CUTTING LINE / LINE FEEDING

 

Your trimmer uses .065 inch (1.65 mm) diameter, ROUND

nylon line. During use, the tips of the nylon lines will become

frayed and worn and the special self feeding spool 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 itʼs required. DO

NOT BUMP unit on ground in attempt to feed line or for any other

purposes.

 

REPLACEMENT ACCESSORIES
