A gasoline or electric grass trimmer is an indispensable tool in the arsenal of a modern summer resident or owner of his own home.

Thanks to these gardening devices, even a large garden plot can be mowed with ease. After purchasing this tool and performing several mows, many people think about how to properly wind the line on the reel of the grass trimmer. For an inexperienced user, the first operation to replace it will seem problematic and time-consuming, since the developers often do not fully reflect the instructions for replacing the fishing line in the operating manual.

Preparation for winding the line

Before the winding process, it is necessary to remove the spool with line from the body. Depending on the manufacturer, power and type (electric or gasoline), there are three design types of trimmers:

This model provides the ability to install a knife. Removing the coil in such models is done by means of two keys recessed into the coil body. To mount the trimmer knife, it is necessary to align the hole of the reel and the rod, and then insert the device in the form of a steel pin (screwdriver, iron bar). After fixing the coil, the body can be easily unscrewed by hand in a clockwise direction.

Preliminary preparation

First of all, to wind the fishing line, you need to remove the spool (bobbin, spool) from the grass trimmer. specific actions will depend on the complexity of the configuration and the type of the product itself:

small electric grass trimmers with a working motor and bottom reel usually have side buttons on either side of the reel. When pressed at the same time, the upper part of the spool together with the inner content for winding the line is detached, while the lower part remains on the trimmer. It is advisable to disassemble the bobbin on a flat, smooth place so that the spring included in the structure does not jump out and is not lost;
electric and gasoline grass trimmers with a curved bar without the possibility of installing a knife, as a rule, have spools with a special wing: in such designs, hold the spool in a stationary position with one hand, and rotate the locking reel on the rod with the wing nut counterclockwise with the other. After disconnecting the nut, the entire bobbin is removed.
electric and petrol grass trimmers with the option to mount the blade on a straight bar (e.g. STIHL grass trimmers) have a hole under the reel. For the rod to remain stationary, a screwdriver or other suitable object is inserted into this hole and, with slow rotation, such a mutual position is achieved when the screwdriver enters the hole and the bobbin is fixed. The spool body is then rotated clockwise (left-handed) and removed from the grass trimmer.

For the second and third cases, the coils, depending on the design, are disassembled in different ways. In bobbins with a lamb, a lamb is unscrewed, in coils with latches, the latches are pressed and one part of the coil is released from the other. If the halves of the bobbin are connected by thread, then it is enough to turn them by hand in opposite directions until they are completely unscrewed.

We carry out the winding of the fishing line

Slowly completed disassembly of the spool-spool without losing its spare parts allows you to move on to the main task. winding the fishing line into the reel. Technological features of the spool design and the number of working antennae determine the sequence of actions.

Coil with two working tendrils

In this type of spool, you should determine the number of grooves for winding the line, lying on the inside of the spool:

one groove. both antennae are wound together in one groove;

two grooves. each antenna is wound on an individual groove.

For both cases, a line with a length of 2-3 m is taken.In single-groove reels, the line is pulled into a through hole, its ends (antennae) are folded together and aligned, after which they are wound in the opposite direction of rotation of the bobbin on the rod side. inside the arrow usually indicates the correct direction of winding. If there are fixing grooves, the ends of the fishing line are threaded through them or held with the fingers of the free hand, they are threaded into the through hole of the outer half of the bobbin, the spool is closed and attached to the trimmer bar.

The difference in line winding in double-groove spools is that initially a 2-5 m long line segment is folded in half (to determine the middle fold), and the fold loop is inserted into a special groove between the grooves. Both antennae of the fishing line are wound each along its own groove, fixing the antennae and assembling the coil is similar to the above option with one groove.

The first execution of this procedure, perhaps, will seem long and rather laborious, but with time and experience this task will be solved much faster and easier.

The video below will clearly show how to thread the line into the spool of the grass trimmer and wind it correctly. this operation is not difficult and with some patience it will certainly be crowned with success:

Automatic line winding on a spool

There is a type of reel in which the automatic mechanism winds on its own. from the user it is enough only to correctly fill the line. The fishing line is passed through a hole on the inner part of the body, its antennae without winding are passed through the hole on the outer body, the reel is assembled, and when the winding button is rotated, the fishing line inside is wound independently. In such a spool, it is impossible to make the winding wrong: the mechanism itself will determine the correct direction, since it can only turn in one direction.

a grass trimmer is a necessary and useful tool for a summer cottage and a private house. Many people own and actively use it, but not everyone knows how to replace the line in the trimmer, especially at first.

In this instruction, we will walk through the entire replacement process step by step. Looking ahead, there are two ways to line the trimmer spool. There is no fundamental difference. the difference lies in the fact that in the first case one line will be refueled, folded in half, and in the second there will be two such lines.

