Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury. SPOOL REPLACEMENT See Figure 13. Use only 0.065 in. diameter round or 0.065 in. twisted monofilament line. Use original manufacturer's replacement line for best performance.  Remove the battery pack.  Push in tabs on side of spool retainer.  Pull spool retainer up to remove.  Remove the old spool.  To install the new spool, make sure the line is captured in the slot on the new spool. Make sure the end of the line is extended approximately 6 in. beyond the slot.  Install the new spool so that the line and slot align with the eyelet in the string head. Thread the line into the eyelet.  Pull the line extending from the string head so the line releases from the slot in the spool.  Reinstall the spool retainer by depressing tabs into slots and pushing down until spool retainer clicks into place. LINE REPLACEMENT See Figures 13 - 14.  Remove the battery pack.  Remove the spool from the string head. NOTE: Remove any old line remaining on the spool.  Cut a piece of line approximately 9 ft. long. Use only 0.065 in. diameter round or 0.065 in. twisted monofilament line.  Insert the line into the anchor hole in the upper part of the spool. Wind the line around the upper part of the spool clockwise, as shown by the arrows on the spool. Place line in the slot on upper spool flange, leaving about 6 in. extended beyond the slot. Do not overfill. After winding the line, there should be at least 1/4 in. between the wound line and the outside edge of the spool.  Replace the plastic retainer, spool, and the spool retainer.
