TRIMMER/EDGER OPERATION

ADVANCING TRIMMER LINE

To advance new trimmer/edger line, tap the

line advance button on the ground while the

trimmer/edger is running (See Figure 21). The

blade attached to the cutting guard will cut the

line to the proper length.

Blade is sharp. To prevent seri-

ous injury, do not touch blade.

REPLACING TRIMMER/EDGER

LINE

For replacement line, use a nylon monoﬁ la-

ment line of 0.065 inch in diameter. You can

purchase replacement line at most lawn and

garden stores.

Figure 26 -Winding Line Around Spool

To prevent serious personal in-

jury, never use metal-reinforced

line, wire, or rope, etc. These can

break off and become a danger-

ous projectile.

WARNING:

Use of line other than speciﬁ ed

could cause personal injury or

product failure.

CAUTION:

Removing the Spool

1. Press in the two locking tabs holding the

spool cover to the spool housing (See

Figure 22).

Follow the precautions below to ensure top line

performance.

• Do not hold the line advance button on the

ground. This will allow trimmer/edger line

to constantly feed off the spool.

• Tap the line advance button only once to

advance line. If more line is needed, wait a

few seconds and tap again.

• Be sure to advance the line as it wears down.

If you wait too long to advance new line, the

existing line will wear down too short and

can retract into the spool. If this happens,

remove the spool and reroute the line out

of the spool. Reinstall the spool to the spool

housing.

2.

Remove the spool cover and spool

from spool housing (See Figure

23). Note: If spool spring comes off of spool

housing, replace spring into center of spool

housing. Note: If installing replacement

spool and line (P/N 731-07483), skip to step

8. Remove and discard any remaining line

in the spool.

3. Clean grass and other debris from the

spool and spool housing using a brush (See

Figure 24).

USING EDGER

1. Make sure trimmer/edger line is advanced

to full cutting length.

2. Roll the trimmer/edger using the edging

wheel attached to the cutting guard (see

Figure 30).

3. Start the trimmer/edger and trim along

edging lines. Be sure to keep the cutting

lines vertical.

Figure 30 - Edging

4. Insert 1 inch of line through small hole at

the base of spool (See Figure 25).

5. Evenly and tightly wind line around spool

in the direction shown on bottom of spool.

Continue winding until line is just below

rim of spool. (See ﬁ gure 26). Do not over

ﬁ ll. Overﬁ lling can cause jams.

6. Cut the line. Keep tension on line so line

does not unwind.

7. Insert cut end through eyelet in spool

housing. (See Figure 27)

8. Replace spring and spool into spool hous-

ing making sure line is not caught under

spool. (See Figure 28)

9. Align tabs on spool cover with slots in

spool housing. Replace spool cover onto

spool housing and snap into place. (See

Figure 29)
