CLEARING JAMS AND TANGLED LINE (FIGURES N, O, P)
WARNING: Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any assembly,
adjustments or changing accessories. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the appliance accidentally. From time to time, especially when cutting thick or stalky
weeds, the line feeding hub may become clogged with sap or other material and the line will
become jammed as a result. To clear the jam, follow the steps listed below.
