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 spool
will automatically feed and trim a fresh length of line. Do not
bump unit on ground in attempt to feed line or for any other
purposes. 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.

f
nylon Monofilament Line. Do not use serrated or
heavier gauge line, as they will overload the motor and
