Troubleshooting

Problem

Solution

Appliance runs slowly.

Remove battery from trimmer.
Check that the spool housing can rotate 

freely. Carefully clean it if necessary.
Check that the cutting line does not 

protrude more than approximately 

122 mm from the spool. If it does, cut 

it off so that it just reaches the line 

trimming blade

Automatic line feed does not 

feed line.

More line is fed when the line shortens 

to approximately 76 mm. To determine if 

the line is not feeding, let line wear past 

this point.
Keep the tabs depressed and remove the 

spoolcap with the spool from the spool 

housing in the trimmer head.
Ensure that the line is not crisscrossed 

on the spool as detailed in (Fig. Q). If 

it is unwind the cutting line and rewind 

it neatly.
Inspect tracks at the bottom of spool for 

damage. If damaged, replace spool.
Pull the cutting line until it protrudes 

approximately 122 mm from the spool. If 

insufficient cutting line is left on the spool, 

install a new spool of cutting line. 

Align the tabs on the spool cap with the 

cut outs in the housing.

Push the spool cap onto the housing until 

it snaps securely into place.

If the cutting line protrudes beyond the 

trimming blade, cut it off so that it just 

reaches the blade. If the automatic line 

feed still does not work or the  spool is 

jammed, try the  following suggestions:

Carefully clean the spool and housing.

Make sure you are using correct line 

size and diameter (2.00 mm) - smaller 

and larger line sizes will affect the 

functionality of the auto feed system.

Remove the spool and check if the lever 

in the spool housing can move freely.

Remove the spool and unwind the cutting 

line, then wind it on neatly again. Replace 

the spool into the housing.

Overfeeding

Ensure you are cutting with the tip of 

the line 177 mm from the spool. Use the 

edge guide if needed to ensure proper 

space is maintained.

Ensure you are not exceeding a 10º 

angle as shown in (Fig. G1). 

Line unravels when cap or 

spool is removed

Make sure to park the lines in holding 

slots (Fig. L1) before removing.
