REPLACING SPOOL / CLEARING JAMS AND TANGLED
LINES
•
Unplug the string trimmer.
•
Firmly push the tabs on both sides of the hub to release
it and remove along with the spool from the cutting head.
NOTE:The cutting line is quite springy and can be awkward
to handle.
•
Remove any broken line, wrap the remaining line tight
and re-insert spool into hub as follows:
a. Wind the line tight enough so that it is all below the edge
of the flange on the spool. If it extends past the flange,
it won't fit into the hub. Leave yourself 3 or 4 inches of
line to work with.
b. Make sure that two free ends of the line are secured in
the opposite gaps on the spool flange.
c. While holding the ends in the gaps, insert them through
the eyelets and slip the spool into the hub.Press gently
to ensure the spool is seated.
d. Pull straight out on the ends of the cutting line to release
them from the gaps.
•
Position hub over spring and align tabs with rectangular
openings. Press firmly on tabs and until hub snaps into
place.

direction of the arrow on the spool. Tightly wind it until
