WARNING:
Before you inspect, clean or service the trimmer,
stop the engine.
Make sure that all moving parts have stopped.
Disconnect
the wire from the
spark plug.
HOW TO
REPLACE THE TRIMMER LINE
For the best performance, use a heavy
gauge (0.155" diameter) trimmer line. Cut
the length of the trimmer line to 21.5 inches.
Use the length guide, located on the shield,
to make sure the trimmer line is the correct
length. See Figure 16. Do not allow the
length of the lines to vary more than one
inch. This is important to make sure the trim-
mer head is balanced and does not vibrate.
IMPORTANT:
To extend the life of the trim-
mar line, keep the trimmer line moisL If not
kept moist, the nylon trimmer line will be-
come dry and brittle. Keep extra trimmer
line in a can of water. The line will then stay
flexible and easy to change. A flexible line
will also last much longer.
