Remington Power Tools BS1812A Advancing Trimmer Line, Replacing TRIMMER/EDGER Line, Using Edger

TRIMMER/EDGER OPERATION

ADVANCING TRIMMER LINE

WARNING:

Blade is sharp. To prevent seri- ous injury, do not touch blade.

To advance new trimmer/edger line, tap the line advance button on the ground while the trimmer/edger is running (See Figure 21). The blade attached to the cutting guard will cut the line to the proper length.

Follow the precautions below to ensure top line performance.

•Do not hold the line advance button on the ground. This will allow trimmer/edger line to constantly feed off the spool.

•Tap the line advance button only once to advance line. If more line is needed, wait a few seconds and tap again.

•Be sure to advance the line as it wears down. If you wait too long to advance new line, the existing line will wear down too short and can retract into the spool. If this happens, remove the spool and reroute the line out of the spool. Reinstall the spool to the spool housing.

REPLACING TRIMMER/EDGER LINE

WARNING:

To prevent serious personal in- jury, never use metal-reinforced line, wire, or rope, etc. These can break off and become a danger- ous projectile.

CAUTION:

Use of line other than specified could cause personal injury or product failure.

Removing the Spool

For replacement line, use a nylon monofila- ment line of 0.065 inch in diameter. You can purchase replacement line at most lawn and garden stores.

1.Press in the two locking tabs holding the spool cover to the spool housing (See Figure 22).

2.Remove the spool cover and spool from spool housing (See Figure 23). Note: If spool spring comes off of spool housing, replace spring into center of spool housing. Note: If installing replacement spool and line (P/N BRS65A), skip to step 8. Remove and discard any remaining line in the spool.

3.Clean grass and other debris from the spool and spool housing using a brush (See Figure 24).

4.Insert 1 inch of line through small hole at the base of spool (See Figure 25).

5.Evenly and tightly wind line around spool in the direction shown on bottom of spool. Continue winding until line is just below rim of spool. (See figure 26). Do not over fill. Overfilling can cause jams.

6.Cut the line. Keep tension on line so line does not unwind.

7.Insert cut end through eyelet in spool housing. (See Figure 27)

8.Replace spring and spool into spool hous- ing making sure line is not caught under spool. (See Figure 28)

9.Align tabs on spool cover with slots in spool housing. Replace spool cover onto spool housing and snap into place. (See Figure 29)
