REFILLING THE SPOOL WITH LINE

WARNING:

Use only 0.080” (2 mm)

diameter round line. Other sizes and

shapes of line will not advance properly and

will result in improper cutting head function or

can cause serious injury. Do not use other

materials such as wire, string, rope, etc. Wire

can break off during cutting and become a

dangerous missile that can cause serious in-

jury.
