How to properly wind the line on the reel of lawn mowers

How does a line head work on a lawn mower why you need to know how it works

Depending on the manufacturer, the heads differ structurally not only externally, but also internally. Most drums have a pressure spring inside (semi-automatic and automatic). Above is an instruction on how to disassemble the trimmer head without a spring, i.e. on the head of the manual type. The principle of dismantling a semi-automatic head with a spring inside is almost identical to the instructions described above.

The principle of operation of the semi-automatic trimmer coil is as follows:

Inside the head there is a coil, which is fitted on the slots, which prevent its free movement.
A spring acts on the coil, which presses it against the splines in the cover structure
A fishing line is wound on the tip, the length of which depends on the tool itself. Typically this length is between 1 and 4 meters.
During the performance of work, if it is necessary to increase the length of the line, the protruding part of the drum is pressed, whereby it disengages from the splines. In this case, the line is unwound from the drum, increasing in length
After releasing the required amount of fishing line, release the pressure and continue cutting the grass

Knowing the design and device of the types of mowing or trimmer heads, it is necessary to go on to consider the process of threading the line into the trimmer spool. After all, it is this very moment that causes difficulties for most owners of special tools.

the lawn mower is manual. Replacing the line in the reel.

In this video I show how easy and simple it is to wind the line on the reel of a hand-held lawnmower yourself.

There are several options for the section of the line. So, it can be round, square, in the form of an asterisk with sharp edges. The last option is the most effective. However, it should be used only on powerful braids and at the same time you need to know how to thread the line into the trimmer spool. Therefore, we can conclude that the more powerful your lawn mower, the thicker the line should be.

Very often, those people who personally own dachas, vegetable gardens, are faced with the need to care for the lawn on the site. In such cases, you simply cannot do without an ordinary hand braid or trimmer. The first one is slowly receding into the second plan, and the number of people who use it is decreasing. The trimmer works automatically and does not require huge expenditure of energy. over, you don’t need a special skill to use it.

Method 2. how to properly put the line on the reel of lawn mowers with photo description and video

The second method differs from the first in that it is not a single piece of equipment that is charged into the coil, but segments from two parts. This method is used by manufacturers, and it is also suitable for those who have leftover material. The principle of how to insert two lengths of line into a lawn mower’s line is the same as with the first method, and to make sure of this, below are detailed instructions:

There are two equal length pieces of material that you can use.
One piece is taken, and the edge is bent in the form of a clamping bracket or hook, with which the fishing line will be fixed
Inside the coil there are holes in the form of a bracket for fixing, which are there for a reason. If they are not there, then the second option will not work. The appearance of these brackets is shown in the photo below. Each bracket is in its own half
The brace of the fishing line should be hooked on the bracket, and wind it in observing the direction of the arrow
The rig is wound until a 10-15 cm segment remains, which is fixed in the corresponding hole on the side of the guide
Manipulations with the second end of the fishing line are carried out in the same way.
The protrusions are inserted into the holes of the head, and then, removing the equipment from the temporary fasteners in the reel, a cover with latches is installed

The above instructions on how to install a fishing line in the lawnmower will help not only correctly, but also quickly make the replacement procedure. Assembling the trimmer coil, as mentioned above, can be done without removing the head, but in this case, you will need to conveniently fix the tool. Video instruction is presented below.

Tips and tricks on how to wind the line and what you need to know

There are some useful tips and tricks that will be useful to learn not only for beginners, but also for experienced mowers. These tips will help prevent negative consequences in the form of injury and improper functioning of the mechanism. These guidelines read as follows:

It is necessary to install the cover until it clicks. over, this is 2 or more clicks, which depends on the number of latches. If one of the latch does not snap into place, the drum may jump out when starting the tool and injure a person.
Do not reel in the line with a strong pull, or more than you can insert it into place. It is better not to wind up the rig than there will be more of it, as this will lead to negative consequences in the form of the impossibility of unwinding it if necessary
If you own a tool not with two line leads, but with one (usually these are low-power units), then the winding process is carried out in the same sequence as described above, only with the difference in the absence of a middle edge between the extreme bases of the coil
After replacing the material, it is necessary to first check the operability of the tool, and after that start mowing the grass. If you do not make a preliminary check, then the scaffolding can unwind and injure a person

The result of the work done is as follows. after the replacement of the new material, the usual one is enough for an area of up to 600 square meters, but taking into account the presence of a reinforcing layer on the fishing line. Conventional nylon materials last less, which is important to consider when working. Do not try to cut thick-stemmed grass with fishing line, as there are special metal discs or knives for this.

Trimmer for giving

What you need to know about trimmer line

A fishing line is a consumable that is made of nylon and serves as a cutting device. By means of this equipment, the grass is cut, which is ensured by rotating the tool head at a high frequency. This material has different thicknesses, which depends on its use on the corresponding tools low-power electric (from 1 to 1.6 mm), electric from 500 W (2-2.4 mm) and gasoline trimmers with lawn mowers (from 2.4 to 3. 2 mm).

