English Fig. H Fig. I MAINTENANCE WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury. Maintenance Treatments (Fig. J) • Keep the air intake slots 30 clean to avoid overheating (Fig. J). • Your trimmer line can dry out over time. To keep your line in top condition, store spare 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. Fig. J Bump Feed Trimmer Line Feed Your trimmer uses 0.080" (2.0 mm) diameter nylon line. Cutting line will wear faster and require more feeding if the cutting is done along sidewalks or other abrasive surfaces or heavier weeds are being cut. As you use the trimmer, the string will get shorter due to wear. Gently bump the trimmer on the ground while running at normal speed and the line will feed. NOTE: Extending nylon line beyond the 14" (355 mm) swath will negatively affect performance, runtime, and the life of the trimmer due to potential of damaging motor. Doing so may void the warranty. Helpful Cutting Tips • Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force string head into uncut grass. • Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may wear string rapidly. • Do not allow spool cap to drag on ground or other surfaces. • In long growth, cut from the top down and do not exceed 12" (304.8 mm) high. • Keep trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the best cutting area. • The trimmer cuts when passing the unit from the left to right. This will avoid throwing debris at the operator. • Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding, and fence posts can easily be damaged by the string. 30 Replacement Accessories WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn appliance off and remove battery before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories.
