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 unplug from power source.
- 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 bro-
ken 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, re-
wind it and insert the line ends through the eyelets in the
spool hub.
- Press the spool 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 retainer back on, insert the cord into the
outlet and turn the tool on. In a few seconds or less you'll
hear the line being cut automatically to the proper length.
