100mm of line and feed through slot in
spoolholder (K).
3. Re-fit spool into spoolholder. Check that the
spool is locked in position.
T
o replace nylon line on spool
1. Take approximately 5 metres of line line and
insert into one of the line lock holes in the spool
(L).
2. Wind line onto spool in the direction of the
arrows on the top of the spool. Care should be
taken to ensure that the line is neatly coiled on
the spool (L).
3. Leave approximately 100mm of line unwound
and feed through slot in spoolholder (K).
4. Replace spool into spoolholder.
Ensure spool is correctly fitted.

How the automatic line feed works (M)
1. When initially switching on the trimmer, a small
length of line is fed out.
2. A ‘clattering’ noise will be heard when the nylon
line hits 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.
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 line 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.
T
o manually feed the nylon line (N)
1. If required line can be fed out manually.
2. To operate, press and release manual line feed
button, whilst gently pulling on one of the lines
until the line reaches the line cutter.
3. When the required amount of line is fed out,
gently pull on the second line (there is no need
to press the manual line feed button again).
4. If the line extends past the line cutter, too much
line has been fed out.
5. If too much line is fed out, remove the spool cap
and click spool anti-clockwise until the line is at
the desired length.
