Replacing the strimmer/cutting filament
1.) The strimmer
must be removed as described in the section "Installing/
replacing the strimmer". Press the marking (see fig. 5a) and remove the
cover (see fig. 5b).
2.) Remove the spool bobbin
3.) Remove any remaining cutting filament.
4.) Double the new cutting filament and hook the loop that you have made
into the recess on the spool bobbin (see fig. 5d).
5.) Wind the filament tightly in an anticlockwise direction. The spool bobbin
separates the two halves of the cutting filament (see fig. 5d).
6.) Now take the cover in your hand and place the spool bobbin
Make sure that the filament holder of the spool bobbin lines up with the
filament guide on the cover.
7.) Now release the cutting filament from the spool bobbin
it through the metal eyes in the cover.
8.) Put the two halves of the housing back together so that they click into
place.
9.) Cut any excess filament back to about 13 cm. This reduces the load on
the engine when starting and warming up.
10.) Refit the strimmer (see section "Installing/replacing the strimmer").
