8. REFILL OF CUTTING LINE
To refill cutting line:
1. Disconnect the machine from the mains.
2. Remove the empty spool. (Fig. 12 & 13)
3. Cut a new cutting line to less than 8 m and bend it at
the middle.
4. Hook the middle of the new cutting line to the notch
located at the center of the spool between the
2 channels provided for the cutting line. The arrow on
the spool shows the direction of winding the cutting
line. (Fig. 16)
5. Wind the cutting line around the A section (10) in an
orderly placement. Make sure to wind it tight and flat
so that the surface of the wound line is not ragged.
(Fig. 17)
6. Wind all but about 100 mm of the cutting line, leaving
the end temporarily hooked through a line holder (12)
on the side of the spool. (Fig. 18)
7. In this way, wind the cutting line in the B section (11)
as well and leave the end temporarily hooked.
(Fig. 17 & 19)
8. Mount the spool onto the cap so that the temporarily
hooked position of the cutting line (13) matches up
with the notches (14) on the side of the cap (15).
(Fig. 20)
9. Unhook the ends of the cutting line from their
temporary position and fit them into the notches on the
side of the cap. (Fig. 21)
WARNING: Make sure that the cap is secured to
the spool holder properly. Failure to properly secure the
cap may cause the components to fly apart resulting in
serious personal injury.
10. Make sure that the spring is in place. Push the cap
(15) in the spool holder (16). Make sure the latches
fully spread in the cap. (Fig. 14, 15 & 22)
11. Press on the spool button (18) and pull out one end of
the cutting line. Make sure that the line has been fed
out. (Fig. 22 & 23)
12. Finally, pull out the other end of the line without
pressing the spool button. Make sure that the line has
been fed out.
9. FEEDING CUTTING LINE
Short or worn lines cut less efficiently. To improve its
operation on subsequent occasions, tap the spool button
lightly on the ground while the trimmer is running at full
speed. This will automatically feed extra cutting line. The
cutting line blade (17) under the guard will automatically
trim the cutting line to the correct length during operation.
(Fig. 22 & 24)
NOTE: Hitting hard or abrasive objects, such as
fences, concrete and rocks hidden by tall grass may
cause the cutting line to break. If the cutting line breaks,
follow the feeding procedure.
10. INSTRUCTION FOR USE
Start the trimmer before getting close to the grass to be
cut.
Cut the grass by moving the trimmer from right to left and
proceed slowly, keeping trimmer inclined about 30°. High
grass should be cut in layers, always beginning from the
top. The cuts should be short.
Do not cut damp or wet grass.
Avoid wearing the line out quickly by knocking against
hard objects (stone, walls, fences, etc.). Use the edge of
the guard in order to keep the trimmer at the right
distance.
WARNING: Do not use excessive force or hitting
the Trimmer Bump Head on the ground to feed the
trimming line. If the trimming line will not be fed after
tapping the bump head on the ground while the trimmer is
running, the cutting line may have tangled or broken
within the cartridge or the cutting line may have been
used up.
NOTE: Excessive force or hitting the Trimmer Bump Head
on the ground to feed the cutting line will damage the
bump head.
WARNING: The cutting head continues to rotate
after motor is switched off for a few seconds.
