If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the motor , remove
the battery pack from the line trimmer. and check immediately for the cause.
Vibration is generally a warning of trouble. A loose head may vibrate, crack,
break or come off the trimmer, which may result in serious or fatal injury. Make
sure that the cutting attachment is properly xed in position. If the head loosens
after xing it in position, replace it immediately. Never use a trimmer with a loose
cutting attachment.
Replace a cracked, damaged or worn-out cutting head immediately, even if
damage is limited to supercial cracks. Such attachments may shatter at high
speed and cause serious or fatal injury.
Check the cutting attachment at regular short intervals during operation, or
immediately if there is a noticeable change in cutting behavior.
Only use EGOTM authorized polymer trimmer line accessories ( 2.4 mm) and
trimmer line that are designed for use with this machine. Although certain
unauthorized attachments might be tted to the EGOTM line trimmer, their use
may be extremely dangerous, and/or damaging to the tools.
To reduce the risk of serious injury, never use wire or metal-reinforced line or
other material in place of the nylon cutting lines. Pieces of wire could break off
and be thrown at high speed toward the operator or bystanders.
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of control, never work on a ladder or on any
other insecure support. Never hold the cutting attachment above waist height.
If situations occur that are not covered in this manual, use care and good
judgment. Contact the EGO Service Center for assistance.

Tips for best trimming
results (Fig. 16)
The correct angle for the cutting
attachment is parallel to the ground.
This line trimmer allows you to rest
the bump knob on the ground for
operating more comfortably.
Do not force the trimmer. Allow
the very tip of the line to do the
cutting (especially along walls).
Cutting with more than the tip will reduce cutting efciency and may overload
the motor.
The cutting height is determined by the distance of the cutting line from the lawn
surface.
Grass over 200mm should be cut by working from top to the bottom in small
increments to avoid premature line wear or motor drag.
Slowly move the trimmer into and out of the area being cut, maintaining the
trimmer at the desired cutting height. This can be either a forward backward or
side-to-side motion. Cutting shorter lengths produces best results.
Trim only when grass and weeds are dry.
Wire and picket fences can cause extra line wear or breakage. Stone and brick
walls, curbs, and wood may wear lines rapidly.
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding, and fence posts can
easily be damaged by the lines.

ADJUSTING CUTTING
LINE LENGTH
The bump head allows the operator to
release more cutting line without stopping
the motor. As line becomes frayed or worn,
additional line can be released by lightly
tapping the bump knob on the ground
while operating the trimmer (Fig. 17).
NOTICE: Always keep the cutting line fully
extended. Line release becomes more
difcult as the cutting line becomes shorter.
WARNING: Do not remove or alter the line cutting blade assembly. Excessive
line length will cause the motor to overheat and may result in serious personal injury.
For best results, tap the bump knob on bare ground or hard soil. If line release is
attempted in tall grass, the motor may overheat. Always keep the cutting line fully
extended. Line release becomes more difcult as the cutting line becomes shorter.
LINE REPLACEMENT
NOTICE: Always use standard 2.4mm diameter nylon cutting line. Using line other than
that specied may cause the line trimmer to overheat or become damaged.
WARNING: Never use metal-reinforced line, wire, rope, etc. These can break off
and become dangerous projectiles.
There are two methods to replace the cutting line:
1. Wind the spool with new line.
2. Install a pre-wound spool.
