CUTTING LINE
LINE FEEDING
Your trimmer uses .065 in. (1.65 mm) diameter, ROUND nylon
line to cut grass and weeds quickly and easily. During use, the tip
of the nylon line will become frayed and worn and the special self
feeding line hub will automatically feed and trim a fresh length of
line. Cutting line will wear faster and require more feeding if the
cutting or edging is done along sidewalks or other abrasive
surfaces or heavier weeds are being cut. The advanced
automatic line feeding mechanism senses when more cutting line
is needed and feeds and trims the correct length of line
whenever its required. DO NOT BUMP unit on ground in attempt
to feed line or for any other purposes.
