Your Machine’s Cutting Cords
WARNING! Always turn the engine off when installing or changing cutting cords.
Important! Running the trimmer with only one cord installed, or cords installed at other than 180 degrees can cause excessive vibration and may damage the machine.
The following figures (Figures 9 and 10) illustrate how the cords are installed on the line plates. These figures show the line plates from a cross section point of view. It may look complicated, but once you’ve done it a couple of times, it’s easy. There are two sets of installation points on each line plate, 180 degrees apart. One set of holes is for larger cord (155 mil) and is marked with large arrows. The other set of holes accommodates smaller cord
(130 mil) and is marked with small arrows. Always install two cords opposite each other for the best performance.
