about 1/2 in. (12 mm).
2. Hold the line in the hole and pull
the rest of the line through the
slot in the spool.
3. Snugly and evenly wind the bulk
line onto the spool in the direction of
the arrow on the spool until the line
builds up to the notches in the spool

holds 30 feet (10 m) of line.
TROuBLEShOOTING
3. Unwrap about one foot (30 cm) of
line to ensure that it’s undamaged.
If it is OK rewind it and insert the
line end through the eyelet in the
spool hub as shown in
figure 13
.
Pull 4 in. (10 cm) of the line through
the hole and maintain tension while
placing the spool down into the
hub with the arrow up, as shown in
figure 14
.
4. 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

the tool on. In a few seconds or less
you’ll hear the nylon line being cut

PROBLEM
T
ool runs slowly.
Automatic line feed does not
feed more line.
SOLUTION
• Check that the spool housing can rotate
freely. Carefully clean it if necessary.
• Check that the cutting line
does not protrude more than
approximately 5-3/8 inches
(136mm) from the spool. If it

• If the tool still runs slowly, stop using
the tool and take it to a service center.
• More line is fed when the line
shortens to approximately 3 inches
(76.2mm). To determine if the line is
not feeding, let line wear past this point.
• Keep the tabs depressed and
remove the spool from the spool
housing in the trimmer head.
• Ensure that the line is not
crisscrossed on the spool as
