Adjusting the Spindle Height
The spindle height can be adjusted for various applications. To 
do so, proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the bolt found on  side of the spindle shaft. 
Note: The bolts are designed so that they cannot be 
removed from the spindle shaft.
2. Slide the spindle upward or downward to the desired 
position before retightening the bolts① and  nut②. 
See Figure 5-1.(Note: bolts must be tightened with 
thespindle when starting the equipment。)

Using Your String Trimmer 
Be sure trimming area is clear of stones, sticks, wire, or other 
objects which could damage the string trimmer or engine. 
Such objects could be accidently thrown by the trimmer in any 
direction and cause serious personal injury to the operator and 
others. 
WARNING: The operation of any string trimmer 
can result in foreign objects being thrown into the 
eyes, which can damage your eyes severely. Always 
wear safety glasses while operating the string 
trimmer, or while performing any adjustments or 
repairs on it.
•
The string trimmer is designed with the spindle offset to 
the left side, allowing the operator to trim along a fence, 
landscaping, or a house to his or her’s right side without 
having to make any adjustments to the machine.
• Operate the string trimmer at a slower walking speed when 
trimming tall, thick weeds or grass.
• Clean the underside of the trimmer after each use to 
remove any debris build up.
WARNING: Shut the engine off and wait until the 
trimmer head comes to a complete stop before 
cleaning the discharge area. The trimmer head 
continues to rotate for a few seconds after the 
trimmer head control is released.
• Do not trim on excessively steep slopes. If a slope is difficult 
to stand on, do not trim. Do not trim on slopes when the 
ground is slippery or wet. Trim across the face of a slope, 
not up and down.
CAUTION: While operating the string trimmer, do not allow the 
spindle to contact a concrete, asphalt, or gravel surface. Doing so 
will result in premature wear.
Changing the Trimmer Line
To ease in removing worn trimmer line, change the trimmer line 
before it becomes too short (i.e. approximately half its original 
length).
1. Remove the worn trimmer line from the spindle.
2. Fold the replacement trimmer line in half and insert both 
ends through the loop near the edge of the spindle.
3. Pull the ends of the tri·mmer line through the loop until 
the line is securely beneath the metal tab.
4. Cross the line ends and pull each tightly to secure the 
trimmer line in place. See Figure 5-3.
