MAINTENANCE
STRING REPLACEMENT
See Figures 9 - 11.
� Stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire or dis-
connect from the power supply. Hold the string head and
unscrew the spool retainer. Turn clockwise.
� Remove the spool from the string head.
NOTE: Keep the spring attached to the spool. Remove
any old string remaining on the spool.
� Cut two pieces of string, each being approximately 9 ft.
long.
� Insert the first string into the anchor hole in the upper
part of the spool. Wind the first string around the upper
part of the spool counterclockwise, as shown by the ar-
rows on the spool. Place string in the slot on upper spool
flange, leaving about 6 in. extended beyond the slot. Do
not overfill. After winding the string, there should be at
least 1/4 in. between the wound string and the outside
edge of the spool.
Repeat above step with second string, using the bottom
part of spool. Do not overfill.
Replace the spool and the spool retainer. Refer to Spool
Replacement earlier in this manual.
STORING THE TRIMMER ATTACHMENT
Store the straight shaft trimmer attachment in a well-ventilated
place that is inaccessible to children. Keep away from cor-
rosive agents such as garden chemicals and deicing salts.
ATTACHING THE STORAGE HANGER
See Figure 12.
There are two ways to hang the attachment for storage.
To use the hanger cap, push in the button and place the
hanger cap over end of the lower end attachment shaft.
Slightly rotate the cap from side to side until the button
locks into place.
The secondary hole in the attachment shaft can be used
for hanging purposes as well.
