LINE REPLACEMENT
Always use Craftsman Hassle-
Free™ XTRA QUIET Spiral
Line. Choose the line size
best suited for the job at hand.
Red colored line is designed
for cutting grass and small
weeds. Black colored line is
designed for cutting larger
weeds and light brush.
NOTE: Before inserting new
line into the holes in
the cutting head,
identify the proper
holes. Follow
directions as shown
on the glide plate. Do
Not attempt to
remove the cutting
head from the unit
when replacing line.
NOTE: Do not mix lines. Use
2 black or 2 red only.
1.
Remove the old line and
line glide plate from the
cutting head.
2.
Clean entire surface of
cutting head.
3.
Reinstall line glide plate
(Fig. 10). The glide plate is
a keyed item and will only
fit one way. If it does not go into the cutting head smoothly, DO
NOT force it. Rotate the glide plate until it slides into the cutting
head easily.
NOTE: The glide plate must be installed in the cutting head before
inserting new line.
4.
Insert both ends of your line through the large holes in the side
of the cutting head (Fig. 11).
5.
Push and/or pull the line so that the line is snug against the hub and
is fully extended through the positioning tunnels. (Fig. 12)
6.
Correctly installed line will be the same length on both sides.
NOTE: Make sure that when installing new line, that the line is as close
to even as possible. Any variation in lengths may cause the unit
to vibrate excessively. If this happens, stop the unit and make
sure the line is even.
7.
Repeat steps 4 thru 6 to install the second trimmer line.
NOTE: Do not rest the Hassle-Free™ PLUS Cutting Head on the
ground while the unit is running.
Some line breakage will occur from:
• Entanglement with foreign matter
• Normal line fatigue
• Attempting to cut thick, stalky weeds
• Forcing the line into objects such as walls or fence posts
NOTE: During normal use the trimming line may become worn
unevenly which may cause excessive vibrations in the unit.
If this becomes uncomfortable or uncontrollable, stop the
unit and replace the line. Refer to the Line Replacement
instructions above.
