LINE REPLACEMENT
Pre-wound spools offer the most con-
venient method for replacing line and
ensuring optimum performance.
• Replacement spools are color-
coded to ensure use of the correct
spool with your unit. Be sure to use
the same color spool as the existing
spool.
NOTE: Always clear dirt and debris
from cutting head components when
performing any type of maintenance.
• Hold spool and unscrew cap by turn-
ing in the direction shown on top of
the cap.
• Remove line guide ring and spool.

cavity of empty spool. Ensure line
will feed into spool in the direction
shown on the spool (counterclock-

leaving 4 - 6 inches (10 - 15 cm)
unwound from center of spool.
INSTALLING SPOOL WITH LINE

Use a pre-wound spool or refill spool
with line. If using a pre-wound spool,
remove tape strip from line and spool.
REFILLING THE SPOOL WITH LINE
41_WARNING: Use only 0.080
inch (2 mm) diameter round line.
Other sizes and shapes of line will not
advance properly and will result in im*
proper cutting head function or can
cause serious injury. Do not use other
materials such as wire, string, rope,
etc. Wire can break off during cutting
and become a dangerous missile that
can cause serious injury.
1. Cut a length of 30 feet of 0.080 inch
(2 mm) diameter round Craftsman
