2. AUTOMATIC LINE FEED SYSTEM
When initially switching on the trimmer, a small length of line is fed out.
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 receives full speed.
If the noise of the line being cut can't be heard, more line will be fed out.
To feed more line, it is first necessary to allow the trimmer to stop completely, then restart, allowing the
motor to reach full speed.
Repeat above steps until you hear the lines hitting against the line cutter. (Do not repeat this procedure
more than 6 times)
3. MANUALLY FEED THE LINE (See Fig. J)
If required, line can be fed out manually.
To operate, press and release manual line feed button, whilst gently pull out the lines until the lines
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 click spool anti-clockwise until the line is at the
desired length.
