The trimming line may be replaced by two
methods - rewinding the existing reel or
installing a prewound reel.
Rewinding the Existing Reel
To rewind the existing reel you must:
1. Check for the correct line size.
2. Remove the inner reel and spring.
3. Wind the reel with the new line.
4. Reinstall the existing reel and spring.
The Correct Line to Use
Use a Ø 2,00 mm dual line reel.
Removing the Existing Reel
1. Unscrew the Bump Knob counterclockwise
(Fig. 10).
2. Remove the inner reel (Fig. 11).
3. Use a clean cloth to clean the inside of the
outer spool (Fig.12).
4. Check the indexing teeth on the reel and
spool for wear (Fig.13). If necessary,
replace the reel and spool.
Winding the Existing Reel
1. Insert the ends of new trimming line into
the inner reel holes (Fig.14).
2. Loop the line into two equal lengths before
inserting it into the holes.
