Replacing trimmer line

Warning: Remove the battery pack from the trimmer/edger before inspecting, cleaning, or performing maintenance. A battery operated tool with the battery pack inserted is always on and can start accidentally.

The trimmer/edger is equipped with an easy reload trimmer head. It is not necessary to disassemble the head in order to replenish the trimmer line.

OREGON® recommends rewinding with

.080 in (2 mm) Platinum Gatorline™.
