The line cutoff blade on the deflector is
sharp and can cut you.
Do not use your hands to clean the
deflector shield and blade.
3. Wipe or scrape clean the cutting head area any
time there is an accumulation of debris.

damaged or lost, repair or replace it.
5. Brush debris away from air intake vents and

from overheating.

Replacing the String

repetitively pressing the bump button while
pulling the line out equally from both sides of the
trimmer.

If you are using 2 mm (0.080 inch) string, cut
one piece of line approximately 4.9 m (16 ft).
