Rewinding the Spool with Line

If you wish to rewind the spool yourself, replace with a nylon cutting line that is 0.05” diameter and 30-feet long. Use of heavier lines could overload and damage your grass trimmer.

To rewind trimmer line onto the spool:

1.Remove the empty spool from the grass trimmer following the instructions on page 7.

2.Cut the new nylon cutting line to the exact length.

3.Orient the two (2) holes on the bottom of the hub with Slot “A” on the line retainer. (Fig. 12)

7.When you have completely pulled the cutting line through the spool, hold the spool in your hand so that your thumb and fingers can be used as guides when winding the cutting line. Rotate the hub counter-clockwise until the line is wound around the spool. (Fig. 17) Make sure that you leave about 6-inches of the line on each side for the spool to function properly.
