■REFILLING TRIMMING LINE (MA1)
1. For replacement line, use a diameter of .095in
(2.4mm). The spool is capable for a line upto
20ft (6m) on the 4” head. Avoid using a larger
line as it may cut down the trimming
performance.
For safety reasons, do not use
metalreinforced line.
2. Pinch the slotted area on the both sides of the
spool housing to unhook the bottom cap.
3. Take out the spool and pull off the old line. Fold
new line so that one half line is 4.7in.(12cm)
shorter than another half.
4. Wind up the line in the correct direction as
indicated on the spool.
5. Hook each end of the line in the slot on the edge
of the spool, and then put the ends through the
eyelets on the housing. Make sure that the
spring and the washers are in place.
6. While holding the spool against the housing, pull
the line ends to release them from the slot.
7. Line up the slot on the bottom cap with the hook
on the housing, press the cap against the
housing until it clicks.
■GEAR CASE (MA2)
•The reduction gears are lubricated by
multipurpose, lithium-based grease in the gear
case. Supply new grease every 25 hours of use
or more often depending on the job condition.
•Remove the cutter holders before installing new
grease to arrange for old grease to exit.
