REPLACING THE TRIMMING LINE
Only use the trimming line described in the Specifications section.
Other types of trimming line may cause the unit to overheat or fail.
NOTE: When using Craftsman® Hassle Free™ XTRA QUIET Spiral
Line, use the line best suited for the job at hand. Medium-sized (red)
line is designed for cutting grass and small weeds. Large-sized
(black) line is designed for cutting larger weeds and light brush.
1. Remove the old line from the cutting head. Push one end of the
trimming line into the cutting head until a loop of line protrudes
from the head. Pull the loop to remove the line (Fig. 30).
2. Use a clean cloth to clean the surface of the cutting head.
3. Insert the ends of the new trimming line into the holes in the
cutting head (Fig. 28). Push the line through the holes until both
e
nds pro
trude from the eyelets (Fig. 29).
4. Pull the ends of the line until the line is tight against the cutting
head. Make sure the ends of the line are of equal length (Fig. 30).
If one end is longer than the other, push the longer end back
through the cutting head partway and pull the shorter end out. If
necessary, repeat this process until both ends are of equal length.
5. Press the exposed loop of t
rimming line until it is tight against
t
he cutting head (Fig. 30).
WARNING:
Never use metal-reinforced line, wire, chain or
rope. These can break off and become dangerous projectiles.
