Though Aero-Flex® Line Blades are more durable than monofilament line,
they are not designed to withstand overgrown weeds, brush, or other hard
obstructions that would normally require a metal blade.
If wrapping does occur, stop engine and remove by hand or with a tool. Grab debris while
twisting the head in its reverse operating direction to unravel. *If Glider releases during use,
snap it back into place on the head. Do not install if tabs are damaged.
If the Glider unthreads from the cap, add 1 drop of Loctite 222 to bolt, make
sure bearing is attached, and tighten to 40”# (reverse thread) onto cap.
See aero-flex.com for video instructions
If Glider releases at the tabs and the entire cap releases, ensure proper
line installation and fully snap the cap back into place.
When trimming along solid ob-
structions, work in the direction
of the thrust.
Run at part throttle. Do not force
the line blades into abrasive ob-
jects. Cut with the outer tips of
the line blades.
