MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Use only the original manufacturer's replacement parts, accessories and
attachments. Failure to do so can cause possible injury, poor performance and may
void your warranty.
You may make adjustments and repairs as described in the manual. For other
repairs, have the trimmer serviced by an authorised service agent.
Consequences of improper maintenance may include excessive carbon deposits
resulting in the loss of performance and discharge of black oily residue dripping
from the silencer.
Make sure all guards, straps, deflectors and handles are properly and securely
attached to avoid the risk of personal injury.
The cutting attachment must not rotate in idle mode. If this requirement is not
satisfied, the idle speed needs adjustment (See Figure 10) or the machine needs
urgent maintenance by a qualified technician.
LINE REPLACEMENT
See Figure 7.
Use 2.4 or 2.8 mm diameter monofilament line. For best performance, use the original
manufacturer's replacement line.
1. Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug lead.
2. Pull and remove the old line from the holes located on top of the fixed line head.
3. Use 2 pieces of the provided pre-cut trimmer lines or cut 2 pieces of trimmer lines,
28 cm in length.
4. Insert the line into the slots located at both sides of the fixed line head. The line
should be pushed in until about 2.5 cm is left protruding from the holes of the fixed
line head.
Note:
The fixed line head has no string line extending function. Do not tap the fixed
line head on the ground.
CLEANING THE EXHAUST PORT AND SILENCER
Depending on the type of fuel used, the type and amount of oil used, and/or your
operating conditions, the exhaust port and silencer may become blocked with
carbon deposits.
If you notice power loss with your petrol-powered tool, contact a qualified service
technician to remove these deposits and restore performance.
