    摘要: A filament vegetation trimmer, of the type wherein a supply of filament (28) is stored above the slinger head (14) and fed out through a longitudinal feed passage (18) for radial rotation with the slinger head, is provided with a feed mechanism (12) for selectively releasing incremental amounts of fresh filament from the storage site. The feed mechanism (12) comprises a storage spool (32) and indexing means (70) for permitting controlled quantities of the filament (28) to be drawn from the spool (32) under the centrifugal force exerted on the filament during operation. The feed control means (12) is deployed in an auxiliary handle (30) and is configured to permit actuation by thumb pressure to enable an operator to release fresh filament without interruption of the trimming process.
