■ Cut a piece of cutting line approximately 3m long. Use
only 1.5mm diameter monofilament cutting line.
■ Insert the cutting line into the anchor hole in the upper
part of the spool. Wind the cutting line around the upper
part of the spool clockwise, as shown by the arrows on
the spool. Place cutting line in the slot on upper spool
flange, leaving about 15cm. extended beyond the slot.
Do not overfill. After winding the cutting line, there
should be at least 6.5mm between the wound cutting
line and the outside edge of the spool.
■ Replace the spool, and the spool cover. Refer to spool
replacement earlier in this manual.
STORING THE TRIMMER

storing.
■ Clean all foreign material from the trimmer.
■ Store it in a place that is inaccessible to children.
■ Keep away from corrosive agents such as garden
chemicals and salts.
■ Store and charge your batteries in a cool area.
Temperatures
temperature will shorten battery pack life.
■ Never store batteries in a discharged condition. Wait
for battery pack to cool and fully charge immediately.
■ Store the battery pack where the temperature is below
27˚C and away from moisture.
■ All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the
temperature, the quicker they lose their charge. If you
store your unit for long periods of time without using
it, recharge the batteries every month or two. This
practice will prolong battery pack life.
