how to Replace the trimmer Line
For the best performance, use a heavy gauge (0.155”
diameter) trimmer line. Cut the length of the trimmer
line to 1.5 inches. Use the length guide, located on
the shield, to make sure the trimmer line is the correct
length.
Do not allow the length of the lines to vary more than
one inch. This is important to make sure the trimmer
head is balanced and does not vibrate.
IMPORTANT: To extend the life of the trimmer line,
keep the trimmer line moist. If not kept moist, the
nylon trimmer line will become dry and brittle.
Keep extra trimmer line in a can of water. The
line will then stay flexible and easy to change. A
flexible line will also last much longer.
