Maintaining the Trimming Line / Line Blades

Hard surfaces, such as sidewalks, can cause the trimming line / line

blades to wear down quickly or break.

• When Using the Bump Head: Frequently check and adjust the

trimming li

ne length. Refer to Adjusting the Tr

imming Line

Length. Always keep the trimming line fully extended.

• When Using the Aero-Flex® Head: Inspect the line blades

frequently. Replace any worn or damaged line blades before

resuming operation. Refer to Replacing the Line Blades in the

Maintenance section.

• DO NOT force the unit. Make shallow cuts in as many passes as are

necessary to achieve the desired depth. Cu

t at a slow, even pace.

CAUTION:

Only snap the release button into the 90°

edging hole when edging with the trimmer attachment.

Using the 90° edging hole with other attachments could

lead to personal injury or damage to the unit.

WARNING:

To avoid serious personal injury and

damage to the unit, shut the unit off before rotating the

attachment.

NOTE: Some line / line blade breakage will occur from:

• Entanglement with foreign matter

• Normal line / line blade fatigue

• Attempting to cut thick vegetation

• Forcing the line / line blades into objects such as walls or

fence posts
