Your trimmer uses 0.080 inches (2.032 mm) diameter 
line, however a 0.095 inches (2.413mm) line may be 
used as long as it is spiral-shaped with smooth, round 
edges, but may reduce runtime of the trimmer.
 
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

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 H.
