Installing Cords
The standard cord installation method is shown in Figures 11–13. Your trimmer is shipped
from the factory with the cords installed in this manner.
Note: After you install the cords and before trimming, engage the cutting head with the
engine running and spin new cords for a few seconds so they pull tight and are set.
1. Insert the ends of the cords into
the openings in the line plate, as
shown in Figures 11 and 12.
There are different sized arrows at
the insertion points to indicate
what size cords fit the holes.
2. Push the cord through until it
comes out the center hole in the
line plate as shown in Figure 12.
You may also reference Figures 9
and 10 for a cross sectional look
at installing the cords. Adjust the
cords so the tips are even.
3. Pull the cords through the loop
and push the loop up into the
line plate groove above them, as
shown in Figure 13. The larger
cord exits through the larger
opening and the smaller cord
through the smaller opening. Pull
the cords tight.
Important! When using PTA 
(Parallel Trimming Action), install the
cutting cords in one of the bottom four line plates. Installing the cutting
cords on the upper line plates can cause the cord to hit the wheel. For
