PROBLEM
POSSIBLE SOLUTION
Machine runs slowly.
Check that the spool housing can rotate freely. Carefully clean it if necessary.
Check that the cutting line does not protrude more than approximately 136mm
from the spool. If it does, cut it off so that it just reaches the line trimming blade.
Automatic line feed does not work
Remove the spool cap
Pull the cutting line until it protrudes approximately 136mm from the spool. If
insufficient cutting line is left on the spool, install a new spool of cutting line
Ensure that the line is not crisscrossed on the spool as detailed in Fig. T. If it is,
unwind the cutting line, then wind it back on the spool neatly so that the lines do
not cross
Ensure the beginning of the cutting line is pulled tight against the spool as shown
in Fig. T.
Align the tabs on the spool cap with the cut outs in the housing.
Push the spool cap onto the housing until it snaps securely into place.
If the cutting line protrudes beyond the trimming blade, cut it off so that it just
reaches the blade. If the automatic line feed still does not work or the spool is
jammed, try the following suggestions:
f
Carefully clean the spool and housing..
f
Remove the spool and check if the lever in the spool housing can move
freely.
