How to Rewind the String Head on a Trimmer
If you have been buying the pre-wound trimmer line spools for your trimmer you are spending your money unnecessarily. It is much cheaper for you to purchase the string and place it on the trimmer yourself, which can easily be done by following a few simple steps.
- Remove the spool head from the trimmer by simply pulling it off. Do not use too much force because you do not want to break the spool or the trimmer. Some brands of trimmers may require you to push down on the spool while turning it in a clockwise motion to take it off.
- Insert the end of the line through the small hole located in the center of the spool.
- Secure the end of the line so it will hold the remainder of the line in place when you start to wind it around the spool.
- Start winding the line around the spool in a clockwise motion making sure the rows is perpendicular to each other. Take your time to make sure the line goes onto the spool evenly. You do not want more line on one side of the spool than on the other.
- Continue to wind the line around the spool and stop just below the edge of the spool. You do not want to put too much line on the spool.
- Replace the spool head back into the trimmer.
- Push the end of the line through the feeder hole.
- Check to make sure the spool is secure because you do not want it to fall out when the unit is in use.
