3.Lift the spool of nylon line out of the hub and clear any broken line or cutting debris from the spool area.
4.Unwrap about one foot (30 cm) of line and inspect it for damage. Cut away and discard any damaged line. If line is okay rewind it and insert the line end through the eyelet in the spool hub as shown in Figure 11. Pull on the line end to keep it taut while placing the spool down into the hub, as shown in Figure 11.
5.Press the spool down GENTLY and rotate it until you feel it drop into place. (When in place, the spool will turn a few degrees left and right freely). Take care to keep the line from becoming trapped under the spool.
6.Snap the hub cover and spring back on and turn the tool on. In a few seconds or less you’ll hear the nylon line being cut automatically to the proper length.

CUTTING LINE
Your trimmer uses only .065” (1.65 mm) diameter, ROUND nylon line to cut grass and weeds quickly and easily. During use, the tip of the nylon line will become frayed and worn and the special self feeding line hub will automatically feed and trim a fresh length of line. Cutting line will wear faster and require more feeding if the cutting or edging is done along sidewalks or other abrasive surfaces or heavier weeds are being cut. The advanced automatic line feeding mechanism senses when more cutting line is needed and feeds and trims the correct length of line whenever its required. DO NOT BUMP unit on ground in attempt to feed line or for any other purposes.
CLEARING JAMS AND TANGLED LINES From time to time, especially when cutting thick or stalky weeds, the line feeding hub may become clogged with sap or other material and the line will become jammed as a result. To clear the jam, follow the steps listed below.
1.Unplug the trimmer.
2.Press the release tabs on the hub cover, as shown in Figure 10 and remove the cap by pulling it straight off.
