WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always remove
the battery pack from the tool when cleaning or
performing any maintenance.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields
marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do
so could result in objects being thrown into your
eyes, resulting in possible serious injury.
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement
parts. Use of any other parts can create a hazard
or cause product damage.
MAINTENANCE
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
contact customer service or a qualified 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, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc.,
come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can
damage, weaken or destroy plastic which can
result in serious personal injury.
NOTICE:
Failure to attach the grass deflector prevents the
line being cut to the proper length and can cause
tool failure.
Resume trimming.
ADJUSTING THE LINE CUT-OFF BLADE
See Figure 11.
This trimmer is equipped with a line cut-off blade on the grass
deflector. For best cutting, advance line until it is trimmed to
length by the line cut-off blade. Advance line whenever you
hear the engine running faster than normal, or when trimming
efficiency diminishes. This will maintain best performance
and keep line long enough to advance properly.
OPERATION
This trimmer is currently set at the 14 in. cutting swath. To
adjust to a cutting swath of 12 in.:
Remove the battery pack.
Loosen the blade screw with a Phillips head screwdriver
(not included) and rotate the line cut-off blade 180°.
Tighten the blade screw.
WARNING:
The line cut-off blade on the grass deflector is
sharp. Use gloves while working with the blade.
Direct contact with the blade can result in serious
personal injury.
