equal length. Not installing all four cords or installing
cords of varying lengths will cause excessive vibration
and could damage the machine.
1. See Figure 2-5. Insert trimmer cord (A) into inlet
hole (B) and push it in until the end protrudes out
the other side (C) about 1/2 in (12.7 mm).

2. Repeat until all four cords are installed.
NOTE: The cord can only move through the cord head in
one direction. To remove an old cord the cord must be
pulled through the cord head.

Cutting Cord Tips

• Do not store cords in sunlight. UV light causes pre-
mature wear.
• Keep cords pliable by soaking them in room tem-
perature water for a few days before use.
• Replace cords one at a time and use old cord to
mark the position for new cord being installed.
•
Remove any cord broken off flush at the line plate
with needle nose pliers.
• Do not add additional cords to the head.
tional cords creates drag and may cause wrapping.
