How to change the cutting line in the cutting head of the MTD Smart BC 33D?

Question

Accepted Answer

To change the cutting line (damil) in the cutting head of your MTD Smart BC 33D brushcutter, you first need to access the spool by removing the cutting head. Turn off the device and ensure it is completely stopped for safety before proceeding.

Removing the cutting head: Start by unlocking the cutting head by turning it counterclockwise, or by pressing the release button if your model is equipped with one. Carefully remove the head to access the spool.

Loading the new line: Take the empty spool out of the spool cover. Unroll approximately 2 to 3 meters of suitable quality cutting line (standard diameter). Press the retention tab of the cover and insert both ends of the line into the designated exit holes. Make sure the line passes properly through the extraction mechanism.

Winding the line onto the spool: Wind the line tightly and evenly onto the spool following the winding direction indicated on it, usually clockwise. The line should be well tensioned during winding to avoid any detachment during use. Ensure that the end of the line is securely fixed or clicked into the designated groove.

Reassembling and using the Tap & Go system: Reinsert the loaded spool into the spool cover ensuring it clicks in properly. Replace the cutting head on the brushcutter and lock it in place by turning it clockwise. As soon as you plug in the machine, the Tap & Go system (automatic feed) will allow you to achieve the ideal line length by simply tapping the head on the ground. This action automatically releases the correct length of line for cutting.

Maintenance tip: If you notice that the line does not deploy correctly or that the automatic feed is not working, check that the line is not tangled in foreign objects and that the spool is properly inserted. For persistent issues, consult the technical manual or contact MTD customer service.
