Installing the trimming line

After you install cutting cord, and before trimming, engage
the cutting head with the engine running to spin the new
cord for a few seconds so they pull tight and are set.
1. Insert the ends of the cord into the side opening in the
line plate (see Figure 10).
2. Push the cord through until the ends come out the
center opening in the line plate. Adjust the cord ends so
they are even.
3. Pull the ends of the cord under the loop and push the
loop up into the line cord ends plate groove above them
(see Figure 11) and then pull the ends tight.
