7. Install the spring and knob. Rotate the knob in the direction of the
arrow and hand tighten securely.
Semi-Matic (Bump-Feed) Cutting-Line Head
1. Clean any mud, dirt, debris, etc., from around the trimmer head
area; otherwise, it will be more difficult to service.
2. Locate the half-round locking hole on the spool.
3. It may be necessary to lightly rotate the spool in the direction of the
arrow about an 1/8 turn until the spool stops.
4. Hold the housing securely, then continue to rotate the spool in the
direction of the arrow an additional 1/4 inch or the width of the
channel to unlock the spool from the housing.
5. Lift the spool out of the housing and remove any remaining line
from the spool.
6. Measure approximately 20 feet (6 meters) of new line, then thread
one end through the hole in the ridge on the spool.
Pull the line until the two lengths are equal.
7. Wind both lines tightly and evenly from side to side ignoring the
ridge. Feed the line while turning the spool in the direction of the
arrow. Do not allow the line to get twisted.
It is important to prevent the two lines from getting twisting over
each other. Position a finger between the lines as you turn the
spool to prevent the lines from twisting.
8. When you have about 6 inches (150 mm) of line remaining, press
the lines into the two notches on the bottom of the spool. This will
hold the lines on the spool for reassembly.
9. It may be necessary to push down and rotate the outer drive until
the round lugs align with the metal eyelets.
Feed both line ends through the metal eyelets in the housing.
Align the channels in the spool with the round lugs on the outer
drive. With the channels and notches aligned with the metal
eyelets, slide the spool into the housing with a continuous snap-in
motion. Be careful not to let the line slip under the spool. When the
spool reaches the bottom of the housing, the lines should snap out
of the spool notches.
