Safety First

Prepare the Line

  • Cut a piece approximately 3.0 metres long.

 

Feed the Line

  • Insert one end of the line into the eyelet on the side of the string head.
  • Push it through until it exits the opposite eyelet.
  • Pull the line until both sides are equal in length (max. 1.65 m per side).

 

Wind the Line

  • Use the speed winder or rotate the bump knob by hand to wind the line.
  • Leave about 12 cm protruding from each side of the trimmer head.
