REPLACING THE TRIMMING LINE
Only use the trimming line described in the
Specifications
section. Other types of trimming line may
cause the unit to overheat or fail.

Always use the correct line length when installing trimming line. The line may not release
properly if the line is too long.
NOTE:
The cutting head will remain attached to the unit.
NOTE: DO NOT
disassemble the cutting head to install new line.
Installing New Trimming Line
1. If necessary, remove any old trimming line and/or obstructions from the cutting head. Refer to
Removing Old Trimming Line and Obstructions
.
2. Cut two 10-foot (3 m) lengths of new trimming line. Cut one end of each line at a 30 degree angle
(Fig. 23).
3.
Turn the bump knob to align the arrows on the bump knob with the arrows on the spool cover (Fig. 22).
4. Insert one of the lines into an eyelet (Fig. 23).
•
Insert the end that was cut at a 30 degree angle (Fig. 23).
•
Push the line in about 3 inches (7.5 cm).
Repeat this process with the other line and remaining eyelet.
5. Turn the bump knob to wind the line until about 5 inches (12.5 cm) protrude from each side of the
cutting head (Fig. 24).
NOTE: DO NOT
push the bump knob down while winding the line. The bump knob will only turn one
way, depending upon the unit model.
NOTE:
If too little line is left protruding, it could retract inside the cutting head.
WARNING:
Never use metal-reinforced line, wire, chain or rope. These can break off
and become dangerous projectiles.
