is being operated.
Line Limiter Pin
Shield
After approximately 5 seconds, the line will be
cut to the correct length by the line limiter pin
as the motor reaches full speed.
Make sure
the motor is up to full speed before trim-
ming.
If the noise of the cutting line being cut
cannot be heard, more line will need to be fed
out.
To feed more line:
S
Allow the motor to stop completely; then, re-
start the motor and allow it to reach full
speed.
S
Repeat until you hear the line hitting against
the line limiter pin (do not repeat this proce-
dure more than 6 times).
If problems are experienced with the auto-
matic line feed, refer to the TROUBLE-
SHOOTING TABLE.

If required, the cutting line can be fed out
manually.

feed button while gently pulling on one of
the line until it reaches the line limiter pin.

click spool counterclockwise until the line is
at the desired length.
