Replacing the Nylon Cord
This machine is fitted with a “Tap to Go” head. To release more line, tap the ‘bump knob’ against the ground with
the engine at top speed: the line will be released automatically and the knife fitted to the guard will cut off any
excess line. Check to see if the nylon head is damaged before replacing the cord. If you can see serious traces of
wear or damage, you must replace the complete nylon head.
The line head contains 2.4mm nylon line, never use steel wire or other substitute materials.
•
Turn off the engine.
•
To refill the line head, cut a 3m length of 2.4mm line.
•
Turn the black ‘bump knob’ so the groove line (a) on the ‘bump knob’ matches up with the arrows
on the orange head (b).
•
Push one end of the line into one of the eyelets (c) in the side of the head and push this through
until it comes out of the eyelet on the opposite side of the head.
•
Pull the line through the head until there is an equal amount of line either side of the head (d).
•
With one hand hold the head still and with the other hand hold the ‘bump knob’ and twist this
clockwise (e) until the line is wound into the head, leaving 20cm of line visible either side (f ).
