To replace nylon line
For your convenience it is recommended you buy spool
and line complete. Nylon line only is also available. Both
are available from Husqvarna UK Ltd. stockists.
To fit spool and line complete:
1. Remove the cap.
2. Remove old spool.
3.
Place new spool into spoolholder with cut out areas of
the spool in line with eyelets as shown in figure P.
4.
Release one line from cleat and feed line through eyelet (P).
5. Repeat for second line.
• Ensure spool is fully located by gently rotating it dur-
ing fitment, whilst keeping the spoolholder steady.
7. Refit the cap.
To fit nylon line only:
• Remember! Your Trimmer is designed to use only
nylon line with a maximum diameter of 1.5mm. Use
only genuine Husqvarna UK Ltd. nylon line.
1. IMPORTANT - Always wind the line onto the upper
section of the spool first.
Take approximately 5 metres of line. Insert 15mm of
line into one of the holes in the upper section of the
spool (Q) and wind line in the direction of the arrows
on the top of the spool. Leave approximately 100mm
of line unwound and place into cleat as illustrated in
figure Q1. Repeat on lower section of spool.
2. Care should be taken to ensure that the line is neatly
coiled on the spool. Failure to do so will impair the effi-
ciency of the automatic line feed.
3. Then fit spool as described in ‘To fit spool and line
complete’, section above.
