Installing Cords 
The standard cord installation method is shown in Figures 11–13. Your trimmer is shipped 
from the factory with the cords installed in this manner. 
 
 
 
 
 
Note: After you install the cords and before trimming, engage the cutting head with the 
engine running and spin new cords for a few seconds so they pull tight and are set. 
1. Insert the ends of the cords into 
the openings in the line plate, as 
shown in Figures 11 and 12
There are different sized arrows at 
the insertion points to indicate 
what size cords fit the holes. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
2. Push the cord through until it 
comes out the center hole in the 
line plate as shown in Figure 12
You may also reference Figures 9 
and 10
 for a cross sectional look 
at installing the cords. Adjust the 
cords so the tips are even. 
 
 
3. Pull the cords through the loop 
and push the loop up into the 
line plate groove above them, as 
shown in Figure 13. The larger 
cord exits through the larger 
opening and the smaller cord 
through the smaller opening. Pull 
the cords tight. 
 
 
Important! When using PTA
 (Parallel Trimming Action), install the 
cutting cords in one of the bottom four line plates. Installing the cutting 
cords on the upper line plates can cause the cord to hit the wheel. For
