Replacing the nylon cord

WARNING: Make sure that the cover of the nylon cutting head is secured to the housing properly as described below. Failure to properly secure the cover may cause the nylon cutting head to fly apart resulting in serious personal injury.

Press inward on the housing latches and lift upward to remove the cover. Discard any of the remaining nylon cord.

Hook the middle of the new nylon cord to the notch located at the center of the spool between the 2 channels provided for the nylon cord. One side of the cord should be about 80 mm longer than the other side.

Wind both ends firmly around the spool in the direction marked on the head for left hand direction indicated by LH.

Wind all but about 100 mm of the cords, leaving the ends temporarily hooked through a notch on the side of the spool.

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.

Align the protrusion on the underside of the cover with the slots of the eyelets. Then push cover firmly onto the housing to secure it. Make sure the latches fully spread in the cover.