The first way

The prepared segment (in this case, it is 4 meters) is bent approximately in half. one segment should be 15-20 cm longer, and inserted into a special slot located on the dividing wall.

The line is wound in the direction determined earlier. This is done in an interference fit, the line is neatly distributed. In this case, you need to wind a segment that is longer in the section that is closer to the button.

There are designs that do not provide for dividing the coil into two sections. This does not change anything, the line is wound in a similar way. You just need to make sure that the segments do not overlap with each other.

The first should end that section, which is located at the bottom of the coil, i.e. the one closest to the fixing holes.

This tip fits into the corresponding hole in diameter. The line is securely fixed.

A long segment is wound half a turn. There he is similarly fixed. In this case, the segment crosses another section of the coil.

A long segment is wound another half turn

The fixed ends of the coiled line are inserted into the holes in the spool body of the grass trimmer.

The fixed ends of the coiled line are inserted into the holes in the spool body of the grass trimmer

The coil is attached to the body. The ends of the fishing line are pulled with effort so that the fishing lines previously fixed in the holes of the reel jump out from there. It is easily identified by the characteristic sound (click).

The line was changed successfully. In this case, you need to put it back on the grass trimmer and you can start mowing the grass.

It should be repeated, there is no need to remove the spool from the grass trimmer. this was done to clarify the process of replacing the fishing line. You can disassemble the spool in place, wind it on the spool and put it back.

Tips can and should be trimmed to prevent them from hitting the grass trimmer cover.

Preliminary preparation

small electric grass trimmers with a working motor and bottom reel usually have side buttons on either side of the reel. When pressed at the same time, the upper part of the spool together with the inner content for winding the line is detached, while the lower part remains on the trimmer. It is advisable to disassemble the bobbin on a flat, smooth place so that the spring included in the structure does not jump out and is not lost;
electric and gasoline grass trimmers with a curved bar without the possibility of installing a knife, as a rule, have spools with a special wing: in such designs, hold the spool in a stationary position with one hand, and rotate the locking reel on the rod with the wing nut counterclockwise with the other. After disconnecting the nut, the entire bobbin is removed.
electric and petrol grass trimmers with the option to mount the blade on a straight bar (e.g. STIHL grass trimmers) have a hole under the reel. For the rod to remain stationary, a screwdriver or other suitable object is inserted into this hole and, with slow rotation, such a mutual position is achieved when the screwdriver enters the hole and the bobbin is fixed. The spool body is then rotated clockwise (left-handed) and removed from the grass trimmer.

Coil with one working tendril

The simplest option and uncomplicated sequence of actions:

The dimensions of the reel and the length of the original factory winding determine the recommended length of the line for winding. 2 5 m.
One end of the line is inserted into the fixing technological hole located inside the spool.
The fishing line is wound on the drum in the opposite direction of the spool rotation on the trimmer product. as a rule, on the inside of the reel, an arrow indicates in which direction the winding is carried out.
A small section of the fishing line is left free to lead it out. it is fixed in a specialized groove on the inner side of the bobbin, designed to hold the winding when assembling the bobbin into working condition.
The left end of the line is passed through the hole in the outer part of the reel.
The bobbin halves are assembled and put on the trimmer bar.

How do I load the line into the spool of the grass trimmer? Video instruction

Warranty production of the factory fill of the grass trimmer will inevitably require a line change. Having a very rough idea of how to thread the line into the reel of a grass trimmer on their own, beginners are reluctant to take up this business. However, with some skills, mastering this simple science does not present any difficulties, and the similar instruction presented below will make this process as easy as possible.

Coil with two working tendrils

In this type of spool, you should determine the number of grooves for winding the line, lying on the inside of the spool:

one groove. both antennae are wound together in one groove;
two grooves. each antenna is wound on an individual groove.

The first execution of this procedure, perhaps, will seem long and rather laborious, but with time and experience this task will be solved much faster and easier.

How to replace the line on an electric trimmer

In fact, it makes no difference which oblique you use, be it electric or gasoline. Threading is the same. The only difference is that if you use a petrol grass scythe, you get more freedom, as you are not limited by the cable that is present on the electric scythe.

Yes, do not hesitate to use the special videos on installing or threading the line in an electric scooter, which can teach you much faster than simple reading.

How to disassemble the grass trimmer coil. Changing the line on the trimmer.

For both cases, a line with a length of 2-3 m is taken.In single-groove reels, the line is pulled into a through hole, its ends (antennae) are folded together and aligned, after which they are wound in the reverse direction of rotation of the bobbin on the rod side. inside the arrow the correct direction of winding is ordinarily indicated. If there are fixing grooves, the ends of the line are threaded there or held with the fingers of the free hand, threaded through the through hole of the outer half of the bobbin, the spool is locked and attached to the trimmer bar.

How to change the line on the trimmer

Below we have provided step-by-step instructions for replacing the grass trimmer thread.