The more powerful the tool, the correspondingly thicker the cutting equipment should be. This affects not only the quality of the grass cut, but also the service life of the material. If you are wondering how to wind the trimmer coil, then it is time to change and recharge the tool. With the onset of spring, this question is becoming more and more popular, so it’s time to figure out the step-by-step instructions for replacing the line in the trimmer reel.

Trimmer head with automatic line threading

Trimmer head types

Some models on the market have a reel with an automatic winding mechanism. It is enough for the owner to properly thread and fix the ends in the head, and the winding operation will be performed by the tool itself when it is turned on. It is almost impossible to wind the line incorrectly in a trimmer with such a head, since the coil independently determines the position of the antennae. The advantages of an automatic trimmer head include ease of threading the line, and the disadvantages are frequent breakdowns of the mechanism due to the complexity of the design and high cost.

Single-barbed trimmer spool

Single-barb lawn mowers reel

Many owners and experts note the ease of use and ease of refueling the single-whisker bobbin. Depending on the manufacturer, the length of the threaded line can vary from 2 to 5 meters. The end of the line is inserted into the head into a special technological groove or hole, and the winding is carried out in the direction opposite to the working rotation of the bobbin. Most reels have arrow marks on the outside of the body that indicate the direction of travel of the trimmer reel.

After winding, you need to leave a free end of 15-30 cm to increase the centrifugal force, which is decisive when removing the trimmer line in automatic and semi-automatic spools. We pass the left end through the working hole of the coil and assemble the head.

How to catch more fish?

Single string. In the modification of such a trimmer there is only one working line. This unit is used mainly for small jobs, such as trimming the grass.
Two-stringed. They can be both automatic and automatic. Here the package includes two strings. This trimmer is used for mowing and clearing areas.

Instructions for correctly winding the cutting thread onto the trimmer spool:

First of all, you need to disassemble the head. To do this, press the latch and turn the cover to the side. Next, the spool is removed.
Measure out the required amount of cutting thread and insert it into the slot.
Wind the line on both sides in the direction of the arrow.
Leave the ends 15 cm long uncoiled.
These ends fit into opposite slots.
Then the ends are fixed in the hole on the head.
After that, the spool is carefully inserted into the body, for this you need to slightly press on it.
If necessary, you can pull the remaining ends of the thread out. To do this, first pull one end of the thread, and then the other so that they can easily pass through the slots on the head.
Now you need to collect the grooves on the body and screw the cover.
Then press the spool and try to twist it all the way. If you hear a click, the spool has clicked into place.
Next, you need to pull the free ends of the thread to the end.

How to properly wind the line on the trimmer reel with your own hands: we paint the essence

What line is used for the trimmer? How to remove the spool from the trimmer? Threading bobbins with different types of bobbins. A few tips for properly threading the string into the trimmer.

Winding the line to the trimmer

Measured and accurate dismantling of the spool from the spit coil makes it possible to go directly to the winding of the line. The design features of the head, the number and location of the fixing holes dictate the sequence of actions when performing this operation, and also determine the methods used. Today there are several types of reels, depending on the number of line antennae and the methods of threading it:

Trimmer head with one working mustache;
A bobbin with two line tendrils;
Auto winding reel.

Now, having removed and disassembled the coil, we proceed, in fact, to winding.

How does a line head work on a lawn mower why you need to know how it works

The principle of operation of the semi-automatic trimmer coil is as follows:

Inside the head there is a coil, which is fitted on the slots, which prevent its free movement.
A spring acts on the coil, which presses it against the splines in the cover structure
A fishing line is wound on the tip, the length of which depends on the tool itself. Typically this length is between 1 and 4 meters.
During the performance of work, if it is necessary to increase the length of the line, the protruding part of the drum is pressed, whereby it disengages from the splines. In this case, the line is unwound from the drum, increasing in length
After releasing the required amount of fishing line, release the pressure and continue cutting the grass

The advantage of a tool with a line is that this consumable does not require sharpening, compared to metal discs. In addition, if a stone or a tree comes across on the way, the line simply breaks off, without negatively affecting the gearbox and engine of the tool, as is the case with metal cutting discs.

How to remove the spool from the trimmer and remove the line

Initially, remove the line from the trimmer spool before inserting it into the trimmer spool. A reel or aiming device is a device that sits inside the mowing head, bobbin or drum. There are different types of heads (depending on the manufacturer), but the principle of replacing the line on the reel is the same for everyone. First of all, we will figure out how to remove the head from the tool, as well as how to get the drum and fishing line out of it.

