REPLACING SPOOL / CLEARING JAMS AND TANGLED
LINES
From time to time, especially when cutting thick or stocky
weeds, the line feeding hub may become clogged with sap
or other material and the line will become jammed as a
result. To clear the jam, follow these steps.
- Turn off the trimmer and remove the battery.
- Press the release tabs on the line spool retainer and
remove the cover by pulling it straight off.
- Lift the spool of nylon line out of the hub and clear any
broken line or cutting debris from the spool area.
- In case of jams and tangled line, unwrap about one foot
(30cm) of line to ensure that it is undamaged. If it is OK,
rewind it and insert the line ends through the eyelets in the
spool hub. Pull the line through the hole to maintain tension
while placing the spool down in to the hub with the notched
side exposed.
- Press the spool cover down GENTLY and rotate it until you
feel it drop into place. (When in place, the spool will freely
turn a few degrees left and right.)
- Snap the spool cover back on, insert the battery and turn
the tool on. In a few seconds or less you'll hear the line
being cut automatically to the proper length.
CAUTION: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in
contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can
damage, weaken or destroy plastic.
Make sure the battery is detached from the unit, then use
only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let
any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the
tool into a liquid.
Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain agents which
greatly accelerate the corrosion of metals Do not store the
tool on or adjacent to fertilizers or chemicals.
