OPerAtInG InStrUctIOnS FOr BUMP Feed trIMMer
LIne Feed
Your trimmer uses .065” (1.65mm) diameter, rOUnd nylon line to cut grass and weeds quickly and easily. 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 being cut. As you use the trimmer, the string will get shorter due to wear. Gently bump the unit on the ground and the line will feed.
cAUtIOn: ALWAYS WeAr eYe PrOtectIOn.
cAUtIOn: Inspect area to be trimmed and remove any wire, cord, or string-like objects which could become entangled in the rotating line or spool. Be particularly careful to avoid any wire which might be bent outwardly into the path of the tool, such as barbs at the base of a chain link fence.

The tool is locked in the edger position.

2.Remove the bump cap by pulling up while depressing the two release tabs on the sides of the hub at the points shown in fig. 11.
nOte: It may be necessary to pull up on the cap while depressing the release tabs one side at a time.
3.Remove any broken cutting line, wrap the remaining line tight and reinsert spool into hub as follows.
a.Wind the line tight enough so that it is all below the edges of the flanges on the spool. If it extends past the flanges, it won’t fit into the hub.
b.Place the loose end of the cutting line through the gap in the spool flange as shown in fig. 12. (Either gap will do but try to leave yourself about 3 or 4 inches of line to work with.)
c.Holding the line in the gap, insert the end through the eyelet in the hub and slip the spool into the hub, as shown in fig. 13. Make sure the spring is still in place in the hub. If the spool does not slip into the hub easily, press gently and pull straight out on the cutting line that protrudes through the eyelet.
4.Once the spool drops into the hub, align the release tabs on the shroud with the slots in the hub as shown in fig. 14 and press the shroud into place. Be sure that both release tabs snap into place.
5.To replace the line on a spool, follow the steps below:
a.Locate, on the empty spool, one of the two small holes shown in fig. 15.
b.Insert the end of the line no more than 1/8" into the hole and begin winding the line around the spool (fig. 16).
Be sure to wind the line in the direction of the arrow in fig. 17. Do not overfill spool. The spool holds 20 feet (6m) of line.
c.Perform steps 3 and 4 above.
