Line Feeding
Your NEUTON Battery-Powered String Trimmer uses .065" (1.65mm) diameter Nylon Line to cut grass and weeds quickly and easily. In time,
the tip of the Nylon Line will wear and the Auto Feed mechanism will automatically feed and trim a fresh length of Line. The Cutting Line will
wear faster if you trim heavier weeds or edge along sidewalks or other abrasive surfaces. The Line will extend approximately 1/4" with each
Stop and Start of the ON/OFF Trigger Switch until the Line reaches the length of the Safety Guard Blade. Do not bump unit on ground in
attempt to feed Line or for any other purpose.
Clearing Jams and Tangled Lines
(
Figure 8
)
Occasionally, especially when cutting thick or stocky weeds, the Line Feeding Hub may clog with sap or other material and the Line
will become jammed as a result. To clear the jam, follow these steps.
1. Turn
OFF
the Trimmer and remove the Battery Pack.
2. Press the Release Tabs on the Line Spool Cover and remove the Cover by pulling it straight off
.
3. Lift the Spool of Nylon Line out of the Hub and clear any broken Line or cutting debris from the Spool area.
4. In case of jams and tangled Line, unwrap about one foot (30cm) of Line to ensure that it is undamaged. If it is OK, rewind it and
insert the Line end through the Eyelet in the Spool Hub. Pull the Line through the Hole to maintain tension while placing the Spool
back down into the Hub with the notched side exposed.
5. Press the Spool down GENTLY and rotate it until you feel it drop into place. When in place, the Spool will turn a few degrees left
and right freely.
6. Snap the Spool Cover back on, insert the Battery Pack, and turn the Trimmer on. In a few seconds or less you'll hear the Line
being cut automatically to the proper length.
