4.The spool will then become loose. Remove the spool and spring from the spindle.
5.Cut two 3m equal lengths of 2mm line. Thread the first line through the top hole, above the spool divider. Wind it in an
6.Leaving 15cm of line, lock each end into the slots on opposite sides of the spool.
7.Place the spring over the spindle. Insert each of the cutting lines through the eyelets in the cutting head assembly. Feed the line through the holes while lowering the spool.
8.Once the spool is in place, apply pressure on the spool, compressing the spring. Pull each end of the line sharply to unlock the line from the slots. Ensure both lines have disengaged the slots before proceeding. Continue to apply pressure to the spool and screw the spool (9) clockwise onto the spindle. Tighten the spool securely.
9.When operating for the first time after changing the spool of line ensure to test the assembly by running the line trimmer in a safe location. The line may not be fully extended so you may need to “bump” the head at full speed to feed the line to the correct length.
Power cable restraint
During the use of the line trimmer, the extension cord will continually be pulled as you move from one area to another.
A power cable restraint (1) support has been provided on the housing of the line trimmer to assist in preventing the electrical connection between the extension cord and the line trimmer plug being forced apart.
Note. The support is for the extension cord, and not the cable from the line trimmer.
To fit the extension cord to the support, make a loop in the extension cord and fit the loop into the curved recess at the back of the line trimmer. Push the loop downwards so it fits securely into the round cut away section.
