Replacing the Cutting Line
See Fig. 16
Follow these steps to replace the cutting line:
BEFORE EACH USE:
■ Remove dirt and debris from the product
exterior.
■ Inspect the engine, tank and hoses for
possible fuel leaks and repair as necessary.
■ Inspect the engine cooling fins for
accumulation of debris and clean as
necessary.
■ Inspect the entire machine for damage,
loose and missing components or
fasteners and repair as necessary.
CLEANING THE PRODUCT:
■ Stop the product before cleaning.
■ Clean the exterior of the product with a
damp cloth.
■ 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.
■ Scrape debris away from air intake vents
on both sides of the motor housing.
Keeping air intake vents free of grass
and debris prevents motor
overheating and possible failure.
CAUTION:
Use of line other than the proper
monofilament cutting line could cause
personal injury.
WARNING:
Make sure the trimmer head stops
rotating. Contact with a rotating
trimmer head could cause personal
injury.
WARNING:
Maintenance – continued

NOTE: Depending on the type of fuel used, the
type and amount of oil used, and/or your
operating conditions, the exhaust port and
muffler may become blocked with carbon
deposits. If you notice a power loss with your
petrol powered tool, you may need to remove
these deposits to restore performance. We
highly recommend that only qualified service
technicians perform this service.
