NOTE:

A metal insert is located in the exit

hole. As your unit wears from use, you can re-

install this insert upside down to provide a new

surface for the exit of the line from the trimmer

head.

WARNING:

When installing the metal

insert, you must install from the inside of the trim-

mer head. If installed on the outside of the trim-

mer head, this insert can fly off and become a

dangerous missile.

Once line is passed through the exit hole,

place the spool in the trimmer head. Press

the spool down and turn it until it locks down

and does not pop up when you release it.

Make sure the line is not caught between the

rim of the spool and the wall of the trimmer

head.

Replace the tap button, and place the lock

ring onto the trimmer head.

Align the lock ring over the catches on the

trimmer head. Push the ring down and turn un-

til catches lock into place.
