Replacing the Cutting Line
Use only MILWAUKEE trimmer line (see Specifica
-
tions). Replace the cutting line with either 20' of
.095 line or 25' of .08 line. Note, when used near
abrasive surfaces or in dense growth, the cutting
line will wear faster.
1. Remove the battery pack.
2.
Turn the trimmer head over

and remove the spool by
pushing in the tabs (1).
Pull the cover away from
the spool housing (2).
3.
Remove the spool from
the cover and discard any short line remnants.
4.
Clean any grass or debris from the spool, cover,
and trimmer head.
5. Measure out 20' of .095 line or 25' of .08 line.
CAUTION:
When replacing the line, use only
MILWAUKEE .080" or .095" (2 mm or 2.4 mm)
diameter line. Any other line can degrade perfor
-
mance or cause damage to the trimmer.
6. Fold the line in half to find the
center of the line and loop
through the notch in the
center rib of the spool.
7.
Wind the line in the direc-
tion shown on the spool.
Both ends of the line wind
in the same direction in
the top and bottom tracks.
Notches
8.
When the end of the line
is reached, secure the
remaining 4" to 6" of line
in the notches at the top
of the spool.
9.
Line up the spool's notch-
es with the metal eyelets
in the cover and push the
spool into the cover.
10.
Pull each of the ends of
the line out of the spool
notches and insert into
the eyelets.
11. Snap the spool/cover back into the trimmer head.
12.
Check that the
exposed line ex-
tends no further
than the line
blade. If the ex
-
posed line is too
long, trim before
use.
Selecting the Speed
Use the speed control button to select Low (1) or
High (2) speeds. Use low speed for larger jobs where
extended battery life is needed. Use high speed for
dense growth applications.
