Note: If the line is not wound in the direction indicated
on the coil, the cutting attachment will not run correctly.
12. Feed the ends of the line into the two retaining slots
(Fig. 31).
13. Feed the ends of the line through the eyes in the coil
housing and place the coil with spring in the coil housing
(Fig. 24) Press the coil and coil housing together.
Hold coil and coil housing and simultaneously grip
