MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS

SERVICING DOUBLE INSULATED UNITS

This unit is double-insulated. In a double-insulated unit, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. There is no grounding provided and no means of grounding should be added to this unit.

Extreme care and knowledge of the system is required when servicing a double-insulated unit. Service should be performed by qualified service personnel only.

Replacement parts for a double-insulated unit must be identical to the parts they replace. Refer any repair to an authorized service dealer. A double-insulated unit is marked with the words “double insulation” or “double insulated.”

LINE INSTALLATION

This section covers both SplitLine™ and standard single line installation.

Always use original equipment manufacturer 0.065 in. (1.65 mm) replacement line. Line other than the specified may make the motor overheat or fail.

WARNING: Never use metal- reinforced line, wire,

chain or rope. These can break off and become dangerous projectiles.

There are two methods to replace the trimming line:

•Wind the inner reel with new line

•Install a prewound inner reel

Winding the Existing Inner Reel

1.Hold the outer spool with one hand and unscrew the Bump Knob™ counterclockwise (Fig. 11). Inspect the bolt inside the Bump Knob to make sure it moves freely. Replace the Bump Knob if damaged.
