Replacing the nylon cord
WARNING:
• Never use metal wire, rope or the like. Use
recommended nylon cord only, otherwise it may
cause damage to the tool and result in serious
personal injury.
• Make sure that the cover of the nylon cutting
head is secured to the housing properly as
described below. Failure to properly secure the
cover may cause the nylon cutting head to fly
apart resulting in serious personal injury.
► Fig.22
Take off cover from housing, pressing two latches which
are slotted section oppositely on side of housing.
► Fig.23: 1. 80-100 mm
Cut a nylon line in 3 m. Fold the cutting line in two
halves, leave one of half longer 80-100 mm than
another.
► Fig.24
Hook the middle of the new nylon cord to the notch
located at the center of the spool between the 2 chan-
nels provided for the nylon cord.
Wind both ends firmly around the spool in the direction
marked on the head for right hand direction indicated
by RH.
► Fig.25
Wind all but about 100 mm of the cords, leaving the
ends temporarily hooked through a notch on the side of
the spool.
► Fig.26
Mount the spool on the cover so that the grooves and
protrusions on the spool match up with those on the
cover. Now, unhook the ends of the cord from their tem-
porary position and feed the cords through the eyelets
to come out of the cover.
► Fig.27
Align the protrusion on the underside of the cover with
the slots of the eyelets. Then push the cover firmly onto
the housing to secure it. Make sure the latches fully
spread in the cover.
