OPERATION

The tip of the cutting line will wear during use; this reduces the cutting swath. If the line is not advanced occasionally, it will wear down to the eyelet. When the trimmer stops, the line tends to relax and may retract into the trimmer head assembly. Should this occur, unplug the trimmer, remove the spool, refeed the line through the eyelets, and reassemble the spool.

Avoid hitting objects with the line, such as chain-link fences or concrete, as this causes rapid wear.

Never drag the trimmer head assembly on the ground while trimming.

ADVANCING THE CUTTING LINE AUTOMATI- CALLY

See Figure 9.

The trimmer includes the EZ Line™ Tap Advance System.

Follow these steps to advance the cutting line automatically.

Press the trigger.

Tap the retaining cap lightly on the ground while the motor is running. Do not hold the retaining cap on the ground.

NOTE: The line cutting blade on the grass deflector will cut the line to the proper length.

NOTE: To help prevent line tangle, tap only once to lengthen the line. If additional line is required, wait a few seconds before retapping the retaining cap. Keep the line length at or near full cutting diameter.

ADVANCING THE CUTTING LINE MANUALLY

See Figure 10.

If the cutting line wears to less than the recommended length, you may not be able to lengthen it by tapping the retaining cap.

Follow these steps to advance the cutting line manually.

Release the trigger and allow the trimmer to coast to a stop.

Unplug the trimmer.

Pull sharply on the line while pushing down on the retaining cap.

RY41002 specifications

The Ryobi RY41002 is a powerful and versatile tool designed to meet the needs of both casual users and professionals seeking high-performance lawn care solutions. This electric string trimmer, featuring a lightweight and ergonomic design, is an excellent addition to any yard maintenance toolkit.

One of the standout features of the RY41002 is its potent 40V lithium-ion battery. This battery technology provides longer runtime durations, which means users can tackle larger properties without worrying about the battery dying mid-task. The Lithium-ion battery also offers fade-free power, ensuring that performance remains consistent throughout the trimming session. Additionally, the battery is compatible with other Ryobi 40V tools, allowing for a seamless transition between different garden tasks.

The RY41002 utilizes a 13-inch cutting width, offering a balance between maneuverability and efficiency. This larger cutting width allows users to cover more ground quickly, making yard maintenance faster and more effective. The trimmer also features a 0.080-inch line, which is durable enough to slice through tough weeds and grass, ensuring an efficient cut every time.

The bump-feed line advancement system is another notable technology incorporated in the RY41002. With this feature, users can easily dispense more cutting line simply by bumping the trimmer head against the ground, eliminating the need to manually adjust the line while working. This results in less downtime during trimming tasks.

For added comfort, the Ryobi RY41002 features an adjustable auxiliary handle, allowing users to find the perfect grip and balance while working. The lightweight design reduces strain on the arms and back during prolonged use, making yard work more enjoyable.

Another impressive characteristic is the electronic motor which operates quietly compared to gas-powered counterparts. This not only makes it more eco-friendly but also allows for early morning or late evening use without disturbing neighbors.

In summary, the Ryobi RY41002 electric string trimmer is an excellent choice for anyone looking for an efficient and powerful tool for lawn maintenance. With its advanced battery technology, generous cutting width, bump-feed line advancement, and user-friendly design, it stands out as a reliable option for keeping your yard looking pristine.
