CUTTING LINE
LINE FEEDING
	Your trimmer uses .065 in. (1.65 mm) diameter, ROUND nylon
	line to cut grass and weeds quickly and easily. During use, the tip
	of the nylon line will become frayed and worn and the special self
	feeding line hub will automatically feed and trim a fresh length of
	line. 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. The advanced
	automatic line feeding mechanism senses when more cutting line
	is needed and feeds and trims the correct length of line
	whenever its required. DO NOT BUMP unit on ground in attempt
7	to feed line or for any other purposes.
