HOW TO FIT NEW TRIMMER THREAD
When you need to replace or fi t new trimmer thread,
remove the plug from the power socket!
Depending on the reel design:
- either depress the release lugs on the sides of the
hubcap. Pull the hubcap off of the prop shaft.
- or remove the retaining cap by turning it counterclock-
wise.
Remove the trimmer thread cartridge from the prop
shaft and either replace it with a new cartridge or wind
on new thread. (If you wish to wind on the new thread,
then take a thread about 5-6 m long, fold it in two and
fi x the middle of this thread in a spool slot. Wind the
thread around the spool according to the arrow).
Fix two ends of the thread in the spool slots for the
time being.
Push 150 mm of thread from one end of the reel
through the hole in the hubcap and 150 mm of thread
from the other end through the second hole.
Ensure no thread is trapped.
Refi t the hubcap assembly to the prop shaft and push it
in until it clicks in position (or secure the hubcap by the
retaining cap in case of another design).
Release the thread ends from the spool slots by sharp-
ly pul ling them out.
