Manual line feed

How the automatic line feed works (H)
1. When initially switching on the trimmer, a small length
of line is fed out.
2. A 'clattering' noise will be heard when the nylon line hits
the line cutter. DO NOT BE ALARMED this is quite nor-
mal. After approximately 5 seconds the 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 line hitting against the
cutter. (Do not repeat this procedure more than 6 times)
6. If problems are experienced with the automatic line
feed refer to Fault Finding Chart.
