Changing the line
1. Turn the locking cap (A) anti-clockwise and remove it either by hand or using the supplied spanner.
2. Remove the spool (B) and the spring (C) from the spindle (D).
3. Remove the existing trimmer line (H).
4. First measure then cut an 8.6-metre
length of trimmer line (Ø 2 mm). Fold
it in the middle so that you have two
ends measuring 4.3 metres; place the
middle of the fold in one of the slots in
the disc dividing the spool.
5. Wind both ends of the line around the
spool clockwise figure 21. Hold the
line with your fingers while winding,
keeping the line taut. Stop when about
15 cm of the line remains.
6. Press the ends of the line into the slots
(F) on opposite sides of the spool.
7. Push in the spring (C) on the bottom of
the spool (if not already secure), pull
the ends of the line through the holes
(G) in the side of the housing (E).
8. Push the spool (B) into the housing
whilst feeding the ends of the line
through the holes (G).
9. Press the spool (B) inwards so that the
spring becomes compressed. Tug the
line, freeing them from the line slots
(F) in the spool.
10. Push the assembled trimmer head
securely onto the spindle and hold it
in position. Tighten the locking cap (A)
clockwise (only finger-tight).
11. Cut the ends of the line so they are no
longer than 13 cm.
