Cutting line will wear faster and require more feeding if the cutting or edging is done along sidewalks or other abrasive surfaces or heavier weeds are being cut. The advanced automatic line feeding mechanism senses when more cutting line is needed and feeds and trims the correct length of line whenever it’s required. DO NOT BUMP unit on ground in attempt to feed line or for any other purposes. FITTING A NEW SPOOL OF AFS CUTTING LINE (FIGURES 11 & 12) • Unplug the tool. • Depress the tabs (a) and remove the cassette (b) from the cassette housing (c) in the trimmer head (figure 11). • Grasp empty spool (d) with one hand and cassette with other hand and pull spool out from cassette. If lever (e) in base of cassette becomes dislodged, replace in correct position before inserting new spool into cassette. • Remove any dirt and grass from the cassette and housing. • Take the new spool and push it onto the boss (f) (figure 12) in the cassette. Rotate the spool slightly until it is seated. • Unfasten the end of one of the cutting lines and guide the line into one of the eyelets (g). figure 12. The line should protrude approximately 4-3/8 inches (111mm) from the cassette. • Unfasten the end of the other cutting line and guide the line into the other eyelet. The line should protrude approximately 4-3/8 inches (111mm) from the cassette. • Align the cassette tabs (a) with the slots (h) in the housing (figure 11). • Push the cassette onto the housing until it snaps securely into place. CAUTION: To avoid tool damage, If the cutting lines protrude beyond the trimming blade (i), cut them off so that they just reach the blade (figure 11).

Replacement packs of .065 inch (1.65 mm) cutting line are available from your local dealer. • Remove the empty spool from the tool as described in “FITTING A NEW SPOOL OF AFS CUTTING LINE”. • Remove any remaining cutting line from the spool. • First wind new line onto the uppermost part of the spool. - Feed 3/4 inch (19mm) of cutting line into one of the line anchoring slots. - Wind the cutting line onto the spool in the direction of the arrow on the spool. Make sure to wind the line on neatly and in layers. Do not crisscross (figure 13). - When the wound cutting line reaches the recesses (j), cut the line. (figure 14). - Temporarily park the line in the holding slots (k) on one side of the spool as shown in the inset in figure 14. • Repeat the above procedure for the second cutting line on the lower section of the spool. • Fit the spool onto the tool as described in “FITTING A NEW SPOOL OF CUTTING LINE”.
