Solution
Remove battery from trimmer.
Check that the spool housing can rotate
freely. Carefully clean it if necessary.
Check that the cutting line does not
protrude more than approximately
122 mm from the spool. If it does, cut
it off so that it just reaches the line
trimming blade
More line is fed when the line shortens
to approximately 76 mm. To determine if
the line is not feeding, let line wear past
this point.
Keep the tabs depressed and remove the
spoolcap with the spool from the spool
housing in the trimmer head.
Ensure that the line is not crisscrossed
on the spool as detailed in (Fig. Q). If
it is unwind the cutting line and rewind
it neatly.
Inspect tracks at the bottom of spool for
damage. If damaged, replace spool.
Pull the cutting line until it protrudes
approximately 122 mm 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.
Make sure you are using correct line
size and diameter (2.00 mm) - smaller
and larger line sizes will affect the
functionality of the auto feed system.
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.
Ensure you are cutting with the tip of
the line 177 mm from the spool. Use the
edge guide if needed to ensure proper
space is maintained.
Ensure you are not exceeding a 10º
angle as shown in (Fig. G1).
Make sure to park the lines in holding
slots (Fig. L1) before removing.
