8.When there is approximately 150mm of line left, lock one of the lines into one of the line location notches in the spool head and the other into the opposing notch.
9.With the spring fitted onto the shaft of the spool holder insert the spool back into the holder. As you insert the spool, thread the lines through the eyelets and pull firmly to disengage from the notch in the spool.
Note. When inserting the spool into the housing, the spool may need to be rotated slightly so as to locate into the housing. Before the spool is fully inserted into the housing, ensure the lines are free of the notches.
10.Once the spool is fully inserted and the lines are fully through the eyelets, pull firmly on each line to disengage the lines from the spool notches. Ensure the lines are fully clear of the spool notches and the line is passing through the eyelets directly to the spool.
11.To install the spool, line and housing, refer to ‘Fitting the spool’ section of this manual.
Note. On start up test the operation of the bump feed to ensure the line feeds correctly.
CAUTION. After changing the line spool, run the petrol line trimmer under no load for at least a minute to make sure that the line and the tool are both operating correctly. Use only the line spool as recommended by the manufacturer.
WARNING. Never use steel threads and/or three teeth blade other than those provided by the manufacturer. Always use tools in perfect condition, free of damage.
