install a new spool of cutting line as instructed above.
Align the tabs on the spool cover with the cut outs in the
u
housing.
(Original instructions)
Push the cover onto the housing until it snaps securely
u
into place.
If the cutting line protrudes beyond the trimming blade,
u
cut it off so that it just reaches the blade.

the following suggestions:
Carefully clean the spool cover and housing.
u
Remove the spool and check that the spring is in place.
u
Remove the spool and unwind the cutting line, then wind it
u
on neatly again as described above. Replace the spool as
instructed.
