Press the line release button (10) on the trimmer line housing and gently pull on the
exposed trimmer line until 3” (7.6 cm) of line is exposed beyond the spool housing
(Fig. 18).
Trimmer line breaks off inside the spool housing
Remove the spool from the spool housing, unwind approximately 3” (7.6 cm) of
line and reinstall the spool (Fig. 14 through Fig. 18).
NOTE:
Remove any debris from the spool housing and spool before reinstalling
the spool.
Trimmer line breaks off inside the spool housing and jams onto the spool
Remove the spool from the spool housing, unwind all the trimmer line from the
spool and rewind the trimmer line onto the spool (Fig. 14 through Fig. 18).
NOTES:
a) Remove any debris from the spool housing and spool before reinstalling the
spool.
b) Carefully wind the trimmer line onto the spool evenly to avoid overlapping
wraps that will cause further jamming (Fig. 17).
TRIMMING TO A POST OR DECK
To protect the trimmer line from damaging a post, deck etc., lower the trimming
guide (1) and configure the trimmer (Fig. 20). See Fig. 10 for instructions on
lowering the trimming guide. If the trimmer line is too long and contacts the post
or deck, rotate the line limiting knife as outlined in Fig. 12 so it will cut the line to a
shorter length and avoid damaging the object.
