How the automatic line feed works (F)
1. When initially switching on the trimmer, a small
length of line is fed out.
2. A ‘clattering’ noise will be heard when the two nylon
lines hit 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, allowing the
motor to reach full speed.
5. Repeat step 4. until you hear the lines 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.
