If you want to wind new line onto the old spool, complete the following steps: • Hook one end of line into the slot on the spool, allowing no more than 1/8 inch to protrude, pushing the end of the line all the way to the inner end of the slot. • Wind the line in the direction of the arrow on the spool, in level rows, between the spool flanges. Maintenance After each use of the trimmer, complete the following procedures: • Wipe the trimmer clean with a damp cloth. Do not hose the trimmer down or submerse it in water. • Wipe or scrape clean the cutter head and spool area any time there is an accumulation of dirt or cuttings. • Check and tighten all fasteners. If any part is damaged or lost, repair or replace it. • Scrape debris away from air intake vents. Note: The trimmer will not function correctly if the line is wound in the wrong direction, the end of the line protrudes more than 1/8 inch, or the line is wound beyond the outer edges of the spool. 6. Unwind no more than three inches of line from spool (either new or re-wound). Hold line and spool to prevent unraveling. 7. Holding the line and spool to prevent unraveling, place the cap on the spool. 8. Insert line into eyelet, aligning the cap tabs with the slots in the cutter head 9. Press in the tabs and push down the cap and spool to lock the cap in place. Note: The spool may need to be rotated slightly to allow it to be fully installed. The fully installed cutting head should appear as illustrated. Important: Keep the air intake vents free of grass and debris to prevent the motor from overheating.
