WARNING
Use of line other than the original .080 in. monofilament cutting line could
cause serious personal injury or damage to the trimmer.
Follow these steps to replace the cutting line.
1. Release the trigger and allow the trimmer to coast to a stop.
2. Unplug the trimmer.
WARNING
Make sure the trimmer head stops rotating when you release the trigger.
Contact with a rotating trimmer head could cause personal injury.
3. Remove the retaining cap by turning it clockwise.
4. Remove the empty spool.
5. Clean the trimmer head thoroughly. Inspect the trimmer head for any
damaged or worn parts.
NOTE: Keep the spring attached to the spool. Remove any old
string remaining on the spool.
6. Cut two pieces of string, each being approximately 2.5 m long.
7. Insert the first string into the anchor hole in the upper part of the spool.
Wind the first string around the upper part of the spool counterclockwise,
as shown by the arrows on the spool. Place string in the slot on upper
spool flange, leaving about 152 mm extended beyond the slot. Do not
overfill. After winding the string, there should be at least 6 mm between
the wound string and the outside edge of the spool.
8. Repeat above step with second string, using the bottom part of spool.
Do not overfill.
9. Replace the spool and the spool retainer.
