How to Wind Trimmer Line
Winding trimmer line is not difficult, but there are a few things you need to know before you start. The most important thing is to choose the right trimmer line for your needs. There are many different types of trimmer line, so it is important to choose one that is compatible with your trimmer. Once you have the right trimmer line, follow these simple steps to wind it onto your trimmer.
Step One: Prepare the Spool
Preparing the spool correctly is critical to successful line winding. To prepare the spool, first ensure that it is the correct size for your trimmer model by checking the user manual or the side of the trimmer for specifications. Once you have verified that the spool is the correct size, locate the arrows on the spool. In most cases, there will be an arrow on both ends of the spool, but some models only have an arrow on one end. The arrows indicate the direction in which the line should be wound.
If your spool has arrows on both ends, begin by holding the spool so that both arrows are pointing away from you. If there is only an arrow on one end of the spool, hold the spool so that the arrow is pointing away from you. Next, locate the tab in the center of the spool. The tab is usually made of metal or hard plastic and is used to securethe line in place once it has been wound onto the spool.
With your other hand, hold onto one end of the trimmer line and insert it into the space betweenthe tab and one ofthe flanges (the sides ofthe spool). It does not matter which flange you choose, as long as you insertthe line into space betweenthe tab and a flange.
Step Two: Attach the Trimmer Line
The second step is to take the trimmer line and attach it to the spool. The best way to do this is to thread the trimmer line through the holes in the spool. This will ensure that the trimmer line is wound evenly on the spool. If you have a hard time threading the trimmer line through the holes, you can try using a needle or a toothpick to help guide the trimmer line through.
Step Three: Begin Wrapping the Trimmer Line
Now that the trimmer head is off and the spring is wound, you can begin wrapping the trimmer line around the base. If your trimmer uses 0.065-inch-diameter line, wrap it around the spool in the direction shown by the arrows on the spool. If your trimmer uses 0.080-inch-diameter line, feed the line through the holes on either side of the spool and then wrap it around as shown by the arrows.
Step Four: Finish Wrapping the Trimmer Line
Once you have the trimmer line wrapped around the trimmer head a few times, it’s time to finish off the job by tying the end of the trimmer line to the starting point. This will secure the trimmer line in place so it doesn’t come unwound when you go to use your trimmer. To do this, simply take the end of the trimmer line and thread it through the hole in the center of the trimmer head. Then, pull it tight and tie it off in a knot. And that’s it! You’re now ready to get out there and start trimming your lawn.
Conclusion
As you can see, there are a few different ways that you can wind trimmer line onto your trimmer. Depending on the model of your trimmer, you may need to use a different method. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for changing the trimmer line on your particular model. With a little practice, you’ll be able to quickly and easily change the trimmer line on your own.
