You will avoid excessive wear and tear and damages of the tool, when you follow the instruc-
tions in this manual. The user is responsible for all damages caused by non-compliance with
instructions in this manual. This also applies to non-authorized modifications of the tool, use
of non-authorized spare parts, accessories, working tools, unrelated and not intended use,
secondary damages due to use of faulty components.
Wear Parts
Even when used in the intended way, some components are subject to normal wear. They
have to be replaced depending on the kind of duration of usage. These parts include, among
others, the cutting tool and the retaining disk.
Replacing the line spool/cutting line. Fig. 24-29
1. Pull off the line guard cap from the line spool by forcefully pressing between the retain-
ing plates.
2. Remove the spool with line remaining and the compression spring.
3. Remove the used up spool.
4. Take the new line spool and pull out 10 cm at both lines each.
5. Now, place the line spool on the tapered spring, and guide both lines each through the
round metal lugs at the line spool housing.
6. Then place the spool cover on the new line spool. Turn it so that the plates of the spool
cover are pushed with the springs in the line spool housing.
