line should go on in the direction of the arrow (A) on
the spool (Fig. 20). Line should be wrapped tightly

MAINTENANACE
1. Regular cleaning and maintenance of your string trim-
mer will ensure efficiency and prolong the life of your
machine.
2. After each cutting operation, take apart and clean out
the grass and soil from: the spool and its slot, the
whole trimmer and in particular the guard.
3. During operation, keep the air slots clean and free of
grass.
4. Only use a cloth soaked with hot water and a soft
brush to clean the string trimmer.
5. Do not spray or wet the appliance with water.
6. Do not use detergents or solvents as these could ruin
the trimmer. The parts in plastic can easily be dam-
aged by chemical agents.
7. If the line cutting blade no longer cuts or breaks, have
this replaced by contacting an professional service
center.
8. This appliance has no internal serviceable parts. Do
not attempt any repairs. Doing so could create a haz-
ard and void the manufacturer’s warranty.
