MAINTENANCE
4. If you are rewinding the spool with new
line, see “Rewinding Spool”. If you are
replacing the spool, use Craftsman
replacement spool number 85820,
available at Sears.
5. Insert the line end of the new or
rewound spool through the eyelet in
the spool hub, as shown in Figure 11.
Pull on the line end to keep it taut
while placing the spool down into the
hub, as shown in Figure 12.
6. Press the spool down GENTLY and
rotate it until you feel it drop into place.
(When in place, the spool will turn a
few degrees left and right freely). Take
care to keep the line from becoming
trapped under the spool.
7. Snap the hub cover back on, (figure 10)
and turn the tool on. In a few seconds
or less you’ll hear the nylon line being
cut automatically to the proper length.

REWINDING SPOOL
Use .065” diameter ROUND line only. Do
not use heavier gauge line; it will
overload motor and cause overheating.
1. Insert line end about 1/4” into the
spool hole.
2. Snugly and evenly wind the line onto
the spool in the direction of the arrow
on the spool until the line builds up to
the notches in the spool rim
(Figure 13). Do not overfill spool. The
spool holds about 30 feet of line.
3. Proceed to step 5 of “Spool or Line
Replacement”
CLEANING AND STORAGE
Be sure the tool is unplugged.
1. Keep the air intake slots (Figure 14)
clean to avoid overheating.
2. Your trimmer line can dry out over
time. To keep your line in top condition,
store spare pre-wound spools or bulk
line in a plastic, sealable bag with a
tablespoon of water.
3. Plastic parts may be cleaned by using
a mild soap and a damp rag.
4. DO NOT immerse tool in water or
squirt it with a hose. DO NOT allow
any liquid to get inside it.
5. Do not store the tool on or adjacent to
fertilizers or chemicals.
6. DO NOT clean with a pressure washer.
7. The line cutter on the edge of the
guard can dull over time. It is
recommended you periodically
touch-up the sharpness of the blade
with a file.
