Winding up the spool
Asanalternativetoanewspool,youcan
purchasea2.4mm-thick,5m-longnylon
thread in specialist shops and wind this
yourself onto the spool.
The groove (34) on the spool (33) is
used to clamp the nylon thread so
that it does not unwind by itself.
1. Pull the new line through both line
outlet loops (32) of the spool cap (15).
Make sure that the two arrows point
directly at each other.
2. Make a longitudinal adjustment with
both ends of the line so that the spool
cap (15) is positioned at about the cen-
tre.
3. Turn the rotary knob (15a) in the di-
rection of the arrow indicated on the
bottom of the spool cap (15) to wind
the line onto the spool (33). Winding
is easier if you apply pressure to the
rotary knob (15a) while turning it.
