PROBLEM
Automatic line feed does not
feed more line.
SOLUTION
detailed in figure 14. If it is,
unwind the cutting line, then
wind it back on the spool neatly
so that the lines do not cross.
• Inspect tracks at the bottom of
spool for damage. If damaged,
replace spool.
•Read the code on the back of
spool. If it reads "PA66" call
customer service for a replacement.
If it reads "ABS" this is not the issue.
• Pull the cutting line until it
protrudes approximately 5-3/8
inches (136mm) from the spool.
If insufficient cutting line is left
on the spool, install a new spool
of cutting line.
• 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:
• Carefully clean the spool and
housing.
• Remove the spool and check if
the lever in the spool housing can
move freely.
• Remove the spool and unwind
the cutting line, then wind it on
neatly again
Replace the spool into the housing.
