■ REFILLING TRIMMING LINE

.095 in(2.4 mm). The spool is capable for a
line upto 27 ft(8 m)on the 4” head, and 46
ft(14m)on the 6” head. Avoid using a larger
line as it may cut down the trimming
performance. For safety reasons, do not
use metalreinforced line.
2. Pinch the slotted area on the both sides of
the spool housing to unhook the bottom
cap.
3. Take out the spool and pull off the old line.
Put one end of new line through the spool
holes and pull it until the length is equal
between each part of the line.
4. Wind up the line in the correct as indicated
on the spool.

the edge of the spool, and then put the
ends through the eyelets on the housing.

6. While holding the spool against the
housing, pull the line ends to release them
from the slot.
7. Line up the slot on the bottom cap with the
hook on the housing, press the cap
against the housing until it clicks.
• Make sure that the engine has stopped
and is cool before performing any
service to the brushcutter. Contact with
