from the tool.
Tool runs slowly
Check that the spool housing can rotate freely.

Automatic line feed does not work
Keep the tabs depressed and remove the
spool cover from the spool.

slightly until it is seated.
Align the tabs on the spool cover with the
holes in the housing.
Push the cover onto the housing until it snaps
securely into place.

trimming blade, cut it off so that it just reaches
the blade.
If the automatic line feed still does not work,
try the following suggestions:

Remove the spool and check if the lever can
move freely.
Remove the spool and unwind the cutting line,
then wind it on neatly again as described
above. Replace the spool as instructed.
