THE CORRECT LINE TO USE

WARNING: Always use genuine Monoflail® replacement line. Do not use metal-reinforced line.

It is very important to use the correct size line. Line with a diameter of 0.60 in (1.52 mm) must be used on Model 105r; 0.080 in (2.03 mm) for Models 132r and 137r. The motor may overheat and fail if you use a larger line.

TO INSTALL NEW TRIMMING LINE, IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO REMOVE THE BUMP KNOB.
