SOLUTION
Check that the power cord is properly
connected and that there is power going
to trimmer.
Repair by a qualified personal.
Check that the spool housing can rotate
freely. Carefully clean it if necessary.
Check that the cutting line does not
protrude more than 4 inches from the
spool housing. If it does, cut it off so that
it just reaches the line trimming blade.
Replace the spool.
Keep the tabs depressed and remove
the spool cover from the housing. Pull
the cutting line until it protrudes 4 inches
from the housing. If insufficient cutting
line is left on the spool, install a new
spool of cutting line as instructed in
FITTING A NEW SPOOL section.
Carefully clean the spool cover and
housing.
Remove the spool and check if the lever
can move freely.
Remove the spool and unwind the
cutting line, then wind it on neatly again
as instructed in WINDING NEW LINE
ONTO A SPOOL section. Replace the
spool as instructed.
