Line Limiter Pin
After approximately 5 seconds, the line will be cut to the correct length by the line limiter pin as the motor reaches full speed. Make sure
the motor is up to full speed before trim­ming. If the noise of the cutting line being cut
cannot be heard, more line will need to be fed out.

S Allow themotor to stop completely; then, re-
start the motor and allow it to reach full speed.
S Repeat until you hear the line hitting against
the line limiter pin (do not repeat this proce-
dure more than 6 times). If problems are experienced with the auto­matic line feed, refer to the TROUBLE­SHOOTING TABLE.
To manually feed the nylon line:
S If required, the cutting line can be fed out
manually. S To operate, press and release manual line
