POTENTIAL HAZARD

WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Contact with cutting knife could cause
personal injury.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Be careful when removing spool. Avoid
contact with knife blade.
1. To remove empty spool, insert widest possible
blade screwdriver snugly into one of two
window slots on the spool hub. With screwdriver
pressed firmly into window slot, twist
screwdriver 1/4 turn. Spool will snap off
(Fig. 18).
2. To rewind empty spool, follow the steps below:
A. Hook one end of line into slot on spool,
allowing no more than 1/8" to protrude.
Push end of line all the way to the inner
end of slot. Wind line in direction of arrow
on spool in level rows between spool
flanges (Fig. 19).
Note: Trimmer will not function properly
if line is wound in the wrong
direction or if end of line protrudes
more than 1/8" at inner end of slot.
B. Do not wind line beyond outer edges of
spool; trimmer will not function
properly.
C. Keep line tight on spool by securing in
groove (Fig. 20).
Note: Before assembly, be sure to thoroughly
clean out drum area and visually
inspect for any damaged or worn parts.
D. The spool and core are keyed and must be
properly aligned when putting spool back
on. With line still retained in spool groove,
thread end of line through eyelet, place
spool onto keyed spool core, and push spool
inward until you hear it click (Fig. 21 &
22). Pull line to free line from groove in
spool. Unwind no more than three inches of
line from spool.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
An improperly installed spool could fly off
trimmer.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Contact with a thrown spool could cause
injury to operator or bystanders.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Be sure spool is fully secured before
operating the unit. Replace spool if it is
damaged or does not securely snap on core.
Keep bystanders and pets away from
trimming area.
3. If line should tangle or break at eyelet, refeed the
line through eyelet by pushing spool in as far as
it will go and threading line back through eyelet.
Or you may remove spool completely, refeed the
line through the eyelet, and reassemble spool to
trimmer.
