Cutting line / line feeding
Yourtrimmeruses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.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.Theadvancedautomaticlinefeedingmechanism
senseswhenmorecuttinglineisneededandfeedsand
trimsthecorrectlengthoflinewheneverit’srequired.Donot
bumpunitongroundinattempttofeedlineorforanyother
purposes.

tingthickorstalkyweeds,thelinefeedinghubmaybecome
cloggedwithsaporothermaterialandthelinewillbecome
