or solvent which might contain chemicals that
could seriously damage the plastic. Do not spray
your trimmer with water.

Self lubricating bearings are used in this tool and
so lubrication is not required.

Fault finding

Before checking your trimmer for any faults,
disconnect it from the mains.

If your trimmer will not start, check that the
power cord is properly connected. If this does
not work, check your power point. Finally,
check the fuse and wiring on the cable extension
plug (UK only).

If the automatic line feed fails to operate, it could
be for one of the following reasons:

Line too short or line jammed on spool

Disconnect your trimmer from the power
supply.

Remove the spool cover (8) by pushing both
tabs (12) inwards and upwards (Fig. F).

Lift the spool (15) approximately 6mm (

1

/

4

")

from the spool housing (13), while pulling the
cutting line (5). This will allow you to lengthen
the line while clearing any line jammed inside
the spool. Ensure there is a minimum of 9cm
(3.5") protruding from the spool housing.

Rotate the spool as necessary to fully seat
the spool and replace the cover by aligning
both tabs on the cover with the slots in the
spool housing and push into place. Ensure
that both tabs are securely located.

Line still jammed on spool or broken inside
spool housing

Disconnect the power supply and remove
the cover, as previously described.

Lift out the spool (15) completely, holding the
coiled cutting line in place to prevent it
unravelling from the spool (Fig. J).

Carefully unwind the cutting line (5) from the
spool until any crossed or trapped loops are
cleared. Rewind the cutting line evenly, in the
direction of the arrow (16) on the spool.

Temporarily park the cutting line end in one
of the ‘L’ shaped slots to prevent the spool
unravelling. Ensure you leave a minimum of
9cm (3.5") protruding.

Turn the lever (18) backwards and forwards
to ensure it operates freely (Fig. K).

Remove any dirt or grass that may have
collected inside the spool housing and cover.

Feed the end of the line through the eyelet
(14) and then push the spool into the centre
drive shaft while pulling the free end of the

line to release it from the ‘L’ shaped slot.
To fully seat the spool, rotate as necessary,
taking care not to trap the line underneath
the spool, and making sure that there is a
minimum of 9cm (3.5") of line protruding
from the spool housing.

Finally, replace the cover as previously
described.
