REPLACING SPOOL / CLEARING JAMS AND TANGLED LINES
From time to time, especially when cutting thick or stocky weeds, the
line feeding hub may become clogged with sap or other material and
the line will become jammed as a result. To clear the jam, follow
these steps.
- Turn off the trimmer and unplug from power source.
- Press the release tabs on the line spool retainer and remove the
cover by pulling it straight off.
- Lift the spool of nylon line out of the hub and clear any broken line
or cutting debris from the spool area.
- In case of jams and tangled line, unwrap about one foot (30cm) of
line to ensure that it is undamaged. If it is OK, rewind it and insert the
line ends through the eyelets in the spool hub.
- Press the spool down GENTLY and rotate it until you feel it drop
into place. (When in place, the spool will freely turn a few degrees left
and right.)
- Snap the spool retainer back on, insert the cord into the outlet and
turn the tool on. In a few seconds or less you’ll hear the line being cut
automatically to the proper length.
REWINDING SPOOL FROM BULK LINE
(USE ONLY .065” DIAMETER LINE)
Bulk line for your trimmer/edger is available at extra cost from your
local dealer or service center. To install bulk line, follow these steps:
- Turn off the trimmer and unplug from the power source.
- Remove the spool assembly from the trimmer. To do so, hold the
outer ribbed part of the assembly with one hand, while pushing down
and turning the spool head to unlock it with the other hand.
- Remove any existing line from the spool.
- Using approximately 9 ft. of .065 replacement line, loop the line into
2 equal lengths. Insert looped center into slot of spool.
- Wind the line tightly around the spool. The line is wound in the
direction of the arrow on the spool. Tightly wind it until there is
about 6” of line left.
- Lock each end of line into opposite holding slot.
- Thread each end of the line through the upper and lower eyelets of
the white plastic cover.
- Insert the line through each eyelet in the spool carrier and slide the
spool into it.
- Insert the spring, assemble the spool and spool retainer back onto
the trimmer. To do so, push the head on and turn it clockwise until it
locks.
- Plug trimmer back in and in a few seconds or less you’ll hear the
line being cut automatically to the proper length.
