Assembly and Line Loading
The AUTOCUT C 25-2 features the EasySpool™ system for efficient line management. It is designed to work with 2.4 mm (0.095") diameter cutting line.
Line Loading Procedure:
- Prepare Line: Cut the trimmer line to the appropriate length. For spool type A, use approximately 8 meters (26 ft). For spool types B or C, use approximately 4 meters (13 ft).
- Feed Line into Spool: Insert one end of the trimmer line into one of the eyelets on the spool.
- Wind Spool: Rotate the spool in the direction indicated to wind the line evenly onto it. Ensure the line is loaded neatly and securely.
- Insert Loaded Spool: Place the loaded spool into the mowing head casing. Align the line eyelets on the spool with the corresponding slots in the mowing head body.
Head Assembly and Operation:
The AUTOCUT C 25-2 mowing head is attached to the trimmer shaft. The cutting line is automatically fed out from the spool as it is used during operation. Ensure the deflector is correctly fitted to the trimmer unit before starting work. The approximate cutting diameter achieved with this head is 120 mm (5 inches).
