5.4. Automatic Line Feed
The trimmer features an automatic line feed system. When the cutting line wears down, it will automatically extend more line as needed during operation. If the line does not feed, briefly tap the trimmer head on a hard surface while running (with caution and appropriate PPE) to advance the line.
5.5. Using the Plant Guard
The retractable plant guard can be deployed to create a barrier between the cutting line and delicate plants, trees, or other objects you wish to protect. Simply pull it down into position when needed.
