Automatic Line Feed
This line trimmer is equipped with Automatic Line Advancement which
automatically feeds the additional line to the correct length as it wears
down.
•To automatically advance the line, activate the on/off trigger for 2
seconds and allow the line trimmer to come to a complete stop. When
the head slows down the line will feed out and a “click” can be heard as
it strikes the blade on the safety guard. The line will have automatically
advanced approximately 5cm.
Repeat above step as required.
If the line does not automatically feed out, check if there is any tangles in
the line or if the line needs to be replenished. Refer to “Replacing the
spool/clearing jams and tangled lines” section and follow the
instructions as needed.
Manual Line Feed
•To manually advance the line, ensure the battery is removed and turn the
line trimmer upside down. Push the tab on the side of the cutter head and
then pull the end of line protruding from the spool.

5. USING THE LINE TRIMMER
PXLTS-180
WARNING! STONES, PIECES OF METAL AND OTHER
OBJECTS CAN BE THROWN OUT AT HIGH SPEED BY
THE CUTTING LINE.
WARNING! INSPECT THE AREA TO BE TRIMMED
AND REMOVE ANY WIRE, CORD OR STRING-LIKE
OBJECTS WHICH COULD BECOME ENTANGLED IN
THE ROTATING SPOOL & LINE.
1. Wear eye protection and stout shoes at all times while operating the line
trimmer.
2. Hold the trimmer with both handles for best control and balance.
3. Do not push the line against hard material (rocks or concrete) during
cutting as this may result in damaged line.
4. Never use the line trimmer without its safety devices.
5. Do not cut grass that is wet (The best results are achieved on dry grass).
6. Wait until the line trimmer reaches full speed before cutting the grass.
7. Keep the line trimmer away from hard objects in order to avoid
unnecessary wear to the line.
8. Several passes will be
required to cut long grass as
shown.
9. To prevent the line from
breaking ensure you
approach the edge/object
slowly.
10. Watch out for kickbacks in
the event of impact with hard objects.
11. After finishing the cutting operation, keep the head close to ground
level, release the switch and allow the motor to come to a complete
standstill. Remove battery and place the line trimmer on the ground.
12. Keep ventilation slots of the trimmer clean at all times. Periodically
clean out the grass from the cutting head and the rim of the safety
guard to ensure efficient operation at all times.
WARNING! DO NOT CONTINUALLY TAP, BUMP OR
HOLD THE CUTTER HEAD ON THE GROUND AS THIS
MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE SPOOL HOLDER
OR OVERLOAD THE UNIT.
Trimming
Move the line trimmer from
side to side as you walk
forward, holding it at an angle
of approx. 30° (Light cuts are
better than heavy cuts as they
allow the cut grass to fall away
from the cutting head).
Use only the tip of the cutting line to do the trimming especially near walls
and fences. Trimming with the side of the cutting line may overload the
motor, wear out the line faster, and break the line more often.
Edging
Place the Edging Guide along the
ground and slid the line trimmer
along the edge of the footpath,
driveway etc.
