MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

REPLACE THE SPOOL OF NYLON LINE

1.Unplug the trimmer.

2.Remove the spool assembly from the trimmer. To do so, hold the outer ribbed part of the assembly with one hand, while pushing down and turning the spool head with the other to unlock it. (Fig. 18 & Fig. 19) The spool carrier and spool will now disassemble easily. NOTE: There is a spring inside the spool head that could easily be lost. Ensure that it is put in a safe place.

3.Remove the clear plastic line retaining ring. Remove any existing line from the spool.

4.Using 0.065" replacement line measure off approxi- mately 14' of line. Double over the cutter line into two equal lengths and place loop in slot of the spool divider (Fig. 20).

5.Wind the line onto the spool by turning the spool. The line should go on in the direction of the arrow (A) on the spool (Fig. 21). Line should be wrapped tightly around the spool. The line is wound with each half separated by the divider. Tightly wind it until there is about 6" of line left (Fig. 22).
