2.
Pull the drum and spool assembly from the drive
shaft.
3. Separate the drum, spool and spring being careful
not to lose the two eyelets. Inspect for damaged
parts and replace as necessary.
NOTE: Inspect the internal diameter of the eyelets
to ensure they are smooth. Burrs or sharp edges
could cause the line to break at the eyelets.
Kaaz(R) Manual Feed Head Line Replacement
Replacement trimmer line is available from your local
Tor0 retailer in either single pieces or in 1-3 Ib. bulk
packages.
A
CAUTION: Do not substitute
any type of wire
or
other
string-like material as trimmer
line. Use only Tor0 approved
replacement monofilament line of
.080'
or
.095"
diameter. Use of improper line could
result in personal injury.
1.
To replace the trimmer line, first measure the
appropriate length of line:
20 feet
IMPORTANT The Kaaz(R) Head cuts with a dual
line, however,
DO
NOT CUT THE LINE IN HALF.

Using a felt tip pen, mark the trimmer line at the
halfway point.

Figure 144 until the mark and the retainer are
aligned.

4. Wind the
line
on the spool in the direction
of
the
arrow. Avoid criss-crossing the line as it may lead
to line advancing problems later.
NOTE: Do not allow the line to extend beyond the
smaller flange as this may create binding.
