CUTTING LiNE

or

holdingWARNING:the trimmerDO. NOT grasp the exposed cutting line when picking up

A single 0.065-inch round cutting line is pre-installed on the trimmer. When the cutting line needs replacing, install a new pre-wound spool, Craftsman 71-85967.

EXTENDING THE CUTTING LiNE (Fig. 13 and 13a)

During operation, cutting lines shorten due to normal wear. For greater convenience and

efficiency, your trimmer has been equipped with a bump feed head that allows you to simply bump the trimmer head to extend the cutting lines while the trimmer is operating.

Cutting line will wear faster and require more feeding if the cutting or edging is done along sidewalks or other abrasive surfaces or heavier weeds are being cut.

1.While the trimmer is on and spinning, gently bump the spool housing on a firm surface (hard ground or sidewalk). This should release additional cutting line from the spool.

2.If no line is released, bump the trimmer head more sharply or try bumping it on a firmer surface.

3.If there is no change in the cutting line length, un-plug the trimmer's pigtail power cord from the extension cord. After the trimmer head stops rotating, gently pull at the cutting lines manually. Once the lines are pulled out (extended), plug the trimmer's pigtail power cord into the extension cord and resume cutting.

4..If the cutting line still does not feed from the

spool, the spool might be empty or the cutting line may be tangled or jammed on

the spool. Un-plug the trimmer's pigtail power cord from the extension cord.

After the trimmer head stops rotating, remove the spool (see steps

1 through 3 in "Removing the Spool" on page 20).

If the line is tangled or

jammed, untangle and replace the line (see

page 20). If the spool is empty, replace the

spool (see page 20-21 ).
