REPLACING CUTTER LINE
1. Turn the knob (A) COUNTERCLOCKWISE and remove
it (Figure 8).
2. Remove the spool (B) and spring (C) from spindle (D).
3. Remove any remaining cutter line (H).
4. Double a 14' (4.3m) length of .095 or .080" (.24 or
.20cm) cutter line. Place the looped center in one of
the slots (F) of the spool divider (Figure 9).
5. Wind as shown in illustration (Figure 9), keeping ten-
sion, with each half separated by the spool divider.
Wind to within 6" (15cm) of the ends.
6. Lock each end of line into a slot (F) on opposite sides
of the spool (Figure 11).
7. Install the spring (C) over the spindle (D). Insert each
end of the line through an eyelet (G) in the housing (E)
(Figure 12).
8. Lower the spool into the housing (E) while feeding the
line through the eyelets (G). Ensure the spring seats
itself into the spool (Figure 12).
9. Once the spool is in place, apply pressure on the spool
compressing the spring. Pull each end of the line (H)
sharply to unlock the line from the slots (Figure 13).
10. Continue to apply pressure to the spool until the knob
can be threaded CLOCKWISE onto the spindle.
Tighten the knob securely by hand only (Figure 14).
11. Trim the excess line to approximately 5" (13cm). This
will minimize load on engine during starting and warm-
up.
