Quick Start Guide

ENGLISH
• Lift the spool (17) approximately 6mm (
1
/4")
from the spool housing (12), while pulling the
cutting line (5). 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.
• To replace the spool, rotate as necessary
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
• Disconnect the power supply and remove
the cover, as previously described.
• Lift out the spool (17) completely, holding the
coiled cutting line in place to prevent it
unravelling from the spool (Fig. 7).
• Carefully unwind the cutting line (5) from the
spool until any crossed or trapped loops are
cleared. Rewind the cutting line evenly, in the
direction of the arrows (16) 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 (14) 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.
Spool jammed
• Remove the spool cover and the spool,
as previously described.
• Remove any dirt or grass that may have

spool housing.
