RENEWING THE CUTTING LINE
Hold the cutting-head with one hand and unclip the cap with the other hand by pressing in the tabs on
either side of the cutting head and simultaneously lifting the cap ( Fig.5 ).Take out the spool ( Fig.6 ).
Remove any old bits of line. The new nylon line should not exceed 8,0 meters in length and must
conform to the specification listed below ( Use only genuine Lawn Star replacement line). Uncoil the
new line completely. For dual-line cutting heads, double over in the middle so that you have two equal
lengths. Insert the doubled-over loop into one of the two slots provided in the spool divider and push to
the bottom. The slots provided suit either 1.6mm diameter or 2.0mm diameter line (Fig.7 ). Wind the
two lengths onto the spool (one length on each side of the spool divider ) in the direction shown on the
spool flange. When each of the spool compartments is full, about 2mm of the centre divider rim should
still be visible. For single-line cutting heads wind max 4,0m of line in one compartment only. Ensure
the line is wound neatly and tightly. This is important. Clip the ends of the line into the holding slots
provided , leaving enough free length to facilitate threading through the eyelets ( Fig.8 ).Pass the line
ends through the eyelets in the spool housing and replace spool in housing ( Fig.9 ). Make sure the
spring is still in place inside the housing shaft . Replace cap ensuring that it is firmly clipped in place
(Fig.10 ). Pull on the line ends to release the spool from the “ locked “ position to the operating
position. Trim off excess trimming line that extends beyond the line trimming blade before switching
on.
ENSURE CAP IS PROPERLY LOCKED IN PLACE BEFORE USING.
