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 line hub 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.

base of cassette becomes dislodged,
replace in correct position before
inserting new spool into cassette.
• Remove any dirt and grass from the
cassette and housing.
• Take the new spool and push it onto
the boss (f) (figure 15) in the cassette.
Rotate the spool slightly until it is seated.
• Unfasten the end of one of the cutting
lines and guide the line into one of the
eyelets (g) (figure 15). The line should
protrude approximately 4-3/8 inches
(111mm) from the cassette.
• Unfasten the end of the other cutting
line and guide the line into the other
eyelet. The line should protrude
approximately 4-3/8 inches (111mm)
from the cassette.
• Align the cassette tabs (a) with the slots
(h) in the housing (figure 14).
• Push the cassette onto the housing
until it snaps securely into place.
CAUTION: To avoid tool damage, If the
cutting lines protrude beyond the trimming
blade (i), cut them off so that they just
reach the blade (figure 14).
