• Unplug the tool.
• Depress the tabs (a) and remove the
cassette (b) from the cassette housing
(c) in the trimmer head (
figure 11)
.

. The line should
protrude approximately 4-3/8 inches
(111mm) from the cassette.
• Unfasten the end of the other cutting
line and guide the line into the other
eyelet. The line should protrude
