cords of varying lengths will cause excessive vibration
and could damage the machine.

hole (B) and push it in until the end protrudes out

Repeat until all four cords are installed.
NOTE:
The cord can only move through the cord head in
one direction. To remove an old cord the cord must be
pulled through the cord head.
Cutting Cord Tips
•
Do not store cords in sunlight. UV light causes pre-
mature wear.
•
Keep cords pliable by soaking them in room tem-
perature water for a few days before use.
•
Replace cords one at a time and use old cord to
mark the position for new cord being installed.
•
Remove any cord broken off flush at the line plate
with needle nose pliers.
•
Do not add additional cords to the head.
Adding addi-
tional cords creates drag and may cause wrapping.
