To remove spool cap
1. Press and hold in the two cap release latches. See Fig V.
2. Pull cap away from the cutting head. See Fig W.
When refitting the spool cap
1. Keep all areas of the cap and spoolholder clean.
Failure to do so may prevent the cap being securely
located in the spoolholder.
2. Align the two latches on the cap with the two windows
in the spoolholder, then press down into the locked
position.
3. Ensure the two cap release latches are clearly visible
and are fully engaged with the windows in the spool-
holder.
4. Check that the cap is correctly fitted by trying to
remove it without depressing the two latches.
