Maintenance and care
Replacing nylon line
1.  Press "retaining pawls" (at two places) inward and remove 
cover. It is easier to remove one after another.
2. Remove spool.
3.  When nylon line on the spool is almost exhausted, remove 
remaining line from spool and wind "new line" according to 
the procedures (4) and beyond. When the line on the spool 
is "melted and stuck" remove the entire line while peeling off 
the "melted and stuck" portion and wind the "removed line" 
anew according to procedures (4) and beyond.
4.  Bend the line at the point 10 cm away from the middle of 
whole length and hook the bent portion into the "notch" of the 
intermediate separator.
5.  Wind the line firmly into groove of the spool following "wind-
ing direction for the line R".
6.  When the line is wound to the end hook both line ends into 
respective notch of spool for retaining tentatively the line 
while leaving line ends approximately 10 cm beyond notch.
7.  Align notches of spool for the line with grooves of eyelets 
and fit spool into housing.
8.  Pull out the line from housing. (A) Remove the line from "re-
spective notch of spool", and (B) pass it through "groove of 
respective eyelet".
