x
direction of the arrow. Make sure to wind the line on
neatly and in layers. Do not criss-cross.

x
spool rim (31), cut the line. Let the line protrude approx.
6 cm from the spool and hold a finger on the line to keep
it in place. Do not overfill the spool. Approx. 8 m of

have 75% of its energy left after 1 month of storage.
After 6 months, 50% will remain. After prolonged storage,
the battery may need to be recharged.
The cutting line can dry out over time. Store prewound
x
spools and spare lengths of cutting line in a sealable
plastic bag with a tablespoon of water.
