LINE REPLACEMENT (See Figs. 25-27)
■ You may wind new cutting lines onto an empty spool.
■ Replacement cutting line is available from the dealer.
■ Remove the empty spool from the grass trimmer referring to the Spool Replacement section.

■ Press and rotate the spool head clockwise to align the arrow on spool head and the line on the
trimmer head cover as shown (Fig. 25).

■ Ensure that the new cutting line is sufficiently long, approximately 20 ft (6 m) for 0.08” line and
16 ft (5 m) for 0.095” line. First insert one end of the line into the eyelet on the trimmer head
housing and the spool in the trimmer head. Fully insert the line until you feel it stop and cannot
be inserted any further. Then insert the other end of the line into the other eyelet on the trimmer
head housing and the spool in the trimmer head. Ensure the line is fully inserted until it stops
