If the nylon cord does not feed out proceed as follows:
1.Release the control lever to run the engine idle and then squeeze the control lever fully. Repeat this procedure until the nylon cord feeds out to the proper length.
2.If the nylon cord is too short to feed out automatically with the above procedure, bump the knob of the nylon cutting head against the ground to feed out the nylon cord.
3.If the nylon cord does not feed out with procedure 2, rewind/replace the nylon cord by following the procedures described under “Replacing the nylon cord”.
Replacing the nylon cord
–First, stop the engine.
–Press on the housing latches inward to lift off the cover, then remove the spool.
–Hook the center of new nylon cord into the notch in the center of the spool, with one end of the cord extending about 80mm
–Wind all but about 100mm
–Mount the spool in the housing so that the grooves and protrusions on the spool match up with those in the housing. Keep the side with letters on the spool visible on the top. Now, unhook the ends of the cord from their temporary position and feed the cords through the eyelets to come out of the housing.
