STARTING AND STOPPING THE
TRIMMER
To Start the Trimmer,

trigger switch. Do not invert the trimmer/edger or place

CUTTING LINE AND FEEDING
(FIG 10)
this trimmer uses 0.065" (1.65mm) diameter nylon line.
During use, the tips of the cutting lines will become frayed
and worn. you may feed the cutting lines by either auto-
feed or Manual-feed.
CaUTION:
attempt to feed line or for any other purposes.
Feeding the Cutting line Automatically
when initially switching on the trimmer, a small length of
line is fed out. each time the trimmer is started, the line will
advance about 1/4".
you will hear a 'clattering' noise when the lines hit the line
cutter (l3). this is normal. after a few seconds the line will
be cut to the correct length and the noise will reduce as
the motor gains full speed. if the noise of the line being
cut can't be heard, more line will need to be fed out. to
feed more line, stop the trimmer completely; then restart,
allowing the motor to reach full speed. repeat above until
you hear the line hitting against the line cutter.
Feeding the Cutting line Manually (FiG 10)
if required, the cutting line can be fed out manually.
1.
turn off the trimmer and remove the battery.
2.
Press and release manual line feed button (l2).
3.
gently pull out the line (l1).
4.
repeat the step 2 and 3 until the cutting line is long
enough to reach the line cutter.
NOTE:
if too much line is fed out, remove the spool cap
(16-fig 1) and turn spool counterclockwise until the line is
at the desired length.
