Setup

The Oregon 19-005 Gatorline is designed for quick and easy loading into compatible trimmer heads. These lines are pre-cut to 18-inch lengths, simplifying the replacement process.

1. Identify Trimmer Head Type: Ensure your trimmer head is compatible with pre-cut line pieces and the .155-inch diameter.
2. Remove Old Line: If applicable, remove any remaining old trimmer line from the head.
3. Insert New Line: Simply push the pre-cut Gatorline pieces into the designated slots on your trimmer head. The design aims to prevent tangling and incorrect winding.
4. Secure Line: Ensure the line pieces are securely fastened in the trimmer head before operation.

For optimal performance and to prevent brittleness, it is recommended to soak the trimmer line in water prior to use. This can be done by placing the line pieces in a sealed bucket of water. This process helps maintain the line's flexibility and durability, potentially extending its lifespan during operation.

Operating

The Oregon Gatorline Square Trimmer Line is suitable for various cutting tasks, from shorter grass to thicker, taller grass and light brush. Its square profile is designed to provide a clean and efficient cut.

• Grass Trimming: Effective for general grass trimming and edging.
• Thicker Vegetation: The commercial-grade co-polymer material and square shape enhance its ability to cut through thicker grass and light brush more effectively than standard round lines.
• Safety Precautions: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including eye protection, long pants, and sturdy footwear, when operating a string trimmer. Keep bystanders at a safe distance.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance of your trimmer line can significantly extend its life and maintain cutting efficiency.

• Pre-soaking: As mentioned in the setup, soaking the line in water before use helps prevent brittleness and increases flexibility, leading to longer-lasting performance. Store unused line in a cool, damp environment if possible.
• Inspect Line: Regularly inspect the line for wear, fraying, or damage. Replace worn pieces promptly to maintain cutting effectiveness and prevent potential issues.
• Clean Trimmer Head: Keep the trimmer head clean from grass clippings and debris to ensure smooth operation and proper line feeding.

Troubleshooting

While the Oregon Gatorline is designed for durability, certain issues may arise during use.

• Line Breaking Frequently:
  • Ensure the line was pre-soaked in water to improve flexibility.
  • Check for obstructions or hard surfaces (e.g., rocks, concrete) that may be causing excessive wear.
  • Verify that the trimmer head is clean and free from debris that could pinch or damage the line.
• Ineffective Cutting:
  • Confirm the line is properly installed and secured in the trimmer head.
  • Inspect the line for excessive wear or dullness; replace if necessary.
  • Ensure the trimmer is operating at the correct RPM for optimal cutting.
