the size of the string is critical in electric driven trimmers
it does have mass and the thicker string will over load the motor
stay with the recommended string size and keep to the recommended distance to the grass being cut
string line cutters work on the principle that the tip speed of the string is what does the cutting and that means that the first 1/2" of string cuts the grass
the rest back to the hub acts like a brake as it is dragged across the grass and slows the cutting speed and loads the motor
remember that the machine is designed to trim edges and not to cut down growth-- that is a job for heavier duty units
check if you can download this instruction manual for a 26cc Icon grass trimmer. You have not provided the model number of your trimmer but generally it should be similar to this.
It requires 40:1 fuel to oil ration.
Do not worry if you cannot load this manual as I have already given the information. Icon Line Trimmer ICPLT26 Operator Manual
I did a lot of searching for a manual but I guess Argos does not want their customers to know how to use their product. When you are use the trimmer, most rotate clockwise. You may find on the spool an arrow showing direction to wind line. Otherwise you will have to take it apart the trimmer and remember with direction the spool turns. Wind the string on the same direction turns. plus try a little wd40 on the line to keep it from sticking together. Cheers.
Hi,
I have the same trimmer and I fixed the problem for good by getting a shakespear line trimmer head to replace the original faulty design,it also has 4 line rather than 2 so it cuts better. It costs about $15.00
