Troubleshooting

Solution
Problem
Appliance runs slowly. 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

feed more line.
Ensure that the line is not crisscrossed on the
spool as detailed in Figure U. If it is, unwind the
cutting line, then wind it back on the spool neatly
so that the lines do not cross.
Inspect tracks at the bottom of spool for damage.
If damaged, replace spool.
Pull the cutting line until it protrudes approximately
122mm 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 1.65 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.
Overfeeding 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. J1). Avoid contact of the line with
hard surfaces such as brick, concrete, wood etc.
This will prevent excessive wear and/or overfeed
of line. Cut with the tip of the line
