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

"_-/ _ Spool
Use a pre-wound spool or refill spool
with line. If using a pre-wound spool,
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 senous injury.
1. Cut a length of 30 feet of 0.080" (2
mm) diameter round Craftsman
brand line.
2. Insert one end of line into center
cavity of empty spool. Ensure line
will feed into spool in the direction
shown on the spool (counterclock-
wise).
