Maintenance - Worx WG160.4 Manual

will make contact with area being worked
on. Do not force the line. The edging wheels
help protect the unit and keep the unit from
contacting the ground. Take extra caution
while edging, as objects can be thrown from
the trimmer line.
AUTOMATIC LINE FEED SYSTEM
When initially switching on the trimmer, a
small length of line is fed out. Each time the
tool is started from rest it will advance about
0.25 inches of trimmer line.
A 'clattering' noise will be heard when
the lines hit the Line Cutter. DO NOT BE
ALARMED this is quite normal. After about
5 seconds the line will be cut to the correct
length and the noise will reduce as the motor
gains full speed.
If the noise of the line being cut can't be heard,
more line will need to be fed out.
To feed more line, it is first necessary to allow
the trimmer to stop completely; it must come
to a complete rest, then restart, allowing the
motor to reach full speed.
Repeat above until you hear the line hitting
against the Line Cutter.
TO MANUALLY FEED THE LINE
(See Fig. M1)
Turn off the trimmer and remove the battery.
If required, line can be fed out manually.
To operate, press and release manual Line Feed
Button (17), while gently pulling out the line
until it is long enough to reach the Line Cutter.
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 turn Spool counter-clockwise until the
line is at the desired length.
TO REMOVE THE SPOOL CAP COVER
(See Fig. M2)
Press and hold in the two Cap Release Latches
(19) (See Fig. M2).
Pull the Spool Cap Cover (18) away from the
Cutting Head (21). Keep the Spool Cap Cover
and the inside of the Cutting Head clean from
debris. To replace the Spool Cap 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.
3 in 1: Trimmer / Edger / Mini mower
REPLACE THE TRIMMER LINE AND
SPOOL (See Fig. M3).
Turn off the trimmer and remove the battery.
Remove Spool Cap Cover.
For your convenience it is recommended you
buy replacement spools with the trimmer line
preinstalled. You can order your Free Spools
for Life WORX spools at www.worx.com or by
calling 1-866-354-WORX(9679).
Remove the old Spool from Spool Holder.
Clear any broken line or cutting debris from
the spool area. Pull the line from the new
replacement Spool through the eyelet of the
Spool Holder. Place new Spool into the holder
with the cut out areas of the Spool facing
inward or down. When installed into the
Spool Holder, the smooth side of the
Spool should be visible.
Release line from cleat on the Spool.
Refit the Spool Cap Cover.
TO MANUALLY WIND LINE
(See Fig. N1-N4)
Take approximately 10ft (3m) of line. Insert
5/8"(15mm) of line into the Spool holes and
wind line in the direction of the arrows on the
top of the Spool.
Leave approximately 4" (100mm) of line
unwound and place into the cleat.
Ensure that the line is neatly coiled on
the Spool. Failure to do so will impair the
efficiency of the automatic line feed.
Then fit the Spool as described above in "Rep
lace the trimmer line and Spool"
