To do a check of the cutting attachment guard WARNING: Do not use a cutting attachment without an approved and correctly attached cutting attachment guard. Always use the recommended cutting attachment guard for the cutting attachment that you use, see Accessories on page 20. If an incorrect or faulty cutting attachment guard is attached, it can cause serious personal injury. The cutting attachment guard stops objects that eject in the direction of the operator. The cutting attachment guard also prevents injuries that can occur if you touch the cutting attachment. 1. Stop the motor. 2. Do a visual check for damages, for example cracks. 3. Replace the cutting attachment guard if it is damaged. Trimmer head • Always use the correct trimmer head, cutting attachments and always use the recommended trimmer line. Refer to Accessories on page 20 and the assembly in the end of the Manual. • Make sure that the cutter on the trimmer guard is not damaged. • Make sure that the trimmer line is wound tightly and equally around the drum to prevent unusual vibrations from the product. Different cord lengths can result in vibrations that are not necessary. Tap the trimmer head to get correct length on the cord. To increase the life of the cord it can be soaked in water for 2 days or more before assembly. This will make the cord more resistant.
