9.2 USING the trimmer as an edger (Fig. 7)
Before making this change, make sure that the device is switched off and
completely separated from the power mains.
For edging driveways and paths, transform the trimmer from trimmer mode to edging mode
as follows:
▪ Push the adjusting button (14) on the motor housing and then rotate the housing to the
edge position.
▪ Release the adjusting button, ensure the motor housing section firmly clicks to secure in
place as it audibly snaps into position.
▪ Now the trimmer can be used as an edge trimmer.
Warning: To prevent accidental starts which may cause serious personal
injury, always disconnect the power cord before attempting to rotate the
shaft.
9.3 Spool replacement (Fig. 8)
NOTE: Use only round 1.62mm diameter filament line. Use original
manufacturer’s replacement line for best performance.
▪ Unplug the grass trimmer.
▪ Push in tabs on side of spool cover (15).
▪ Pull spool cover (15) up to remove.
▪ Remove spool.
▪ To install the new spool, make sure the two lines are captured in the slots (18) opposite
each other on the new spool. Make sure the end of each line is extended approximately
152 mm beyond each slot.
▪ Install the new spool so that the lines and slots align with the eyelets (17) in the line head
(19). Thread the lines into the eyelets (17).
▪ Pull the lines extending from the line head (19) so the line releases from the slots in the
spool.
▪ Reinstall the spool cover by depressing tabs into slots in the line head and pushing down
until spool cover clicks into place.
9.4 Line replacement (Fig. 9)
NOTE: Remove any old line remaining on the spool. Cut two pieces of line,
each being approximately 2.7 m long. Use only 1.65 mm diameter filament
line.
Insert the first line into the anchor hole (20) in the upper part of the spool. Wind the first line
around the upper part of the spool clockwise, as shown by the arrows on the spool. Place
line in the slot on upper spool flange, leaving about 152 mm extended beyond the slot. Do
not overfill. After winding the line, there should beat least 6 mm between the wound line and
the outside edge of the spool.
Repeat above step with second line, using the bottom part of spool and the lower anchor
hole. Do not overfill.
Install the spool in the line head and replace the spool cover as described in Spool
Replacement.
