5. Wind the trimming line clockwise (Fig. 16). Keep
tension on the line, and make sure each half of line is
separated by the spool divider. Continue winding
until the line is within 6 inches (15 cm) of the ends.
To prevent serious
injury, never per-
form maintenance or repairs with unit run-
ning. Always service and repair a cool unit.
Disconnect the spark plug wire to ensure
that the unit cannot start.
WARNING:
Never use metal-
reinforced line, wire,
chain or rope. These can break off and
become dangerous projectiles.
WARNING:
6. Lock each end of the line into a slot on opposite
sides of the spool (Fig. 17).
7. Install the spring over the spindle. Insert each end of
the line through an eyelet in the housing (Fig. 14).
