AutoMAtIc lINe feed SySteM

When initially switching on the trimmer, a small 
length of line is fed out.
A ‘clattering’ noise will be heard when the 
lines hit the line cutter. DO NOT BE ALARMED 
this is quite normal. After about 5 seconds the 
line will be cut to the correct length and the 
noise will reduce as the motor achieves full 
speed.
If the noise of the line being cut can’t be 
heard, more line will be fed out.
To feed more line, it is first necessary to allow 
the trimmer to stop completely, then restart, 
allowing the motor to reach full speed.
Repeat above until you hear the lines hitting 
against the line cutter. (Do not repeat this 
procedure more than 6 times).

to MANuAlly feed tHe lINe (See fig Q)

If required, line can be fed out manually.
To operate, press and release manual line 
feed button (18), while gently pulling out the 
lines until the lines reach the line cutter.
When the required amount of line is fed out, 
gently pull on the second line (there is no 
need to press the manual line feed button 
again)
If the line extends past the line cutter, too 
much line has been fed out.
If too much line is fed out, remove the spool 
cap and turn spool counter-clockwise until 

the line is at the desired length.
