(the spool should unwind in an anticlockwise direction). Pass
some line through the Feed Hole and place the spool into the
holder so the teeth on the spool contact with the triangle teeth
in the trimmer. Pull the line to take up any slack, replace the
feed cap, pressing the buttons in so that it locks into place.
Additional line can be fed in increments by pressing the feed button and pulling the line. Line
will be fed each time the trimmer is started and cut to length by the line blade.

FAQ 10.0
Where can I get more cutting line,
batteries and accessories?
www.cel-garden.com or ask your retailer.
Why does the line break?
Usually because of hard objects or wearing. Try
to avoid these objects. When cutting thick grass
take small cuts as the outer diameter of the
rotating line will cut more efficiently than the
inside.
The line is not cutting cleanly, why?
Most likely the cutting line has worn out, extend
some new line or replace used line, newer line
has more weight and sharper edges. Debris may
have entered the moving parts near the cutting
area, clear with a brush. Ensure a charged
battery.
The trimmer wont start, what’s wrong?
a)Check the battery is charged and properly
fitted, also make sure the triggers are working
correctly and both are being squeezed at the
same time. b)Remove the battery and check for
debris, clean accordingly.
c)The Lithium Ion battery has a protection circuit
to prevent it from completely discharging. The
battery will provide constant power then stop
rather than slowing down. Recharge fully.
Why does my trimmer stop sometimes?
See c) above.
Do I need to fully discharge the battery
before recharging it?
No the Li-Ion system has no memory effect so
you can charge it at any time. The charge will be
retained in storage for much longer than older
battery technology.
