Bump Feed Trimmer Line Feed
Your trimmer uses .065" (1.65 mm) diameter, round nylon
cutting line. During use, the tips of the nylon lines will
become frayed and worn. 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
beingcut.
As you use the trimmer, the cutting line will get shorter due
to wear. Gently bump the trimmer on the ground while
running at normal speed and the line willfeed.
NOTE: Extending cutting line beyond the 12" (305mm)
swath will negatively affect performance, runtime, and the
life of the trimmer due to potential of damaging the motor.
Doing so may also void thewarranty.
