Manual line feed
U
To manually feed the nylon line
If required, line can be fed out manually. To operate, gen- tly pull on the line whilst at the same time alternately pressing and releasing the button, on the side of the
spoolholder. See fig U.
Do not depress the button more than three times. Excessive line will snag the line cutter and cause the trimmer to malfunction.

When refitting the spool cap
1.Keep all areas of the cap and spoolholder clean. Failure to do so may prevent the cap being securely located in the spoolholder.
2.Align the two latches on the cap with the two windows in the spoolholder, then press down into the locked position.
3.Ensure the two cap release latches are clearly visible and are fully engaged with the windows in the spool- holder.
4.Check that the cap is correctly fitted by trying to remove it without depressing the two latches.
