20
feet
of 0.095”
line.
A
CAUTION:
Do
not substitute
any type

other
string-like material as trimmer

replacement monofilament line of
.080”
or

Using a
felt
tip pen, mark the line at the halfway
point then
feed
one end through each of the two

the holes until the mark you made is between the
two holes in the hub.

MARK
2.
Wind the line on the spool in the direction of the
arrow shown on the spool. Use no more than the
recommended amount of line as
it
will otherwise
extend beyond the spool flanges and cause
binding. Avoid criss-crossing to help prevent line
advancing problems later.

Before installing the spool, inspect the two eyelets
for wear and sharp edges. Replace
if
necessary.

Insert one end of the line into each of the two
eyelets and making sure that the line on the
spool
does not unwind. See Figure 139.
3. Place the spring on the cutter head shaft and
secure with the knob, turning the knob in
counterclockwise to tighten.

not over-tighten.
