WARNING: Keep the rotating string
roughly parallel with the ground (tilted no more
than 30º). This trimmer is not an edger. DO NOT
TILT the trimmer so that the string is spinning near
a right angle to the ground. Flying debris can cause
seriousinjury.
Bump Feed Trimmer Line Feed
Your trimmer uses 0.080" (2 mm) diameter diameter line
that is spiral-shaped with smooth round edges. Cutting line
will wear faster and require more feeding if the cutting is
done along sidewalks or other abrasive surfaces or heavier
weeds are beingcut.
As you use the trimmer, the string will get shorter due
to wear. Gently bump the trimmer on the ground while
running at normal speed and the line willfeed.
NOTE: Extending nylon line beyond the 13" (330mm)
swath will negatively affect performance, runtime, and the
life of the trimmer due to potential of damaging motor.
Doing so may void thewarranty.
Helpful Cutting Tips (Fig. M)
• Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force
string head into uncutgrass.
• Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even
breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may
wear stringrapidly.
• Do not allow spool cap
28
to drag on ground or
othersurfaces.
• In long growth, cut from the top down and do not
exceed 12" (305 mm)high.
• Keep trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is
the best cuttingarea.
• The trimmer cuts when passing the unit from the left to
right. This will avoid throwing debris at theoperator.
• Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings,
siding, and fence posts can easily be damaged by
thestring.
Reloading the Cutting Line (Fig. K–M)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, turn unit off and
remove the battery pack before making any
adjustments or removing/installing attachments
or accessories, when replacing line, or prior to
cleaning. An accidental start-up can causeinjury.

CAUTION: Use only CRAFTSMAN
replacement spools and line. Using any other
manufacturer's line can reduce performance, damage
the trimmer or cause personalinjury.
Your trimmer uses 0.08" (2 mm) diameter line that is
spiral-shaped with smooth round edges. Do not use
other size lines. This can degrade performance, cause
damage to the unit or injury.

CAUTION: To avoid appliance damage, if
the cutting line protrudes beyond the trimming blade,
cut it off so that it just reaches theblade.
Use only CRAFTSMAN replacementline.
1. Removebattery.
2. Cut a max of 20' (6 m) length of of 0.080" (2mm)
trimmerline.
3. Align spool housing eyelets
21
with the arrow
22
on
the spool grip cover
20
as shown in FigureL.
4. Thread one end of the trimmer line through an eyelet.
Guide the line through to the second eyelet and
continue to pull the line through until there are equal
lengths of string on each side of the spool housing as
shown in FigureL.
5. Secure the spool cap
28
from moving with one hand.
Using your other hand, wind the string onto the spool
by rotating the spool grip cover
19
counter clockwise.
Continue winding until 5" (101mm) of string remain on
each side of the spool housing.
