How to wind new line onto an empty
spool (Fig. 6 & 7)
6
• A maximum of 10 metres of new cutting
line can be wound onto the empty spool.
The spool has an ‘Indicator’ to help you
avoid winding an excessive quantity of
cutting line on the spool, as too much will
prevent the automatic feed system from
functioning.
• Remove any remnant of old cutting line
from the spool (19).
• Push the end of the new cutting line into
one of the two retaining holes (21) provided
in the spool (19) and insert 20mm.
• Bend the cutting line over, pulling it
through the adjacent ‘L’ shaped slot.
The cutting line should now be firmly
anchored to the spool and you may
proceed to wind it on in the direction of
the arrow (20).
• Take time to wind the cutting line on
neatly, in layers. Do not criss cross.
• When you have wound on sufficient
cutting line, temporarily park it in one of
the ‘L’ shaped slots to prevent the spool
unravelling, ensuring you leave a
minimum of 9cm (3.5") protruding.
• Fit the spool and spool cover (15) to the
spool housing as described for fitting a
new spool.
Care and maintenance
• For best performance, please keep the cutting
line, spool and air slots in the trimmer body
clean. Use a dry brush or cloth to remove grass,
sap or other dirt.
• Plastic parts may be cleaned by using a mild
soap and a cloth dampened with hot water.
Do not use any type of detergent, cleaner or
solvent which might contain chemicals which
could seriously damage the plastic. Do not spray
your trimmer with water.
• Self lubricating bearings are used in your trimmer,
therefore, lubrication is not required.
Fault finding
Before checking your trimmer for any faults,
disconnect it from the mains.
• If the trimmer will not start, check that the power
cord is properly connected. If this does not work,
check your power point. Finally, check the fuse
and wiring on the cable extension plug (UK only).
• If the automatic line feed fails to operate, it could
be for one of the following reasons:
Line too short or line jammed on spool
• Disconnect your trimmer from the
power supply.
• Remove the spool cover (15) by pushing
both tabs (16) inwards and upwards (Fig. 4).
• Lift the spool (19) approximately 6mm (
1
/4")
from the spool housing (17), while pulling the
cutting line (9). This will allow you to lengthen
the line while clearing any line jammed inside
the spool. Ensure there is a minimum of 9cm
(3.5") protruding from the spool housing.
• Rotate the spool as necessary to fully seat
the spool and replace the cover by aligning
both tabs on the cover with the slots in the
spool housing and push into place. Ensure
that both tabs are securely located.
Line still jammed on spool or broken inside
spool housing
• Disconnect the power supply and remove
the cover, as previously described.
• Lift out the spool (19) completely, holding the
coiled cutting line in place to prevent it
unravelling from the spool (Fig. 7).
• Carefully unwind the cutting line (9) from the
spool until any crossed or trapped loops are
cleared. Rewind the cutting line evenly, in the
direction of the arrow (20) on the spool.
• Temporarily park the cutting line end in one
of the ‘L’ shaped slots to prevent the spool
unravelling. Ensure you leave a minimum of
9cm (3.5") protruding.
• Turn the lever (22) backwards and forwards
to ensure it operates freely.
• Remove any dirt or grass that may have
collected inside the spool housing and cover.
• Feed the end of the line through the eyelet
and then push the spool into the centre drive
shaft while pulling the free end of the line to
release it from the ‘L’ shaped slot. To fully
seat the spool, rotate as necessary, taking
care not to trap the line underneath the
spool, and making sure that there is a
minimum of 9cm (3.5") of line protruding from
the spool housing.
• Finally, replace the cover as previously
described.
