REPLACING THE TRIMMER LINE SPOOL
WARNING:
Remove the battery from the
tool before attempting to replace the
trimmer line spool.
As the trimmer is used, the line will automatically
be dispensed from the spool. In time, the line
supply within the spool will be depleted, making
it necessary to replace the spool with a new
prewound spool.
REMOVING THE OLD SPOOL
Press the spool locking buttons (1) into the
spool housing (2) (Fig. 14).
NOTE:
There are two spool locking buttons
located on opposite sides of the spool
housing.
While pressing both spool locking
buttons, pull the spool cap (3) out of the
spool housing (Fig. 15).

Pull the empty spool (4) upward to remove the spool and any remaining
trimmer line from the spool housing (Fig. 16).
Once the empty spool has been
removed from the spool housing, use a
soft brush to remove any debris from
the spool housing.
INSTALLING THE REPLACEMENT SPOOL
Remove all packaging from the replacement spool.
NOTE:
There may be shrink wrap holding the trimmer line in place on the
replacement spool. This must be removed, but be sure to hold the line in place
with your fingers to prevent it from unwinding from the spool.
Pull the loose end of the trimmer line out of the retaining slot (5) in the spool
(Fig. 17).
NOTE:
Be sure to hold the line in place with your fingers to prevent it from
unwinding from the spool.
