How the automatic line feed works (N)

1. When initially switching on the trimmer, a small length

of line is fed out.

2. A ʻclatteringʼ noise will be heard when the nylon line

hits the line cutter. DO NOT BE ALARMED this is

quite normal. After approximately 5 seconds the line

will be cut to the correct length and the noise will re-

duce as the motor reaches full speed.

• Make sure the motor is up to full speed before trimming.

3. If the noise of the nylon line being cut cannot be

heard, more line will need to be fed out.

4. To feed more line, it is first necessary to to allow the

motor to stop completely, then re-start, allowing the

motor to reach full speed.

5. Repeat step 4. until you hear the line hitting against the

cutter. (Do not repeat this procedure more than 6 times)

6. If problems are experienced with the automatic line

feed refer to Fault Finding Chart.

To manually feed the nylon line (P)

1. If required line can be fed out manually.

2. To operate, press and release manual line feed but-

ton, whilst gently pulling on one of the lines until the

line reaches the line cutter.

3. 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).

4. If the line extends past the line cutter, too much line

has been fed out.

5. If too much line is fed out, remove the spool cap and click

spool anti-clockwise until the line is at the desired length.

To remove spool cap

1. Press and hold in the two cap release latches. (Q).

2. Pull cap away from the spoolholder. (Q).

When refitting the spool cap

1. Keep all areas of the cap and spoolholder clean. Fail-

ure to do so may prevent the cap being securely lo-

cated in the spoolholder.

2. Replace the cap, pressing firmly DOWN towards the

spoolholder to ensure cap is fully located.

3. Check that the cap is correctly fitted by trying to re-

move it without depressing the two latches.

To replace nylon line.

For your convenience it is recommended you buy spool

and line complete. Nylon line only is also available. Both

are available from Husqvarna UK Ltd. stockists.

To fit spool and line complete:

1. Remove old spool.

2. Place new spool into spoolholder with cut out areas of

the spool in line with eyelets as shown in figure R.

3. Release one line from cleat and feed line through eyelet (R).

4. Repeat for second line.

• Ensure spool is fully located by gently rotating it during

fitment, whilst keeping the spoolholder steady.

5. Refit the cap.

To fit nylon line only:

• Remember ! Your Trimmer is designed to use only

nylon line with a maximum diameter of 1.5mm. Use

only genuine Husqvarna UK Ltd. nylon line.

1. IMPORTANT - Always wind the line onto the upper

section of the spool first.

Take approximately 5 metres of line. Insert 15mm of

line into one of the holes in the upper section of the

spool (S) and wind line in the direction of the arrows

on the top of the spool. Leave approximately 100mm

of line unwound and place into cleat as illustrated in

figure S. Repeat on lower section of spool.

2. Care should be taken to ensure that the line is neatly

coiled on the spool. Failure to do so will impair the ef-

ficiency of the automatic line feed.

3. Then fit spool as described in 'To fit spool and line

complete', section above.

Always return the product to its normal operating

position before switching on.
