► From below, push the trimmer line up through the right
mounting hole and pull it back down through the left
mounting hole until it is even with the bottom of the arrow
(1).
► Hold the short end of the trimmer line firmly as you pull the
long end downward and then out through the notch in the
mowing head. Make sure the trimmer line is firmly seated
in the notch (2).
► Repeat the mounting process on the other side of the
mowing head with the second length of line.
► Cut the trimmer line so that it extends to the line limiting
blade.
NOTICE
Using the trimmer with overly long trimmer line increases the
load on the motor and reduces its operating speed. This may
result in overheating and damage to important components.
