Installing the Cutting Cord
Installing the Cutting Cord
There are two installation points on the line plate. Each point
is 180 degrees apart. Always install two cords, one opposite the
other of the same length and weight (diameter).
1. Insert the end of the cord into the side openings in the line
plate (Figure 2).
2. Push the cord through until the end comes out the center
hole in the line plate. Adjust the cord ends so the tips are of
equal length.
3. Pull the cord under the loop and push the loop up into the
line plate groove above them (Figure 3) and then pull the cord
ends tight.
If the tips of the cutting cords are not of equal length, it can
cause unbalance of the trimmer and will result in increased
vibration and potential damage to the trimmer.
Figure 4 illustrates the proper cord installation on the line plate.
It shows the line plate from a top view. The cord ends should be
of equal length and the same length on each side. There are two
installation points on the line plate. Each point is 180 degrees
apart. Always install two cords, one opposite the other.
