Craftsman 74528 Troubleshooting, Tool runs slowly, Automatic line feed does not work

TROUBLESHOOTING

If your tool does not seem to operate properly, follow the instructions below. If this does not solve the problem, please contact your nearest Sears Parts & Repair Center.

WARNING: To avoid serious injury, switch off and unplug the tool before performing any maintenance.

Tool runs slowly

•Check that the cassette housing (12) can rotate freely. Carefully clean it if necessary.

•Check that the cutting line does not protrude more than 4-3/8 in. from the cassette. If it does, cut it off so that it

just reaches the line trimming blade.

Automatic line feed does not work

•Keep the tabs depressed and remove the cassette from the cassette housing in the trimmer head.

•Pull the cutting line until it protrudes 4-3/8 in. from the cassette. If insufficient cutting line is left on the spool, install a new spool of cutting line.

•Align the tabs on the cassette with the cut outs in the housing.

•Push the cassette onto the housing until it snaps securely into place.

•If the cutting line protrudes beyond the trimming blade, cut it off so that it just reaches the blade.

If the automatic line feed still does not work or the spool is jammed, try the following suggestions:

•Carefully clean the cassette and housing.

•Remove the spool and check if the lever in the cassette can move freely.

•Remove the spool and unwind the cutting line, then wind it on neatly again. Replace the spool into the cassette.
