Assembly
Prior to use, it is necessary to assemble the safety guard
(3) and cutting spool (1) to the lower shaft (5b) and join the
lower shaft (5b) to the upper shaft (5a).
Before assembling the line trimmer, ensure the protective
plastic sleeve is removed from the shaft of the trimmer.
Fitting the safety guard
Note. If the Bump Feed knob is fitted, remove the bump
feed knob on the end of the spindle prior to fitting the guard.
To remove the bump feed knob, turn the bump knob (18) in
an anti-clockwise direction.
1. Slide the safety guard (3)
down from the top of the lower
shaft (5b), in the orientation
shown. Slide it down to the
bottom of the shaft (you may
need to rotate it to get it past
the bend) and locate it over
the bracket at the bottom of
the shaft.
2. Place the hex nut into the hex shape recess on the guard.
Slide the screw through the side of the safety guard and
tighten with the Allen key provided.
Joining the shaft
1. Depress the location pin and insert the lower shaft (5b)
into the upper shaft (5a). Rotate the lower shaft until the
pin locates positively into the hole in the upper shaft.
2. Tighten the shaft locking knob (21) to secure both shafts
in place.
Fitting the spool
1. Slide the raised section of
the spool (1) onto the end of
the shaft. Ensure the large
hex recess on the rear of the
spool fits fully over the large
hex drive on the base of the
spindle.
2. With your fingers, push the
spool fully into the housing and
screw the bump knob (18) onto
the end of the shaft by turning
it in a clockwise direction.
Screw the bump knob onto the
shaft until it’s tight. Once tight,
ensure the bump knob springs
back freely when pushed.
Note. Ensure to remove any packing tape from the spool.
3. Once the spool is fully inserted and the lines are fully
through the eyelets, pull firmly on each line to disengage
the lines from the spool notches. Ensure the lines are fully
clear of the spool notches and the line is passing through
the eyelets directly to the spool.
