Rewinding spool from bulk line
(use only .065 in. round diameter line)
(Fig. R, S, T)
Do not use square, star or other shaped line or larger diameter.
These may cause feeding issues or overload themotor.
Bulk line is also available for purchase from your local retailer.
NOTE: Hand wound spools from bulk line are likely to
become tangled more frequently than Craftsman factory
wound spools. For best results, factory wound spools
arerecommended.
To install bulk line, follow the steps below:
1. Unplugtrimmer.
• Remove the empty spool from the trimmer as described
in Replacing theSpool.
2. Remove any remaining cutting line from thespool.
3. Make a fold at the end of the cutting line at about 3/4
inch (19mm)
24
. Feed the cutting line into one of the
line anchoring slots
25
as shown in FigureR.
