Advancing Trimmer Line
To advance new trimmer line, tap the line
advance button on the ground while the
trimmer is running (see Figure 4-9). The
blade attached to the cutting guard will
cut the line to the proper length.
Follow the precautions below to ensure
top line performance.
• Do not hold the line advance but-
ton on the ground. This will allow
trimmer line to constantly feed off
the spool.
• Tap the line advance button only
once to advance line. If more line
is needed, wait a few seconds and
tap again.
• Be sure to advance the line as it
wears down. If you wait too long to
advance new line, the existing line
will wear down too short and can
retract into the spool. If this hap-
pens, remove the spool and reroute
the line out of the spool. Reinstall
the spool to the trimmer head.
Replacing Trimmer Line
For replacement line, use a nylon monofila-
ment line of 0.065 inch in diameter. You
can purchase replacement line at most lawn
and garden stores.
Removing the Spool
1. Press in the two locking tabs holding
the spool cover to the spool housing
(see Figure 4-10).
2. Remove the spool cover and spool
from spool housing (see Figure
4-11). Note: If spool spring comes off
of spool housing, replace spring by
placing the smaller end of spring into
