How to thread the line into the spool of the Makita grass trimmer
How to replace line in any trimmer
Technological progress provides us with a lot of opportunities to get rid of manual labor. This includes, among other things, mowing grass, which required a lot of physical energy when using a conventional grass scythe. In modern conditions, this process is much easier, because the applied technique minimizes all costs. Devices such as electric and petrol trimmers have firmly taken the place of irreplaceable assistants in gardening. Mowing grass with their help has become more fun than hard and exhausting work.
Structurally, the grass trimmer consists of an engine, a boom and a working body, which, depending on the vegetation being cut, is either a mowing head or a milling disc. And if everything is more or less clear with the cutter, then sometimes questions arise with the nozzle. As a rule, they appear when the line ends.
How to properly wind the line on the reel? Understanding.
So, first unscrew the nozzle. This should be done by rotating the drum to the right. Here we have a drum with the remnants of an old fishing line in our hands. We open it. Most often, the lid is closed with latches that can be opened with a screwdriver, threading it through the holes and slightly pressing. Or you need to squeeze the latch and turn the cover in the direction of the arrow. In this case, the lid itself must be held, since reels with automatic line feed have a spring that, when straightened, can throw out all the inner parts of the drum. Gently pulling out the reel, remove the scraps of fishing line from it.
Now you need to take 5 meters of new line and fold it in half (to find the middle). In the middle part of the reel there is a notch (in some designs. a hole), for which we need to hook our fishing line. There is also an arrow on the spool showing the direction of winding. An important detail. if the reel has two compartments, then one half of the line should be wound in one direction, and the other in the other. When finishing winding, you need to leave 15-20 cm of line free. There are also two notches on the top ring of the coil, through which these free ends need to be passed. We dealt with the winding itself.
The last step in the line replacement process is to assemble the drum. First you need to install the spring and washers in their place. Then, holding the reel with one hand, with the other you need to thread the ends of the line into the corresponding holes on the sides of the nozzle. After that, install the coil in its place, tightening the line and being careful not to dislodge the spring. When all the internal elements of the nozzle take their places, you can close the drum with a lid. You just need to make some effort to ensure that the latches fall into place. Voila! The mowing head is ready for use!

Step three: complete the head assembly
Pull out the ends of the line through a pair of oval spool slots. Replace both washers and spring (if any) with the supplied new parts. Bend both ends of the line at right angles.
The final technical touch of the process of changing the line on the trimmer is the imposition of the cap on the head, followed by fixation by means of pushing force and slight twisting.
Pass each end into the hole at the base of the winding drum. Install the coil in the inner area of the head, resting on the spring. Put on the cover, align with the base and lightly push downwards with a small counterclockwise rotation, place the cover on the tabs of the clips. This completes the replacement procedure.
How to replace line on a trimmer?
Replacing the grass trimmer line with step-by-step instructions will allow even an inexperienced lawn mower owner to perform a rather difficult job.
However, before starting work on changing the line on the trimmer, it is necessary to ensure the safety of the work. In particular, measures should be taken to prevent unintentional or unintentional starting of the mower:
- exclude spontaneous start,
- remove battery (if applicable),
- place the tool on a platform convenient for work.
It is convenient to replace the grass trimmer line when the mower is on the table, and the foreman, who replaces the grass trimmer line, has the ability to approach the tool from any side.

Step one: securing and laying
Fold the end of the line in half. Place a blank over the spool on each side of each half of the winding zone. Wrap both halves completely around the winding drum. Pull the line through the loop.
The procedure for preparing the line engagement in the area of both winding sections of the drum. The loops are placed in specially made cutouts, after which the line is wound in each zone
It is enough to pull the line tightly and plant the knot in the groove made on each side of the winding drum.
