replacing the line
- You can adjust the line to the right length at any time by lightly
tapping the trimmer head against the ground (direction of
arrow). The line cutter automatically cuts off excess line.
However, this only works when at least 3 cm of line are vis-
ible at each end.
- If the line ends are shorter than 3 cm, it will be necessary
to adjust the trimmer line manually.
- To do this, push the button firmly and pull out the line ends
forcefully.
CaUTIon: Before cleaning the trimmer head, replacing the
trimmer line, or manually adusting it, make absolutely cer-
tain to switch off the engine and pull the spark-plug cap!
always switch off the engine and disconnect the spark plug
cap before replacing the line!
- Push the housing tabs (f/1) inward to remove the housing
cover (f/2).
- Remove the spool (f/5) from the housing cover (f/2) remove
all line and line fragments.
- Cut line (diam. .4 mm) to 7.5 m length.
- Engage the nylon line in the cutout (f/6) so that one end of
the line is about 80 mm longer than the other. Then wind both
ends tightly about the spool in the direction of the arrow.
- After winding the line, temporarily insert the ends in the cutouts
(f/4). Leave about 100 mm protruding on each end.
- Place the spool (f/5) in the housing cover (f/2). Remove
the line ends from the cutouts (f/4) and pull them through
the metal eyelets (f/3) in the housing cover.
- Line the housing tabs (f/1) up with the housing cover (f/2)
and push together firmly until both tabs click into position
audibly.
replacing the line knife
(MS-30 C / MS-60 C / MS-330 C)
Before installing a new line knife, make absolutely certain
to switch off the engine, disconnect the spark plug cap,
and wear protective gloves!
- Unscrew the screws (g/5) and remove the old line knife.
- Mount the new line knife (g/4) as shown (towards the trim-
mer head) with screws (g/5).
noTE: Do not overtighten the screws. The protective hood
is made of plastic, and overtightening can strip the threads. If
this has happened and it is not possible to mount the line knife
firmly, the protective hood must be replaced.
