line, 10 feet (3 m) long.
2. Hold the outer spool and turn the inner reel
counterclockwise to line up the arrows on the outer
spool and inner reel (Fig. 8).
3. Pull old line out of the line loading and line locking
holes (Figs. 9 and 10).
4. Insert a piece of trimming line into one of the two
eyelets in the outer spool. Push it up through the line
loading hole in the inner reel (Fig. 9). Do not bend the
