10. OPERATION
10.5 AUTOMATIC CUTTING LINE
FEED – FIG.15
The grass trimmer is equipped with an automatic
line-feed system. On switching on a length of
cutting line is fed out accordingly.
A noticeable noise will be heard when the rotating
twin lines make contact with the cutting blade (3)
situated on the underside of the guard. The noise
will cease after several seconds when the cutting
lines are trimmed automatically to the correct
length and the motor reaches operating speed.
If more line is needed it will be necessary to allow
the trimmer to completely stop, then restart to allow
more cutting line to be fed out.
Note: Do not repeat the above procedure more
than six times.
10.6 MANUAL CUTTING LINE FEED –
FIGS. 16 – 17
The cutting line can also be fed out manually:
− Press in the spool feed button (10.1)whilst
gently pulling out the cutting lines until they
reach the cutting blade (3).
− Pull the cutting line (8)one stage.
− Repeat this for the second line.
If too much line is fed out:
− Press in the two locking tabs (10.2).
− Remove the spool cap (10.3)and wind in the
spool until the line is at the desired length.
If the line has disappeared inside the spool:
− Press in the two locking tabs (10.2).
− Remove the spool cap (10.3)and wind out the
spool until the line is at the desired length.
Take care if the reel contains any residual nylon
line as it will have a tendency to uncoil rapidly. This
will lead to the line becoming tangled causing feed
problems.
− Pass the end of the line through the spool
apertures and position the reel over the spring.
− While holding the reel down and preventing it from spinning, relocate the cover ensuring the
tabs lock on both sides.
− Clean the line length trimming blade of grass to ensure a satisfactory cut is maintained.
− After adjusting the trimming line length exercise caution as you turn on the machine as the line
will be automatically cut to length to remove any excess line. This can result in debris being
ejected from the cutting head area as the excess line is removed by the line length trimming
blade.
