S. or 1-800-265-6778 in CANADA www. ryobi. com IMPORTANT MANUAL DO NOT THROW AWAY INTRODUCTION THANK YOU Thank you for buying this quality product. This modern outdoor power tool will provide many hours of useful service. You will find it to be a great labor-saving device. [. . . ] Always keep the trimming line fully extended. Line release becomes more difficult as the cutting line becomes shorter. NOTE: Do not rest the Bump HeadTM on the ground. CAUTION: Do not remove or alter the line cutting blade assembly. Excessive line length will make the clutch overheat. This may lead to serious personal injury or damage to the unit. Some line breakage will occur from: · Entanglement with foreign matter · Normal line fatigue · Attempting to cut thick, stalky weeds · Forcing the line into objects such as walls or fence posts TIPS FOR BEST TRIMMING RESULTS · Keep the cutting attachment parallel to the ground. · Do not force the cutting attachment. Allow the tip of the line to do the cutting (especially along walls). Cutting with more than the tip will reduce cutting efficiency and may overload the engine. · Cut grass over 8 inches (200 mm. ) by working from top to bottom in small increments to avoid premature line wear or engine drag. Fig. 13 · Cut from right to left whenever possible. Cutting to the left improves the unit's cutting efficiency. Clippings are thrown away from the operator. · Slowly move the trimmer into and out of the cutting area at the desired height. Move either in a forwardbackward or side-to-side motion. Cutting shorter lengths produces the best results. · Trim only when grass and weeds are dry. · The life of your cutting line is dependent upon; · Following the previous trimming techniques · What vegetation is being cut · Where it's being cut For example, the line will wear faster when trimming against a foundation wall as opposed to trimming around a tree. ADJUSTING TRIMMING LINE LENGTH The Bump HeadTM cutting attachment allows you to release trimming line without stopping the engine. To release more line, lightly tap the cutting attachment on the ground (Fig. 14) while operating the trimmer at high speed. NOTE: Always keep the trimming line fully extended. Line release becomes more difficult as cutting line becomes shorter. Fig. 14 14 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS DECORATIVE TRIMMING Decorative trimming is accomplished by removing all vegetation around trees, posts, fences, etc. [. . . ] Any part of the RYOBI Product manufactured or supplied by RYOBI and found in the reasonable judgement of RYOBI to be defective in material or workmanship will be repaired or replaced by an authorized RYOBI service dealer without charge for parts and labor.
