9.1 Changing the trimmer line
1. Turn thelocking cap (A) clockwise and remove it either by hand or using thesupplied spanner.
2. Remove thespool (B) and thespring (C) from thespindle (D).
3. Remove theexisting trimmer line (H).
4. Cut an8.6 metre length of trimmer line (Ø 2.4 mm). Fold it in themiddle so you end up with two 4.3 metre
lengths. Place thecrease of thefold into one of theslots in thedisc dividing thespool. See fig. A.
5. Wind both ends of theline around thespool clockwise. Hold theline with your fingers while winding to keep
it taut. Stop when about 15 cm of line remains. See fig. B.
6. Press theends of theline into theslots (F) on opposite sides of thespool. See fig. C.
7. Push in thespring (C) on thebottom of thespool (if not already in). Pull theends of theline through
theholes (G) in theside of thehousing (E). See fig. D.
8. Push thespool (B) into thehousing whilst feeding theends of theline through theholes (G). See fig. E.
9. Press thespool (B) in so that thespring becomes compressed. Tug theends of theline, freeing them from
theline slots (F) in thespool.
10. Push theassembled trimmer head securely onto thespindle and hold it in position. Tighten thelocking cap
(A) anti-clockwise (only finger-tight). See fig. F.
11. Cut theends of theline so they are no longer than 13 cm.
