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 ‘clattering’ 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 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.
