Adjusting the trimmer string
The lawn trimmer has a partially automatic string lengthening system.
The trimmer string is adjusted automatically by means of centrifugal force and the spring
action.
Replacing the Trimmer Line
If you must replace the line spool or wind a new line, pull the power plug out of the
electrical outlet and proceed as follows:
Press the locking device in sideways on the cap of the hub (Fig. 4). Remove the cap of the
hub from the drive shaft. Remove the line spool from the drive shaft and either replace
this with a new line spool or wind new line onto the spool.
Thread approximately 110 mm of cutting line from one end of the spool through the hole
of the hub cap and approximately 150 mm of the cutting line through the hole located
across from it. Put the spool back on again and make sure that the line is not jammed.
Slide the cap of the hub onto the drive shaft until the locking device locks into place.
