REPLACE THE SPOOL OF NYLON LINE
1. Unplug the trimmer.
2. Remove the spool assembly from the trimmer. To do
so, hold the outer ribbed part of the assembly with one
hand, while pushing down and turning the spool head
with the other to unlock it. (Fig. 18 & Fig. 19) The spool
carrier and spool will now disassemble easily.
NOTE: There is a spring inside the spool head that
could easily be lost. Insure that it is put in a safe place.
3. Remove the clear plastic line retaining ring. Remove
any existing line from the spool.
4. Using 0.065" replacement line measure off approxi-
mately 14' of line. Double over the cutter line into two
equal lengths and place loop in slot of the spool
divider (Fig. 20).
5. Wind the line onto the spool by turning the spool. The
line should go on in the direction of the arrow (A) on
the spool (Fig. 21). Line should be wrapped tightly
around the spool. The line is wound with each half
separated by the divider. Tightly wind it until there is
about 6" of line left (Fig. 22).
