MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
unplug the appliance before performing any
maintenance.
•
Keep the air intake slots clean to avoid overheating.
•
Your trimmer line can dry out over time. To keep your line
in top condition, store spare pre-wound spools or bulk line
in a plastic, sealable bag with a tablespoon of water.
•
Plastic parts may be cleaned by using a mild soap and a
damp rag.
•
The line cutter on the edge of the guard can dull over
time. It is recommended you periodically touch-up the
sharpness of the blade with a file.
iMPOrTanT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
repairs, maintenance and adjustment should be performed
by authorized service centers or other qualified service
organizations, always using identical replacement parts.
AUTOMATIC LINE FEED DOES NOT WORK
•
Unplug the trimmer.
•
Remove the spool cap.
•
Make sure you are using 0.065 inch (1.65 mm) diameter
ROUND line.
•
Check to see if the lever is in place and pivots freely.
•
Pull the cutting line until it protrudes approximately 5-3/8
inches (136mm) from the spool. If insufficient cutting line
is left on the spool, install a new spool of cutting line.
•
Ensure that the line is not crisscrossed on the spool as
detailed in figure T. If it is, unwind the cutting line, then wind
it back on the spool neatly so that the lines do not cross.
•
Ensure the beginning of the cutting line is pulled tight
against the spool as shown in figure S.
•
Align the tabs on the spool cap with the cut outs in the
housing.
•
Push the spool cap onto the housing until it snaps securely
into place.
•
If the cutting line protrudes beyond the trimming blade,
cut it off so that it just reaches the blade. If the automatic
line feed still does not work or the spool is jammed, try the
following suggestions:
-
Carefully clean the spool and housing.
-
Remove the spool and check if the lever in the spool
housing can move freely.
Remove the spool and unwind the cutting line, then wind
-
it on neatly again. Replace the spool into the housing.
