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 FOR THE SPEEDSPOOL®

WARNING: Never use metal- reinforced line, wire,

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

Always use original equipment manufacturer 0.080 inch (2.03 mm) replacement line. Line other than the specified may make the motor overheat or fail.

There are two methods to replace the SpeedSpool® trimming line:

•Wind the inner reel with new line

•Install a pre-wound inner reel

Winding the Inner Reel With New Line

NOTE: It Is unnecessary to remove the bump knob to install a new trimming line.

1.Cut two pieces of 0.080 inch (2.03 mm) trimming line, 10 feet (3 m) long.

2.Hold the outer spool and turn the inner reel counterclockwise to line up the arrows on the outer spool and inner reel (Fig. 14).

WARNING: Always use the correct line length

when installing trimming line on the unit. The line may not release properly if the line is too long.
