CLEAN UNIT AND LABELS
WARNING:
To prevent injury, shut off and
unplug the unit before cleaning or performing
any maintenance.
Do not use any strong detergents on the plastic housing
or the handle. They can be damaged by certain
household cleaners that contain aromatic oils such as
pine and lemon, and by solvents such as kerosene.
Wipe off any moisture with a soft cloth.
• Clean the unit and labels using a damp cloth with a
mild detergent.
• Wipe off the unit with a clean dry cloth.
• Keep air vents free from debris at all times.
SERVICING OF DOUBLE INSULATED UNITS
This unit is double-insulated. In a double-insulated
unit, two systems of insulation are provided instead of
grounding. No grounding means is provided on a
double-insulated unit, nor should a means for grounding
be added to this unit.
Servicing a double-insulated unit requires extreme care
and knowledge of the system, and should be done only
by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a
double-insulated unit must be identical to the parts they
replace. Refer any repair to an authorized service dealer.
A double-insulated unit is marked with the words
"DOUBLE INSULATION" or "DOUBLE INSULATED."
LINE INSTALLATION FOR THE
RAPIDREWIND™ HEAD
The trimming line in the RapidRewind Head may be
replaced by two different methods.
• Winding the existing reel with new line
• Installing a prewound reel
TO INSTALL NEW TRIMMING LINE, IT IS NOT
NECESSARY TO REMOVE THE BUMP KNOB.
The correct line to use
WARNING:
Always use Craftsman® trimmer
replacement line. To avoid injury, never use
metal-reinforced line, wire, or rope, etc..
These can break off and become a dangerous
projectile.
It is very important to use the correct size line. Use line
with a diameter of 0.080 inch (2.03 mm). The unit may
overheat and fail if you use a size other than specified.

NOTE: Before installing new trimming line onto the
existing reel, remove any old line from the RapidRewind

holes (See Figs. 15 and 16 for location of holes).
1. Line up the arrow on the reel with the arrow on the
reel housing (Fig. 14).
NOTE: Do not wind the reel before the second line is
installed into the reel.
WARNING:
Always use the correct line length
when installing trimming line on the unit. If
longer line is used than specified in this manu-
al, the line may not release properly.
2. Insert 10 feet (3 m) of trimming line into one of the
two eyelets and push it up through the line loading
hole in the reel (Fig. 15). Do not bend the line when