The instruction on how to unscrew the manual head on the trimmer is as follows:

Turn the tool upside down and, if necessary, clean it from dirt. With two fingers of one hand, grip the cover latches (on the mowing head), which are symmetrically positioned to each other. After lightly pressing them inward, remove the protective cover from the drum
Next, remove the line spool from the drum shaft. It is mounted on a shaft without fasteners, therefore it can be dismantled with one hand
The main part of the drum is fixed with a screw, which must be unscrewed with a screwdriver with an appropriate tip or bit
To unscrew, hold the drum base with one hand, and unscrew it counterclockwise with a screwdriver with the other.
After that, you can start dismantling. To do this, you do not need to pull it with all your strength, but slightly shaking it to the sides, slowly disengage it from the metal shaft on which the drum is seated.
When reinstalling, fit the head into the square slots

This process is not difficult, and as you understand, there is no need to dismantle the entire head if you know how the replacement is performed. When dismantling, consider the following nuances:

Periodic removal of the head is recommended to prevent corrosion of the threaded connection. If you never unscrew the screw, then if necessary, it will be difficult and even impossible to do this.
If the screw has a four-sided bore of the head, then for unscrewing it is necessary to select a screwdriver or bits of a suitable size in order to exclude the licking of the edges on the head
When assembling the unit, treat the threaded seat with lubricants, for example, grease or machine oil.
If the edges on the screw are licked, then special clamping pliers can be used to unscrew it.
There are drums that do not require preliminary disassembly. To dismantle them, grab it and rotate in the opposite direction to the clockwise direction

Knowing how to disassemble the drum, you should continue to figure out how to replace the trimmer line. The video below shows a detailed process on how to open the trimmer coil and disassemble it.

What you need to know about trimmer line

Method 1. how to properly wind the line or put it on a reel and choose the required length

To implement this method, you will need to first prepare a fishing line of the required length (usually up to 4 meters). It all depends on the thickness of the equipment used, as well as the design of the coil. There is an easy way to find out the amount of line you need to refuel to charge the reel. To do this, wind the rig inside the coil until it is aligned with the side protrusions. In this case, the rigging should not go beyond these extreme protrusions.

The thicker the equipment used, the shorter its length will be needed and vice versa, the thinner, the longer the segment will be needed.

The instruction on how to properly tuck the equipment into the trimmer or lawn mowers is as follows:

To begin with, a piece of fishing line that was prepared to be installed in a reel must be folded in half. In this case, one edge should protrude more than the second by 10-15 cm
After that, take the second end from the other side, and fold it in half. Move to it so that the measured protrusion of 15 cm is preserved
There is a slot in the inner baffle of the coil, into which the resulting loop should be inserted. The cut in the wall is shown in the photo below.
Next, we find out the direction of winding the line. If you wind the rig in the wrong direction, then it will not function correctly, and you will need to redo the work. To insert the line and wind it in the correct direction, inspect the surface of the spool. The direction of winding should be indicated on it (in 99% of cases, this direction is indicated). What the direction indicator on the coil looks like is shown in the photo below.
This arrow-shaped pointer can also have the designation, as in the example above “WIND LINE”, which means the direction of winding. If the pointer is missing on the reel, then you need to look at the head. There is a direction of its rotation on the head, and in order to properly wind the line, wind it on the drum in the opposite direction to the indication of the arrow indicator. So, if the arrow is on the tip, then you need to wind in the indicated direction, and if it is not there, then you should wind against the direction of the arrow on the surface of the head
Having decided on the direction of rotation, you should start winding. Each end should be guided in its own groove. If there is no separator, then the equipment must be laid in the appropriate distribution order.
When almost all the fishing line is wound on a reel, you will need to do the following. place a short part in the hole of the side wall of the pickup, the protrusion of which should be up to 10-15 cm, and then do the same procedure with the other end, placing it in the hole on the parallel side
We insert the coil into the head, first passing the ends of the fishing line into the holes of the drum
We put the drum in place and, by pulling the ends of the line, we disengage them from the temporary clamps in the wall of the reel. After that, you can put on the cover until the latch engages.
This completes the process of how to replace the fishing line on the trimmer, and if necessary, you can only trim the ends (if their length does not suit), and install the assembled drum on the tool

With how to put the drum in place, no difficulties arise. There is also a second way, how to charge the mowing equipment in the lawn mower. What is the difference, and how is the second method of threading the line on the reel of lawn mowers carried out, we will find out in detail.

Learning to properly wind the line on the trimmer reel and lawn mowers installation instructions

Owners of private houses know how necessary this type of tool is, such as a trimmer. It can be gasoline and electric, but they differ in the design of power units. For cutting grass in areas where there are stones, trees and other obstructing objects, a fishing line is used as a cutting device. This consumable wears out during use, so how to wind the trimmer coil, we will consider in detail in the material.

Step-by-step instructions on how to wind the trimmer reel and lawn mowers

In order not to be mistaken with the choice of a suitable fishing line for your tool, you should first disassemble the head and look at the side wall of the reel. This information is usually presented on a tip, which will not allow you to make mistakes with the use of the appropriate equipment.

If there is information on the reel about the diameter of the line you can fill in, then this information can be clarified in the instructions. Having decided on the thickness or diameter of the rig, it remains to figure out how to charge it. There are two ways to do this, but not all of them are applicable. Let’s consider both methods in detail, and depending on which models of lawn mowers and trimmers you use, you decide on your own which option is suitable.
