Double Auto Feed System

How the automatic line feed works (F)

1.		When initially switching on the trimmer, a small length
		of line is fed out.
2.		A ʻclatteringʼ noise will be heard when the two nylon
		lines hit 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 or edging.
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
line cutter
		motor to reach full speed.
5.		Repeat step 4. until you hear the lines 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.
