How do I replace the cutting line?

Can I use this trimmer for heavy-duty tasks like cutting thick brush?

What maintenance is required for this trimmer?

Troubleshooting

Trimmer does not start

Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check if the safety lock-off switch is engaged.

Cutting line not feeding automatically

Check if the spool is correctly loaded and if the line is tangled. Manually advance the line by tapping the trimmer head lightly on the ground while in operation, or refer to the manual for manual line advance instructions.

Poor cutting performance

Check if the cutting line is worn down or if the trimmer head is clogged with grass. Clean the head and ensure the line is at an appropriate length. For thicker grass, you may need to make slower passes.

Battery not charging

Ensure the battery and charger contacts are clean. Try a different compatible 18V battery or check if the charger is properly plugged into a working power outlet.
