■Turn off the product and remove the battery pack for DC trimmer.
■Rotate the bump knob clockwise as necessary to align the arrows on
the bump knob with the arrows on the trimmer head housing.
■Insert the trimmer line into the eyelet on the trimmer head housing.
Push the trimmer line until the end of the line comes out on the
other side of the housing. Pull the trimmer line until equal amounts
of line appear on both sides of the housing.
NOTE: When replacing the trimmer line, do not insert more than
548 cm of line. Line may jam if more than 548 cm is loaded.
■Either by hand or using the speed winder, rotate the bump knob
clockwise to wind the line on the spool until approximately 15 cm
of line is showing on each side.
NOTE: After every five to seven revolutions of the speed winder,
pull both line ends outwards to tighten the spool for best loading
results and to help prevent line from tangling.
■Push the bump knob down while pulling on line(s) to manually
advance the line.
