2-in-1 Grass Trimmer/Edger

 

WG118E

A ‘clattering’ noise will be heard for a short time. This 
is normal and is caused by the line being cut by the 
line cutter. Once the line is cut to the correct length, the 
‘clattering’ noise will stop and the trimmer motor will 
run at full speed.
To feed more line, stop the trimmer completely, then 
restart, allowing the motor to reach full speed.  Repeat 
this until you hear the ‘clattering’ noise of the line 
cutting. (Do not repeat this procedure more than 6 
times).

11. MANUAlly fEEdING THE lINE (See fig. J)

Press and release the Line Feed Button (16) (See Fig. J) 
whilst gently pulling out on one of the lines until it has 
reached 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 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 
click the spool counter-clockwise until the line is at the 
desired length.

12. REMOVING THE CAP

Press and hold in the two Cap Release Latches (12) (See 
Fig K).
Pull the Cutting Head Cover (11) away from the Cutting 
Head (14).  Keep the Cutting Head Cover and the inside 
of the Cutting Head clean from debris.  To replace the 
Cutting Head Cover, press it firmly onto the spool 
holder.  Ensure that it is correctly connected by trying 
to remove it without depressing the two Cap Release 
Latches.

13. CHANGING THE lINE SPOOl

First take off the Cutting Head Cover (11) and remove 
the old Spool (13).  Place the new Spool onto the 
Cutting Head (14). Feed one line through the Eyelet 
(15), and then repeat for the second line.  Reattach the 
Cutting Head Cover.

WARNING!

  

our Trimmer is designed to only 

use line with a maximum diameter of 0.065 

(1.65mm”. Only use nylon line. 

IMPORTANT - Always wind the line onto the 

upper section of the spool first.

14. TO MANUAlly WINd lINE

Take approximately 5m of line and insert 15mm of line 
into one of the holes in the upper section of the Spool 
(13)  (See Fig L1). Wind the line in the direction of the 
arrows on the top of the Spool.  Repeat process with
