For safe and better operation, put on the shoulder strap
EN
across the shoulder. Adjust the shoulder strap in a
comfortable operating position. Hold the line trimmer with
your one hand on the rear handle and your other hand
on the front-assist handle. Keep a firm grip with both
hands while in operation. The line trimmer should be held
at a comfortable position with the rear handle about hip
height. The trimmer head should be parallel to the ground
such that it easily contacts the material to be cut without
the operator having to bend over (Fig. B).
WARNING:
The shoulder strap is also a quick
release mechanism in hazardous situation. When emer-
gency occurs, take it off from your shoulder immediately,
no matter what way the strap is in.
After each use, clean the trimmer
See the MAINTENANCE section for cleaning instructions.
TO START/STOP THE TOOL
See "STARTING/STOPPING THE POWER HEAD" section
in the power head PH1400E operator's manual.
ADJUSTING CUTTING LINE LENGTH
The trimmer 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 trimmer head on the ground while operating
the trimmer (Fig. E).
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 mo-
tor 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,
or 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.
3. Rotate the spool retainer in the direction indicated by the
arrow, as necessary, to align the LOAD line on the spool
retainer with the eyelets in the spool base (Fig. F).

4. Cut 5m long cutting line, about 5 times the length of
the trimmer aluminium shaft. Insert the line into the
mounting hole inside the eyelet (Fig. G). Push and pull
the line from the other side until equal amounts of
line appear on both sides of the spool.
5. Press, while rotating the spool retainer in the arrow
direction, to wind the line onto the spool until
approximately 14cm of line is showing on each side
(Fig. H).
6. Push the spool retainer down while pulling on the
lines to manually advance the line and to check for
proper assembly of the trimmer head.
When the cutting line breaks from the line outlet or the
cutting line is not released when tapping the trimmer
head, follow the steps below:
1. Remove the battery pack.
2. Press the release tabs on the spool retainer and
remove the spool retainer by pulling it straight out
(Fig. I & J).
3. Remove the cutting line from the spool retainer.
4. With one hand holding the spool base, use the other
hand to grasp the spool retainer and align the tabs
on the spool retainer with the holes in the spool base
(Fig. K); use your palm to press and rotate the spool
retainer left and right until the tabs lock with the
spool base (Fig. L).
5. Following the instructions in "LINE REPLACEMENT" to
reload the cutting line.
When the tool is intended to use as a brush cutter,
follow the steps as Fig. M & N shown to disassemble the
trimmer head.
