IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

• Please note that the cutting blade

continues to run for a short period

after you let go of the throttle trigger

–This is called the flywheel effect.

• Do not lend or rent your power tool

without the instruction manual. Be

sure that anyone using your power

tool understands the information

contained in this manual.

• Persons with pacemakers only: The

ignition system of your power tool

produces an electromagnetic field of a

very low intensity. This field may

interfere with some pacemakers.

Consult your doctor if you have

concerns.

• Do not use a pressure washer to clean

your power tool. The solid jet of water

may damage parts of the power tool.

• Do not spray the machine with water.

• Work calmly and carefully – in

daylight conditions and only when

visibility is good. Stay alert so as not

to endanger others.

• Your power tool produces toxic

exhaust fumes as soon as the engine

is running. These fumes may be

colourless and odourless and contain

unburned hydrocarbons and benzoyl.

The following parts are required to fit the guard

and line cutter

4 x locking bolts

4 x locking nuts

4 x washers

1 x 4mm Allen key

1 x spanner

• Loosen the metal mounting bracket using

the 4mm Allen key and spanner

• Once loosened, pull the metal bracket away

from the plastic mounting on the pole.

• Place the blade guard up to the mounting

bracket.

• Make sure that the holes on the mounting

bracket and blade guard line-up.

• Insert the locking bolts through the plastic

retaining bracket on the main pole.

2 x Phillips screws

1 x small Philips screwdriver

• Locate the mounting block on the guard.

• Place the line cutting blade up to the

mounting block as shown.

• Fix the blade to the mounting block using

the two Philips screws.

• Fasten them both together using the Allen

key, locking nuts and washers.

Now that the guard is attached, we will now fix

the

rotating it clockwise.

• Once the nut is removed, pull the bell

shaped washer away from the head

assembly.

• Now lift and remove the flat spacer washer

from the head assembly.

• Line up the hole on the side of the large

washer with the hole in the side of the head
