NOTICE:
The tool is to be used only for its prescribed
EN
purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of misuse.
Before each use check for damaged/worn parts
Check the trimmer head, guard and front handle and
replace any parts that are cracked, warped, bent, or
damaged in any away.
The line-cutting blade on the edge of the guard can
dull over time. It is recommended that you periodically
sharpen it with a file or replace it with a new blade.
WARNING:
Always wear gloves when mounting or
replacing the guard or when sharpening or replacing the
blade. Note the location of the blade on the guard and
protect your hand from injury.

To prevent serious personal injury,
remove the battery pack from the power head before

USING THE LINE TRIMMER WITH POWER HEAD
WARNING:
Dress properly to reduce the risk of
injury when operating this tool. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Wear eye and ear/hearing protection. Wear
heavy, long pants, boots and gloves. Do not wear short
pants or sandals or go barefoot.
WARNING:
Clear the area to be cut before each use.
Remove all objects, such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire,
or string that can be thrown or become entangled in the
cutting attachment. Clear the area of children, bystanders,
and pets. At a minimum, keep all children, bystanders
and pets at least 15m away; there still may be risk to
bystanders from thrown objects. Bystanders should be
encouraged to wear eye protection. If you are approached,
stop the motor and cutting attachment immediately.
For safe and better operation, put on the shoulder strap
across the shoulder. Adjust the shoulder strap in a
comfortable operating position. Hold the line trimmer with
your one hand on the rear handle and your other hand
on the front handle. Keep a firm grip with both hands
while in operation. The line trimmer should be held at
a comfortable position with the rear handle about hip
height. The trimmer head should be parallel to the ground
so that it easily contacts the material to be cut without the
operator having to bend over (Fig. B).
WARNING:
The shoulder strap is also a quick
release mechanism in hazardous situation. When
emergency occurs, take it off from your shoulder
immediately, no matter what way the strap is in.

LINE TRIMMER ATTACHMENT — STA1600
After each use, clean the trimmer
See the MAINTENANCE section for cleaning instructions.
TO START/STOP THE TOOL
See "STARTING/STOPPING THE POWER HEAD" section
in the power head PH1420E operator's manual.
ADJUSTING CUTTING LINE LENGTH
The trimmer head allows the operator to release more
cutting line without stopping the motor. As line becomes
frayed or worn, additional line can be released by lightly
tapping the trimmer head on the ground while operating
the trimmer (Fig. E).
NOTICE:
Line release will become more difficult as the
cutting line becomes shorter.
WARNING:
Do not remove or alter the line-cutting
blade assembly. Excessive line length will cause the motor
to overheat and may result in serious personal injury.
LINE REPLACEMENT
NOTICE: Always use the recommended nylon cutting
line with diameter no more than 2.4mm. Using line
other than that specified may cause the line trimmer
to overheat or become damaged.
WARNING: Never use metal-reinforced line,
wire, or rope, etc. These can break off and become
dangerous projectiles.
The line trimmer is equipped with an advanced
POWERLOAD
TM
system. The cutting line can be
wound into the spool simply by pressing a single
button. Loading a full spool can usually be completed
in 12 seconds. Avoid repeated operation of the
winding system in rapid succession to reduce the
possibility of motor damage.
NOTICE: The POWERLOAD
TM
system is only available
when the attachment is connected to Power Head
PH1420E and the battery pack is installed.
1. Remove the battery pack.
2. Cut 4m long cutting line. Insert the line into the eyelet
(Fig. F). Push and pull the line from the other side
until equal amounts of the line appear on both sides
of the trimmer head
NOTICE: If the line cannot be inserted into the eyelet
when the lower cover is stuck, install the battery pack
onto the power head, then press the line-loading
button briefly to reset the lower cover.
