venient method for replacing line and
ensuring optimum performance.
* Replacement spools are color-

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,
