LINE REPLACEMENT

Pre--wound spools offer the most convenient method for replacing line and ensuring opti- mum performance.

SReplacement spools are color--coded to en- sure use of the correct spool with your unit. Be sure to use the same color spool as the existing spool.

improper cutting head function or can cause se- rious injury. Do not use other materials such as wire, string, rope, etc. Wire can break off during cutting and become a dangerous missile that can cause serious injury.

1.Cut a length of 25 feet of 0.080” (2 mm) di- ameter round WEED EATER brand line.

Feed line in direction shown on spool.
