Installing The Cutting Line - Craftsman CMXGCAQ108493 Operator's Manual

INSTALLING THE CUTTING LINE

There are two installation points on the line plate. Each
point is 180 degrees apart. Always install two lines,
one opposite the other of the same length and weight
(diameter).
1. Insert the end of the cord into the side openings in the
line plate (see Figure 4).
2. Push the cord through until the end comes out the
center hole in the line plate. Adjust the cord ends so
the tips are of equal length.
3. Pull the cord under the loop and push the loop up into
the line plate groove above them (see Figure 5) and
then pull the cord ends tight.
! CAUTION
If the tips of the cutting cords are not of equal length,
it can cause unbalance of the cutting head and will
result in increased vibration and potential damage
to the cutting head.
Figure 6 illustrates the proper cord installation on the
line plate. It shows the line plate from a top view. The
cord ends should be of equal length and the same length
on each side. There are two installation points on the line
plate. Each point is 180 degrees apart. Always install
two cords, one opposite the other of the same length and
weight (diameter).
