Rewinding the nylon cutting cord
WARNING: After rewind the nylon cutting cord, make sure
that the cover of the nylon cutting head is secured to the housing.
Otherwise the nylon cutting head may fly apart and it may result in
serious personal injury.
To rewind the nylon cutting cord, follow the steps below.
1. Press the latches (A) and remove the cover (B). Remove the
remaining nylon cord. (Fig. 8)
2. Hook the middle of the new nylon cord to the notch located at
the center of the spool (C). One side of the cord should be about
80 mm longer than the other side. (Fig. 9)
3. Wind both ends firmly around the spool in the direction of the
"RH" arrow (D). "RH" indicates the winding direction for string
trimmers with right hand rotation.
4. Wind all but about 100 mm of the cords. Hold the ends
temporarily hooked through the notches (E). (Fig. 10)
5. Set the spool into the housing so that the grooves and
protrusions on the spool match up with those in the housing.
6. Unhook the ends of the cord from their temporary position and
feed the cords through the eyelets (F) to come out of the housing.
(Fig. 11)
7. Align the protrusion (G) on the underside of the cover with the
slots (H) of the eyelets. Then push the cover firmly onto the
housing to secure it. Make sure the latches (A) fully spread in the
cover. (Fig. 12)
