Safety Tips for using the Trimmer
Following these tips will provide safe operation and enhance the performance of your Trimmer:
•
Always stop the Motor before toggling the Mower/Auxiliary Switch.
•
You can adjust the cutting height of the Trimmer by raising or lowering the Mower's cutting height level. Make sure
you first stop the Motor and remove the Safety Key before changing the height.
•
Stop the Motor and remove the Safety Key before changing the position of the Trimmer Head or Housing.
•
The Battery will drain more quickly in the Edger mode. You can realistically expect up to 45 minutes of use in the
Edger mode, and approximately one (1) hour in Trim mode. This is when having an extra charged Battery comes in
handy. Be sure to remove the Safety Key when you change the Battery.
•
Be sure to clean the Trimmer Head frequently keeping the cooling vents and air intake holes free of debris. See
Cleaning and Storing on the back page of this manual.
Maintaining and Storing the Trimmer
Always remove the Safety Key before removing the Trimmer from the Mower, performing any adjustments, maintenance,
spool changes, or repairs to the Trimmer. Allow the Trimmer to cool at least five (5) minutes before servicing or storing.
Replacing the Spool
Replace the Spool when the Cord runs out.
1. Using your thumb and finger (Figure 11), press the Clips in (one on either the side of the Spool Housing) at the same
time and push them UP slightly towards you. The green Cover will pop up part way and then remove it. The outer
black Spool Housing stays on the Trimmer.
2. Lift out the empty Spool.
3. Thread the end of the new Cord through the metal opening in the Spool Housing (Figure 11).
4. Insert the new Spool with the printed side facing out (so you can read it).
Try gently pulling on the Cord to help seat the new Spool.
TIP
5. Replace the green Cover. Make sure the Clips (1 each side) in the Cover align with the Slots in the Spool Housing. If
they don't, press the Clips and turn the Spool Housing until the Clips and Slots align. The Clips must snap securely into
place.
Replacing the Spool Housing
You only need to replace the Spool Housing if it is damaged or cracked. You do not need to remove the Shield to replace the
Spool Housing. If the Cord runs out, only change the Spool.
1. Remove the green Spool Cover. See "Replacing the Spool" above for details.
2. Using a flat-head Screwdriver, hold the Shaft in place (Figure 12) so it won't turn and unscrew (counterclockwise) the
Spool Housing with your hand and remove it.
3. Install a new Spool Housing in the reverse order and securely tighten by hand.
