CONNECTINGTHE CORD OPERATING Use the cord hook when connecting the extension cord to the power cord outlet. This helps prevent any disconnection. This unit is equipped with a two-speed switch. The switch has a powerful high speed for demanding yard work, and a precision low speed for light-duty yard work. 1. Make a narrow loop with the extension cord. Push the switch up for high speed trimming, down for low speed trimming (Fig. 10). 2.
For best results, tap the bump knob on bare ground or hard soil. If you attempt a line release in tall grass, the motor may stall. Always keep the trimming line fully extended. Line release becomes more difficult when the cutting line gets shorter. • Cut from right to left whenever possible. Cutting to the left improves the unit's cutting efficiency. Clippings are thrown away from the operator. • Slowly move the trimmer into and out of the cutting area at the desired height.
T SERVICING DOUBLE INSULATED UNITS . This unit is double-insulated. In a double-insulated unit, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. There is no grounding provided and no means of grounding should be added to this unit. 4. Extreme care and knowledge of the system is required when servicing a double-insulated unit. Service should be performed by qualified service personnel only. Replacement parts for a double-insulated unit must be identical to the parts they replace.
7. Repeat procedures 4-6 with the second piece of line. 2. 8. Hold the outer spool. Wind the inner reel counterclockwise until approximately four (4) inches (102 mm) of line remain (Fig. 18). Pull the old inner reel with existing line from the outer spool. 3. Insert the ends of the prewound inner reel line into the outer spool eyelets (Fig. 21).
