8.Take approximately 15 feet (4.57 m) of new trimming line. Insert one end of the line through one of the two holes in the inner reel, Figure 30. Pull the line through the inner reel until only about 4 inches are left out.

9.Insert the end of the line into the open hole in the inner reel and pull the line tight to make the loop as small as possible, Figure 30.

10.Before winding, split the line back about 6 inches.

NOTE: Failure to wind the line in the direction indicated will cause the cutting attachment to operate incorrectly.

12.Insert the ends of the line into the two holding slots, Figure 31.

13.Insert the ends of the line through the eyelets in the outer spool and place inner reel with spring inside the outer spool, Figure 32. Push the inner reel and outer spool together. While holding the inner reel and outer spool, grasp the ends and pull firmly to release the line from the holding slots in the reel.
