See Fig. P INSTRUCTION

1. Automatic line feed system

When initially switching on the trimmer, a small length of line is fed out. Each time the tool is started from rest it will advance about 0.25 inches of trimmer line. A ‘clattering’ noise will be heard when the lines hit the Line Cutter. DO NOT BE ALARMED. This is quite normal. After about 5 seconds the line will be cut to the correct length and the noise will reduce as the motor gains full speed. If the noise of the line being cut can’t be heard, more line will need to be fed out. To feed more line, it is first necessary to allow the trimmer to stop completely; it must come to a complete rest, then restart, allowing the motor to reach full speed. Repeat above until you hear the line hitting against the Line Cutter.

(See Fig. L) Your trimmer is equipped with a Command Feed System. For efficiently feeding the line, just press the command feed button while the machine is running until you hear the ‘clattering’ noise of the line cutting. The motor will shut off when pressing the Command Feed button and will restart when releasing the button. During that process the line will automatically feed additional line for cutting.

3. Manually feeding the line (See Fig. M)

Turn off the trimmer and remove the battery. If required, line can be fed out manually. To operate, press and release manual Line Feed Button, while gently pulling out the line until it is long enough to reach the Line Cutter. If the line extends past the Line Cutter, too much line has been fed out. If too much line is fed out, remove the Spool Cap and turn Spool counter-clockwise until the line is at the desired length.

4. Manually winding the line

( See Fig. O1, O2, O3, O4) Take approximately 10ft (3m) of line. Insert 5/8 inch (15mm) of line into the Spool holes and wind line in the direction of the arrows on the top of the Spool. Leave approximately 4 inches (100mm) of line unwound and place into the cleat. Ensure that the line is neatly coiled on the Spool. Failure to do so will impair the efficiency of the automatic line feed. Then fit the Spool as shown in Fig. N1, N2, N3 MAINTENANCE After use, disconnect the battery from the tool and check for damage. Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance. There are no user serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use water or chemical2 in 1 Cordless Trimmer/Edger EN
