TROUBLESHOOTING
If your tool does not seem to operate
properly, follow the instructions below. If
this does not solve the problem, please
contact your nearest Sears Parts & Repair
Center.
WARNING: To avoid serious injury,
switch off and unplug the tool before
performing any maintenance.
Tool runs slowly
• Check that the cassette housing (12)
can rotate freely. Carefully clean it if
necessary.
• Check that the cutting line does not
protrude more than 4-3/8 in. from the
cassette. If it does, cut it off so that it
just reaches the line trimming blade.
Automatic line feed does not work
• Keep the tabs depressed and remove
the cassette from the cassette housing
in the trimmer head.
• Pull the cutting line until it protrudes
4-3/8 in. from the cassette. If
insufficient cutting line is left on the
spool, install a new spool of cutting
line.
• Align the tabs on the cassette with the
cut outs in the housing.
• Push the cassette 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 cassette and
housing.
• Remove the spool and check if the
lever in the cassette can move freely.
• Remove the spool and unwind the
cutting line, then wind it on neatly
again. Replace the spool into the
cassette.
