cover.
Repeat the steps for the remaining two blade tips.

LINE AND BLADE REPLACEMENT
See Figures 20 - 21
Use original manufacturer's replacement line for best
performance.
Remove the battery pack.
Rotate the bump knob clockwise as necessary to align the
arrows on the bump knob with the arrows on the string
head housing.
Use one piece of pre-cut trimmer line, or cut one piece
of bulk trimmer line 10-16ft. long. Insert the line into the
eyelet on the string head housing. Push until the end of
the line comes out the other side of the housing. Pull the
line until equal amounts of line appear on both sides of
the housing.
NOTE: Line may jam if more than 10-16 ft. is loaded.
Either by hand or using the Speed Winder™, rotate the
bump knob clockwise to wind the line on the spool until
approximately 6 in. of line is showing on each side.
NOTE: For best results, after every five to seven revolutions
of the Speed Winder™, pull both line ends taut for best
loading results and to help prevent line from tangling.
Push the bump knob down while pulling on line(s) to
manually advance the line.
