of line is fed out.
2. A 'clattering' noise will be heard when the two nylon
lines hit the line cutter. DO NOT BE ALARMED this

line will be cut to the correct length and the noise will
reduce as the motor reaches full speed.
Make sure the motor is up to full speed before
trimming or edging.
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 lines hitting against the
cutter. (Do not repeat this procedure more than 6 times)

feed refer to Fault Finding Chart.
