We have given safety, performance, and dependability top priority in the design of this product, making it easy to maintain and operate. Page 2 GENERAL SAFETY RULES WARNING: When using electric gardening appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following: n Use the right product. [. . . ] n Slide the bolt through the holes in the front handle. n Place the wing nut onto the bolt and tighten the wing nut securely. 3 Page 9 ASSEMBLY ATTACHING THE GRASS DEFLECTOR See Figure 4. GRASS DEFLECTOR WING NUT LOCK WASHER WASHER WARNING: The line cutting blade on the grass deflector is sharp. Failure to avoid contact can result in serious personal injury. Follow these steps to attach the grass deflector. n Slide the grass deflector onto the attachment shaft and fit it over the bracket. n Install the bolt through the holes in the tabs on the grass deflector and the slots in the bracket on the attachment shaft. n Install the flat washer, the lock washer, and the wing nut. n Remove the protective packaging from the line cutting blade. CUT OFF BLADE BOLT Fig. 4 EXTENSION CORD RETAINER n An extension cord retainer is located on the bottom of the trimmer. If grass becomes wrapped around the trimmer head assembly, stop the trimmer, unplug it, and remove the grass. Move the trimmer slowly in and out of the area you are cutting, keeping the trimmer at the desired cutting height. Use the tip of the line to do the cutting. Do not force the trimmer head assembly into uncut grass. Feed out some line after each use to prevent the line from retracting into the cutting head. n n n n Fig. 8 n n Page 11 OPERATION n The tip of the cutting line will wear during use; this reduces the cutting swath. If the line is not advanced occasionally, it will wear down to the eyelet. When the trimmer stops, the line tends to relax and may retract into the trimmer head assembly. Should this occur, unplug the trimmer, remove the spool, refeed the line through the eyelets, and reassemble the spool. Avoid hitting objects with the line, such as chain-link fences or concrete, as this causes rapid wear. Never drag the trimmer head assembly on the ground while trimming.
