Trimmer line with very low moisture content is brittle and inflexible. Wind- ing dry line on a trimmer head can be very difficult. After soaking in water, the same line will become very flexible and far tougher, and service life will be significantly extended.
Refer to the Line Chart (above) for the proper amount of line. NOTE: Operating with trimmer line of uneven length will cause excessive vibration. Always make sure the line is wound evenly and trimmed to equal lengths from the eyelets.

To advance line: With the engine off, loosen the bottom knob a few turns in the direction of rotation. Grasp the trimmer head in both hands. Rotate the bottom of the spool clockwise and pull the line through the eyelets. Re-tighten the knob before operating the trimmer.
With the knob facing away from you, wind the line counterclockwise. Hook the line into line saver slots in the spool housing. NOTE: Operating with trimmer line of uneven length will cause excessive vibration. Always make sure the line is wound evenly and trimmed to equal lengths from the eyelets.
