LINE REPLACEMENT
Pre-wound spools offer the most con-
venient method for replacing line and
ensuring optimum performance.
• Replacement spools are color-
coded to ensure 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.
• Hold spool and unscrew cap by turn-
ing in the direction shown on top of
the cap.
• Remove line guide ring and spool.
NOTE: When removing and/or instal-
ling spool, ensure dust cup remains
installed over shaft.

remove tape strip from line and spool.
REFILLING THE SPOOL WITH LINE
,_WARNING: Use only 0.080" (2
mm) diameter round line, Other
sizes and shapes of line will not ad-
vance properly and will result in im-
proper cutting head function or can
cause serious injury. Do not use other
materials such as wire, string, rope,
etc. Wire can break off during cutting
and become a dangerous missile that
can cause serious injury.
1. Cut a length of 30 feet of 0.080" (2
