RELOADING THE CUTTING LINE
NOTICE: When the cutting line breaks
from the eyelet or the cutting line is
not released when the trimmer head
is tapped, you will need to remove the
remaining cutting line from the trimmer
head and follow the steps below to reload
the line.
1. Remove the battery pack from the
power head.
2. Press the release tabs (A) on the
trimmer head and remove the lower
cover assembly of the trimmer head
by pulling it straight out (Fig. 13).
3. Remove the cutting line from the
trimmer head.
4. Insert the spring into the slot in
the lower cover assembly if it got
separated from the lower spring
assembly (Fig. 14).
5. With one hand holding the trimmer,
use another hand to grasp the lower
cover assembly and align the slots
in the lower cover assembly with
the release tabs. Press the lower
cover assembly until it snaps into
place, at which time you will hear a
distinct click sound (Fig. 15, 16).
6. Follow the instructions in the "LINE
REPLACEMENT" section to reload
