LINE REPLACEMENT
Pre--wound spools offer the most convenient
method for replacing line and ensuring opti-
mum performance.
S Replacement spools are color--coded to en-
sure use of the correct spool with your unit.
Be sure to use the same color spool as the
existing spool.
NOTE
: Always clear dirt and debris from
cutting head components when performing
any type of maintenance.

direction shown on top of the cap.

line. If using a pre--wound spool, remove tape
strip from line and spool.
