brushcutter

■ 

REFILLING TRIMMING LINE

1. For replacement line, use a diameter of

.095in (2.4mm). The spool is capable for a
line upto 27ft (8m) on the 4” head, and 46ft
(14m) on the 6” head. Avoid using a larger
line as it may cut down the trimming
performance. For safety reasons, do not
use metalreinforced line.

2. Pinch the slotted area on the both sides of

the spool housing to unhook the bottom
cap.

3. Take out the spool and pull off the old line.

Put one end of new line through the spool
holes and pull it until the length is equal
between each part of the line.

4. Wind up the line in the correct as indicated

on the spool.

WARNING

5. Hook each end of the line in the slot on

the edge of the spool, and then put the
ends through the eyelets on the housing.
Make sure that the spring and the washers
are in place.

6. While holding the spool against the

housing, pull the line ends to release them
from the slot.

7. Line up the slot on the bottom cap with the

hook on the housing, press the cap
against the housing until it clicks.

• Make sure that the engine has stopped

and is cool before performing any
service to the brushcutter. Contact with
moving cutting head or hot muffler may
result in a personal injury.

■ 

AIR FILTER

• The air filter, if clogged, will reduce the

engine performance. Monthly check and
clean the filter element in warm, soapy
water as required. Dry completely before
installing. If the element is broken or
shrunk, replace with a new one.
