MAINTENANCE
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.
SPOOL REPLACEMENT
See Figure 13.
Use only 0.065 in. diameter round or 0.065 in. twisted line.
Use original manufacturer's replacement line for best per-
formance.
Make sure the switch trigger is locked out in the off posi-
tion.
Push in tabs on side of spool retainer.
Pull spool retainer up to remove.
Remove the old spool.
To install the new spool, make sure the line is captured in
the slot on the new spool. Make sure the end of the line
is extended approximately 6 in. beyond the slot.
Install the new spool so that the line and slot align with the
eyelet in the string head. Thread the line into the eyelet.
Pull the line extending from the string head so the line
releases from the slot in the spool.
Reinstall the spool retainer by depressing tabs into slots
and pushing down until spool retainer clicks into place.

Clean all foreign material from the trimmer.
Store it in a place that is inaccessible to children.
