Advancing Trimmer Line Replacing Trimmer Line

3. Clean grass and other debris from the

spool and spool housing using a brush

WARNING: Blade is sharp. To prevent serious injury, do not touch blade.

To advance new trimmer line, tap the line advance button on the ground while the trimmer is running (see Figure 4-9). 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 but- ton on the ground. This will allow trimmer 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 hap- pens, remove the spool and reroute the line out of the spool. Reinstall the spool to the trimmer head.

WARNING: To prevent serious personal injury, never use metal- reinforced line, wire, or rope, etc. These can break off and become a dangerous projectile.

CAUTION: Use of line other than specified could cause per- sonal injury or product failure.

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.
