9.1 Changing the trimmer line
1. Turn the locking cap (A) clockwise and remove it either by hand or using the supplied spanner.
2. Remove the spool (B) and the spring (C) from the spindle (D).
3. Remove the existing trimmer line (H).
4. Cut an 8.6 metre length of trimmer line (Ø 2.4 mm). Fold it in the middle so you end up with two 4.3 metre
lengths. Place the crease of the fold into one of the slots in the disc dividing the spool. See fig. A.
5. Wind both ends of the line around the spool clockwise. Hold the line with your fingers while winding to keep
it taut. Stop when about 15 cm of line remains. See fig. B.
6. Press the ends of the line into the slots (F) on opposite sides of the spool. See fig. C.
7. Push in the spring (C) on the bottom of the spool (if not already in). Pull the ends of the line through
the holes (G) in the side of the housing (E). See fig. D.
8. Push the spool (B) into the housing whilst feeding the ends of the line through the holes (G). See fig. E.
9. Press the spool (B) in so that the spring becomes compressed. Tug the ends of the line, freeing them from
the line slots (F) in the spool.
10. Push the assembled trimmer head securely onto the spindle and hold it in
position. Tighten the locking cap
(A) anti-clockwise (only finger-tight). See fig. F.
11. Cut the ends of the line so they are no longer than 13 cm.
