will make contact with area being worked 
on. Do not force the line. The edging wheels 
help protect the unit and keep the unit from 
contacting the ground. Take extra caution 
while edging, as objects can be thrown from 
the trimmer line.
AUTOMATIC LINE FEED SYSTEM
When initially switching on the trimmer, a 
small length of line is fed out. Each time the 
tool is started from rest it will advance about 
0.25 inches of trimmer line.
A ‘clattering’ noise will be heard when 
the lines hit the Line Cutter. DO NOT BE 
ALARMED this is quite normal. After about 
5 seconds the line will be cut to the correct 
length and the noise will reduce as the motor 
gains full speed.
If the noise of the line being cut can’t be heard, 
more line will need to be fed out.
To feed more line, it is first necessary to allow 
the trimmer to stop completely; it must come 
to a complete rest, then restart, allowing the 
motor to reach full speed.
Repeat above until you hear the line hitting 
against the Line Cutter. 
TO MANUALLY FEED THE LINE 
(See Fig. M1)
Turn off the trimmer and remove the battery.
If required, line can be fed out manually.
To operate, press and release manual Line Feed 
Button (17), while gently pulling out the line 
until it is long enough to reach the Line Cutter.
If the line extends past the Line Cutter, too 
much line has been fed out.
If too much line is fed out, remove the Spool 
Cap and turn Spool counter-clockwise until the 
line is at the desired length.
TO REMOVE THE SPOOL CAP COVER 
(See Fig. M2)
Press and hold in the two Cap Release Latches 
(19) (See Fig. M2).
Pull the Spool Cap Cover (18) away from the 
Cutting Head (21).  Keep the Spool Cap Cover 
and the inside of the Cutting Head clean from 
debris.  To replace the Spool Cap Cover, press 
it firmly onto the Spool Holder. Ensure that it 
is correctly connected by trying to remove it 
without depressing the two Cap Release Latches.
REPLACE THE TRIMMER LINE AND 
SPOOL (See Fig. M3).
Turn off the trimmer and remove the battery.
Remove Spool Cap Cover.
For your convenience it is recommended you 
buy replacement spools with the trimmer line 
preinstalled. You can order your Free Spools 
for Life WORX spools at www.worx.com or by 
calling 1-866-354-WORX(9679).
Remove the old Spool from Spool Holder. 
Clear any broken line or cutting debris from 
the spool area. Pull the line from the new 
replacement Spool through the eyelet of the 
Spool Holder. Place new Spool into the holder 
with the cut out areas of the Spool facing 
inward or down. When installed into the 
Spool Holder, the smooth side of the 
Spool should be visible. 
Release line from cleat on the Spool.
Refit the Spool Cap Cover.
TO MANUALLY WIND LINE 
(See Fig. N1-N4)
Take approximately 10ft (3m) of line. Insert 
5/8”(15mm) of line into the Spool holes and 
wind line in the direction of the arrows on the 
top of the Spool.
Leave approximately 4” (100mm) of line 
unwound and place into the cleat. 
Ensure that the line is neatly coiled on 
the Spool. Failure to do so will impair the 
efficiency of the automatic line feed.
Then fit the Spool as described above in “Rep 
lace the trimmer line and Spool”
