LENGTHENING THE NYLON LINE
When the unit no longer cuts cleanly, the nylon line has become too short.
The best cutting results are obtained when the nylon line is lengthened far enough to be cut
by the cutting knife/blade to the correct length.
LENGTHENING THE NYLON LINE IN OPERATION:
Briefly tap the underside of the spool on the ground when the machine is running.
If the nylon line is still not long enough, tap it on the ground again.
The nylon line will automatically be cut to the correct length by the cutting knife/blade
located on the guard.
LENGTHENING THE NYLON LINE BY HAND:
WARNING
When performing work on the spool, always unplug from the power source!
If the nylon line is too short and cannot be lengthened by tapping. They must be pulled from
the spool by hand.
1.
Place the unit on the floor.
2.
Using one hand, press the underside of the spool and pull both nylon lines out until they
reach slightly further than the edge of the guard. The nylon line will be cut to the correct
length by the blade next time the unit is used.
Only cut with the left (shown here as light grey) area of the cutting unit when the unit is being
moved from right to left.
In the right (dark grey) area, the threads rotate in your direction.
This represents a high level of kickback risk and objects may be thrown in your direction by
the rotation of the thread. You may be hurt as a result.
When the unit is moved from left to right, ensure that the nylon line is kept away from the
grass to ensure that the grass is not thrown up.
Cut long grass from top to bottom to ensure that the grass does not get tangled around the
spool.
Only use the tip of the nylon line. This way you use less nylon line and avoid grass getting
caught up in the spool.
Only take the nylon line as close as absolutely necessary to posts, walls, fences etc. Solid
objects will wear the nylon line.
Tree trunks, young trees and bushes may be damaged by the nylon line.
Use the metal plant guard to ensure your plants are not harmed. The plant guard can fold
down to be operational, or up to be housed away.
