Maintenance Tips

• Always remove the battery before cleaning, line replacement, or maintenance to prevent accidental startup.
• Clean the trimmer head, guard, and air vents after each use to remove grass, sap, and debris that can affect Line IQ performance.
• Check the Line IQ head regularly; ensure grass is not packed around the spool area, as buildup can disrupt auto-feed function.
• Use only recommended trimmer line diameter (typically 0.095") to avoid jams and feeding issues.
• For POWERLOAD, ensure line is properly threaded and tensioned before activating the auto-wind function.
• Inspect guard and line-cutting blade; sharpen or replace if worn to maintain clean line trimming and proper auto-length control.
• Keep the carbon fiber shaft and coupling area clean and firmly locked when attaching to multi-head power units.
• Do not use water spray on motor housing—wipe with a damp cloth only and dry immediately.
• Store indoors in a dry place; avoid moisture, chemicals, and extreme temperatures to protect electronics and shaft integrity.
• Remove battery during long-term storage and keep at a moderate charge level to extend battery life
