TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE PROBLEM Tool runs slowly. Automatic line feed does not feed more line. SOLUTION • Check that the spool housing can rotate freely. Carefully clean it if necessary. • Check that the cutting line does not protrude more than approximately 5-3/8 inches (136mm) from the spool. If it does, cut it off so that it just reaches the line trimmingblade. • If the tool still runs slowly, stop using the tool and take it to a service center. • More line is fed when the line shortens to approximately 3 inches (76.2mm). To determine if the line is not feeding, let line wear past this point. • Keep the tabs depressed and remove the spool from the spool housing in the trimmer head. • Ensure that the line is not crisscrossed on the spool as detailed in figure O. If it is, unwind the cutting line, then wind it back on the spool neatly so that the lines do not cross. • Inspect tracks at the bottom of spool for damage. If damaged, replace spool. •Read the code on the back of spool. If it reads "PA66" call customer service for a replacement. If it reads "ABS" this is not the issue. PROBLEM Automatic line feed does not feed more line. Overfeeding 11 SOLUTION • Pull the cutting line until it protrudes approximately 5-3/8 inches (136mm) from the spool. If insufficient cutting line is left on the spool, install a new spool of cutting line. • Align the tabs on the spool cap with the cut outs in the housing. • Push the spool cap onto the housing until it snaps securely into place. • If the cutting line protrudes beyond the trimming blade, cut it off so that it just reaches the blade. If the automatic line feed still does not work or the spool is jammed, try the following suggestions: • Carefully clean the spool and housing. • Remove the spool and check if the lever in the spool housing can move freely. • Remove the spool and unwind the cutting line, then wind it on neatly again. Replace the spool into the housing. • Ensure you are cutting with the tip of the line (5.25 inches (133.4mm) from the spool). Use the edge guide if needed to ensure proper space is maintained. • Ensure you are not exceeding a 10° angle as shown in figure J1.

PROBLEM
Tool runs slowly.
Automatic line feed does not
feed more line.
SOLUTION
• Check that the spool housing
can rotate freely. Carefully clean
it if necessary.
• Check that the cutting line
does not protrude more than
approximately 5-3/8 inches
(136mm) from the spool. If it
does, cut it off so that it just
reaches the line trimmingblade.
• If the tool still runs slowly, stop
using the tool and take it to a
service center.
• More line is fed when the line
shortens to approximately 3
inches (76.2mm). To determine if
the line is not feeding, let line
wear past this point.
• Keep the tabs depressed and
remove the spool from the spool
housing in the trimmer head.
• Ensure that the line is not
crisscrossed on the spool as
detailed in
figure O
. If it is,
unwind the cutting line, then
wind it back on the spool neatly
so that the lines do not cross.
• Inspect tracks at the bottom of
spool for damage. If damaged,
replace spool.
•Read the code on the back of
spool. If it reads “PA66” call
customer service for a replacement.
If it reads “ABS” this is not the issue.
PROBLEM
Automatic line feed does not
feed more line.
Overfeeding
SOLUTION
• Pull the cutting line until it
protrudes approximately 5-3/8
inches (136mm) from the spool.
If insufficient cutting line is left
on the spool, install a new spool
of cutting line.
• Align the tabs on the spool cap
with the cut outs in the housing.
• Push the spool cap onto the housing
until it snaps securely into place.
• If the cutting line protrudes
beyond the trimming blade, cut
it off so that it just reaches the
blade. If the automatic line
feed still does not work or the
spool is jammed, try the
following suggestions:
• Carefully clean the spool
and housing.
• Remove the spool and check if
the lever in the spool housing can
move freely.
• Remove the spool and
unwind the cutting line, then
wind it on neatly again.
Replace the spool into
the housing.
• Ensure you are cutting with
the tip of the line (5.25 inches
(133.4mm) from the spool).
Use the edge guide if needed to
ensure proper space is
maintained.
• Ensure you are not
exceeding a 10° angle as
shown in
figure J1
.
