Never use metal-reinforced line, wire,

when installing trimming line on the unit. The line
may not release properly if the line is too long.
2. Hold the outer spool and turn the inner reel counterclockwise
to line up the arrows on the outer spool and inner reel (Fig. 17).

becomes difficult
or if the line jams,
