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 normal.
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, allow-
ing 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.
