5.
1. Remove the battery pack.
2. Clean any grass or debris from the trimmer head.
3.
Rotate the housing plate to align the red indicators
on the housing plate with the red indicators above
the eyelets (Fig 3).
Insert the line through either eyelet and push through
the head so an equal amount of line extends from
each eyelet.
Maintaining Line
Store extra line in a sealed plastic bag with a tablespoon
of water to avoid drying or cracking. Periodically sharpen
the line cutter to ensure the line does not extend too long
from the spool, which can cause motor overload.

Slowly rotate head anticlockwise until pin drops into
gear detent, locking the gear in place. Rotate the
trimmer head anticlockwise and remove from
spindle (Fig 2).
Do not use blades, brush cutting
wheels, accessories, or attachment
other than those recommended by MILWAUKEE®.
Serious injury or product damage may occur.
When replacing the line, for best performance use
2.0 mm (0.080") or 2.4 mm (0.095") diameter line. The
trimmer head also supports line diameters of
2.7 mm (0.105") and 2.9 mm (0.115").
Use only MILWAUKEE®trimmer line (see
Specifications). Replace the cutting line with either
6.1 m (20') of 2.4 mm (0.095") line or 7.6 m (25') of
2.0 mm (0.080") line.
NOTE: When used near abrasive surfaces or in dense
growth, the cutting line will wear faster.
Measure out 6.1 m (20') of 2.4 mm (0.095") line or
7.6 m (25') of 2.0 mm (0.080") line.
CAUTION
When replacing the line, use only
MILWAUKEE®2.0 mm or 2.4 mm
(0.080" or 0.095") diameter line. Any other line can
degrade performance or cause damage to the
trimmer.
6.
7. Check that the exposed line extends no further than
the line blade. If the exposed line is too long, continue
winding the housing plate or trim before use (Fig 5).
NOTE: Under normal operation, the remaining string
should be thrown from the spinning head during use.
Begin winding the line by rotating the housing plate
in the direction of the arrows. Continue twisting until
100 mm to 150 mm of line extends from the eyelets
(Fig 4).
Insert the pin supplied with Easy Load Trimmer
Head replacement into gearcase hole (Fig 1) .
NOTE: Do NOT remove the pin until new trimmer
head is installed.
2.
Replace the housing cover by aligning the clips with
the retaining apertures and press the housing until
the tabs click into place.
Replacing the Cutting Line
If any line remains in the head that needs to be discard-
ed, or a new line is to be used, the housing cover can
be removed and the existing line replaced.
1. Remove the battery pack.
2.
3. Remove the trimmer head housing cover.
Turn trimmer head over and press the two release
tabs on either side of the head.
4. Remove any existing line.
5. Replace the trimmer head housing cover by aligning
the retaining tabs with the corresponding apertures
and press the housing into place until the tabs click
into place.
NOTE: Ensure the housing cover appears level and
firmly fixed in place. If it appears tilted to one side,
