TRIMMING GRASS AND WEEDS WITH THE STRIMMER ATTACHMENT
Hold the unit so the head is off the ground and is tilted about 20º toward the
sweep direction.
You can avoid thrown debris by sweeping from left to right.
Use a slow, deliberate action to cut heavy growth. The rate of the cutting motion
will depend on the material being cut. Heavy growth will require a slower action
than light growth.
Never swing the unit so hard as you may be in danger of losing your balance or
control of the unit.
Try to control the cutting motion with the hip rather than placing the full
workload on the arm and hands.
Take precautions to avoid wire and long-stem weeds from wrapping around the
head shaft. Such materials can stall the head and cause the clutch to slip,
resulting in damage to the clutch system if repeated frequently.
ADJUSTING THE LINE LENGTH
Your strimmer is equipped with a semi-automated spool head that allows you to
advance the line without stopping the engine.
When the line becomes short, lightly tap the head on the ground while running
the engine at full throttle.
Each time the head is bumped, the line will advance about 1in (25.4mm). For
better effect, tap the head on bear ground or hard soil. Avoid bumping in thick,
tall grass as the engine may stall by overload.
TRIMMING GRASS AND WEEDS WITH THE BRUSH CUTTER ATTACHMENT
WARNING
This product is equipped with a centrifugal clutch mechanism, so the cutting
attachment will begin to rotate as soon as the engine starts when the throttle is
in the start position.
When starting the engine, place the product onto the ground on a flat clear area
and hold it firmly in place so as to ensure that neither the cutting part nor the
throttle come into contact with any obstacle when the engine starts.
CUTTING METHOD
Use the front left side to cut.
Guide the blade from your right to left with it tilted slightly to your left.
When mowing a wide area, start working from your left end to avoid
interference of cut grass.
The blade may be seized by weeds if the engine speed is too low, or the blade
cuts too deep into weeds. Adjust the engine speed and cutting depth according
to the condition of object.
WARNING
If the grass or other object gets caught in the blade, or if the unit starts to shake
or vibrate, turn off the engine and check the whole unit.
Change the blade if it has been damaged.
Turn off the engine and make sure the blade has completely stopped before
checking it, and removing any object that may have become caught.
OPERATION
Check the locking nut below the blade on the drive shaft head to make sure it is
fasten securely and there are no obvious faults or damages to the part.
Be sure that the blade has been attached according to the instructions and the
blade turns smoothly without abnormal noise or resistance.
WARNING
If the rotating parts are not fastened correctly this may cause serious injury to the
operator.
Make sure that the blade is not bent, warped, cracked, broken or damaged.
If you find any damage to the blade, discard it and replace with a new one.
By using the shoulder strap, hang the unit on your right side. Adjust the strap
length so that the cutting head is parallel to the ground.
WARNING
Make sure to use shoulder strap and debris guard. If not, it can be potentially
very dangerous should you slip or lose your balance.
WARNING
CONTROLLING BLADE BOUNCE
Kick out can cause serious personal injury. It is important that you understand
what causes kick out, how you can reduce the chance of kick out and how you
can remain in control of the unit if kick out does occur.
Wha causes kick ou :
Kick out can occur when the moving blade contacts an object that it cannot cut.
This contact causes the blade to stop for an instant and then suddenly move or
”bounce” away from the object that was hit. The operator can lose control of the
unit and the blade can cause serious personal injury to the operator or any
person nearby if the blade contacts any part of the body.

MAINTENANCE
REPLACING THE STRIMMER LINE
WARNING
For repla ement line use - remove the spark plug from the engine
before you hange or make adjustments to the strimmer or brush
utter atta hments.
Use a diameter of 3/16in (2.4mm). The spool is capable of holding a line up to
27ft (8m) on the 4in head, and 46ft (14m) on the 6in head. Avoid using a larger
line as it may cut down the trimming performance. Your accessory kit includes a
4in spool housing head and 8m of nylon line.
WARNING
For safety reasons, do not use a metal
reinforced line.
inch the slotted area indicated on the spool
housing to unhook the bottom cap and twist
the spool head to release.
Take out the spool and remove the old line.
Take your new line and
with both ends in one
hand run your other hand
down both lines so you
reach the middle of the
line.
osition the middle of the line in either of
centre notches in the spool.
Wind up the line in the correct direction as
indicated on the spool.
Hook each end of the line in both slots
on the edge of the spool, and then pull
the ends through the eyelets in the
housing. Make sure that the spring
and the washers are in place.
While holding the spool against the
housing, pull the line ends to release
them from both slots. You don’t want
the line to be secure in these notches
when in use as the line won’t feed
through when you press the bump
start button.
Line up the slot on the bottom cap
with the hook on the housing, press
the cap against the housing and twist
in an anti-clockwise motion to secure
the cap to the spool housing.
Your new line and strimmer
attachment is now ready to use.
