its functioning.
Assembling the nylon string
Always use a until 3.0 mm - diameter nylon string. Using a nylon string of a different diameter might cause the
engine to overheat or burn, as well as voiding the warranty.
There are two possibilities to replace the cutting string:
• By winding a new string to the reel.

length. If the string is too long it is unlikely that it will be correctly released.
• Insert the folded end of the cutting string in the reel attachment [Fig. 14, page 13].
• Wind the string around the lower and top halves of the reel in tight symmetrical layers. Observe the winding
direction indicated in the reel.
