Passo 5

There should be slots to coil cutting line around, with a hole in each for line to be anchored. If no line is coiled around the part, insert the end of about three feet of cutting line into each of the holes, and coil the cutting line snugly around the part, making sure that there are no tangles in the line.

If there are plastic tabs on the plastic part to hold the cutting line, insert each line into one these tabs. Leave approximately a foot of each line hanging out from the coils.

Passo 7

On the weed whacker rotor, there will be eyelets for the cutting line to be fed through. Feed each line through each of these eyelets, being careful not to let the line come uncoiled.
