Assembly

Prior to use, it is necessary to assemble the safety guard

(3) and cutting spool (1) to the lower shaft (5b) and join the

lower shaft (5b) to the upper shaft (5a).
Before assembling the line trimmer, ensure the protective

plastic sleeve is removed from the shaft of the trimmer.

Fitting the safety guard
Note.

If the Bump Feed knob is fitted, remove the bump

feed knob on the end of the spindle prior to fitting the guard.

To remove the bump feed knob, turn the bump knob (18) in

an anti-clockwise direction.
1. Slide the safety guard (3)

down from the top of the lower

shaft (5b), in the orientation

shown. Slide it down to the

bottom of the shaft (you may

need to rotate it to get it past

the bend) and locate it over

the bracket at the bottom of

the shaft.

2. Place the hex nut into the hex shape recess on the guard.

Slide the screw through the side of the safety guard and

tighten with the Allen key provided.

Joining the shaft

1. Depress the location pin and insert the lower shaft (5b)

into the upper shaft (5a). Rotate the lower shaft until the

pin locates positively into the hole in the upper shaft.

2. Tighten the shaft locking knob (21) to secure both shafts

in place.

Fitting the spool

1. Slide the raised section of

the spool (1) onto the end of

the shaft. Ensure the large

hex recess on the rear of the

spool fits fully over the large

hex drive on the base of the

spindle.

2. With your fingers, push the

spool fully into the housing and

screw the bump knob (18) onto

the end of the shaft by turning

it in a clockwise direction.

Screw the bump knob onto the

shaft until it’s tight. Once tight,

ensure the bump knob springs

back freely when pushed.

Note.

Ensure to remove any packing tape from the spool.

3. Once the spool is fully inserted and the lines are fully

through the eyelets, pull firmly on each line to disengage

the lines from the spool notches. Ensure the lines are fully

clear of the spool notches and the line is passing through

the eyelets directly to the spool.
