MAINTENANCE
After changing the spool, run the trimmer under no load (i.e. away from grass and weeds) for at
least a minute to verify the line and the tool are both operating correctly. Use only the spool and
line as recommended by the manufacturer.
CAUTION
Line Replacement
(See Fig. 25)
■ Remove the empty spool from the trimmer head.
NOTE:
Remove any old line remaining on the spool. Cut a length of line approximately 5 m long.
Use only 1.6 mm diameter monolament line.
■ Insert the line into one of the two anchor holes found on the inside upper collar of the spool.
Wind the line onto the spool. Ensure the line is wound in the direction indicated by the arrows
on the spool.
■ Place the end of the line in one parking slot (
⑦
) located on the top cover of the spool, leaving
some of the line out (Fig. 25).
NOTE:
Always clean the spool cover and trimmer head housing before reassembling the trimmer
head.
Always clean the trimmer head before replacing the spool.
■ Install the spool in trimmer head as described in the Spool Replacement section. Check to make
sure the line is taken out of the parking slot (
⑦
) on the spool before replacing the spool cover.
NOTE:
Only use the appropriate trimming line specied in this manual.
■ Turn the grass trimmer upside down.
■ Press together both the locking tabs (
③
) on either side of the spool cover (
④
) and remove
the cover (Fig. 24).
■ Remove the empty spool (
⑤
) from the trimmer head.
■ Refer to the Line Replacement section if only the line needs to be replaced.
■ Set the new spool with the smooth side facing upward onto the trimmer head and put the line
end through the line eyelet (
⑥
). Pay attention that the line end does not slip off the grooves of
the spool. Ensure the line is not held in the parking slot on the spool before replacing the spool
cover referring to the Line Replacement section.
■ Replace the spool cover. Ensure that the locking tabs of the spool cover are accurately inserted
in the corresponding recesses of the trimmer head. They lock in audibly.
■ Keep the line release button (
②
) pressed and pull out the line end far enough so that it
protrudes over the line cutting blade (Fig. 24).
Before replacing the spool line, make sure the battery is removed from the trimmer. The line cutting
blade, located on the safety guard is sharp. Take extra care and wear protective gloves.
