing the machine,
shut off engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and
disconnect spark plug wire and move it away from spark
plug. Failure to follow these instructions can result in
serious personal injury or property damage.
NOTICE:
Periodically inspect the entire product for damaged,
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 damaged parts
are replaced. Please call 1-800-242-4672 or contact an
authorized service center for assistance.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
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, lubricant, grease, etc.
OPERATION
GRASS DEFLECTOR LINE TRIMMING CUT-OFF
BLADE
See Figure 10.
The trimmer is equipped with a line trimming cut-off blade on
the grass deflector. For best cutting, advance line until it is
trimmed to length by the cut-off blade. Advance the line when-
ever you hear the engine running faster than normal, or when
trimming efficiency diminishes. This will maintain best perfor-
mance and keep the line long enough to advance properly.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating lubricants, etc., come in con-
tact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which could result in serious personal
injury.
