LINE REPLACEMENT
Pre-wound spools offer the most con-
venient method for replacing line and
ensuring optimum performance.
• Replacement spools are color-
coded to ensure use of the correct
spool with your unit. Be sure to use
the same color spool as the existing
spool.
NOTE: Always clear dirt and debris
from cutting head components when
performing any type of maintenance.
• Hold spool and unscrew cap by turn-
ing in the direction shown on top of
the cap.
• Remove line guide ring and spool.

Use a pre-wound spool or refill spool
with line. If using a pre-wound spool,
remove tape strip from line and spool.
REFILLING THE SPOOL WITH LINE
_.WARNING: Use only 0.080" (2
ram) diameter round line. Other
sizes and shapes of line will not ad-
vance properly and will result in im-
proper cutting head function or can
cause serious injury. Do not use other
materials such as wire, string, rope,
etc. Wire can break off during cutting
and become a dangerous missile that
can cause serious Injury.
1. Cut a length of 30 feet of 0.080" (2
mm) diameter round Craftsman

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT
_:_,WARNING: The trimmer head
will be spinning during most of this
procedure. Wear your protective
equipment and observe all safety pre-
cautions. After making mixture adjust-
ments, recheck idle speed. The trim-
mer head and any optional attach-
ments must not move/spin at idle
speed.
Carburetor adjustment is critical and if
done improperly can permanently
damage the engine as well as the car-
buretor. If you require further assis-
tance or are unsure about performing
this procedure, call our customer as-
sistance help line at 1-800-235-5878.
Old fuel, a dirty air filter, a dirty fuel fil-
ter, or flooding may give the impres-
sion of an improperly adjusted carbu-
retor. Check these conditions before
adjusting the carburetor.
The carburetor has been carefully set
at the factory. Adjustments may be
necessary if you notice any of the fol-
lowing conditions:
• The trimmer head and/or any option-
al attachment moves at idle. See

cedure.