The first thing to do is to unplug the tool and turn off the engine. Then remove the grass trimmer head. This can be done using a simple screwdriver and dropping it into the hole of the gearbox to prevent the shaft from turning. And then just unscrew

They are usually unscrewed in a clockwise direction, but different models have different mechanisms, so it may have to be turned in the opposite direction. But if suddenly, for some reason, you cannot figure it out, then we strongly recommend that you refer to the user manual to understand how to disconnect it.

Second. After removing the mowing head, open it. This can be done by means of clamps that are located opposite each other. By pressing on them, you can remove the head cover, and then pull out the spool on which the line is wound. By pulling it out, you can determine what type it belongs to. There are one-piece and two-piece bobbins

We disassemble how to tuck the line into the coil of the grass trimmer in two versions

So, there is only one option. we load the line into a single-section reel. The prepared piece of thread is folded in half and pushed into the spool. Then, we begin to wind both ends in the same direction, which will be indicated by the arrow on the spool. At the end of winding, do not forget to check that different ends of the thread are looking in different directions.

Option two. winding the line with a two-piece reel. The pre-prepared thread is divided into two parts, and its ends must be fixed: this must be done by placing them in special fasteners

Winding is carried out, as in the first case, along the arrow indicated on the spool. Both segments should be wound so that they do not intersect. Further, the ends of the thread should be fixed in the grooves and divorced on opposite sides.

The spring is then inserted into the reel and the whole thing is placed in the mowing head. When placing the reel in the grass trimmer, you need to gently hold the spring parallel while inserting the line into the slots of the brush head. And in the end, it just needs to be secured with the final part, that is, with a lid.

After threading the grass trimmer, you need to check it. If you did everything correctly, everything will work, but if you made a mistake, we recommend that you read the article again, or even better, if you watch the video on how to install a line on a reel in a trimmer.

How to remove the line from the grass trimmer spool

Over time, the cutting element of the head wears out, and it becomes necessary to pull out the remnants of the old line. Not everyone knows how to do this. Our step-by-step instructions plus a video on how to pull the thread from the spool of the grass trimmer, which you can find on the net, will help in solving this issue.

It is necessary to disassemble the mowing head

Complicated ? Of course not. But if, nevertheless, doubts creep into you that for some reason you cannot do this, then of course find and watch the video how to pull out or how to wind the thread on the reel of the brushcutter.

Line selection

In order for the grass trimmer to work “like a clock”, you need to choose the right line, that is, choose it taking into account the grass trimmer model and the type of work. Two important parameters in this matter are diameter and section.

The diameter of the fishing line must correspond to that recommended for this model (it must be indicated in the product passport). The cross-section of the fishing line is round, square, with sharp edges (pentahedron). A round line is designed for mowing young grass and lawn, square and pentagonal line will come in handy if the grass is coarse and weeds have grown on the lawns.

Sluggishly completed disassembly of the spool-spool without losing its spare parts allows you to proceed to the main task. winding the fishing line into the spool. Technological features of the spool design and the number of working antennae determine the sequence of actions.

The simplest option and an easy sequence of actions:

DEWALT 40V MAX String Trimmer (DCST990): How to Replace Trimmer Head Spool Line

The dimensions of the reel and the length of the unique factory winding determine the recommended length of the line for winding. 2 5 m.
One end of the line is inserted into the fixing technological hole located on the inside of the spool.
The fishing line is wound on the drum in the reverse rotation of the spool on the trimmer product direction. usually, on the inner side of the bobbin, an arrow indicates in which direction the winding is being carried out.
A small section of the fishing line is left free to bring it out. it is fixed in a special groove on the inner side of the bobbin, created to hold the winding when assembling the bobbin into working condition.
The left end of the line is passed through the hole on the outside of the bobbin.
The bobbin halves are assembled and put on the trimmer bar.

In this type of spools, you should find the number of grooves for winding the line, lying on the inside of the reel:

one groove. both antennae are wound together along one groove;
two grooves. who’s antennae is wound along a personal groove.

The difference in line winding in two-groove spools is that at first a 2-5 m long line is folded in half (to determine the middle fold), and the fold loop is inserted into a special groove between the grooves. Both antennae of the fishing line are wound on their own groove, fixing the antennae and assembling the coil is similar to the above option with one groove.

The first execution of this process, you, will seem long and rather laborious, but over the years and experience this task will be solved much faster and easier.

The video below will clearly show how to thread the line into the reel of the grass trimmer and wind it correctly. this operation is not difficult and with some patience it will certainly be crowned with success:

There is a type of reel in which the automatic mechanism winds without the help of others. from the user you will have enough to correctly fill the line. The fishing line is passed through a hole on the inside of the body, its antennae without winding are threaded through the hole on the outer body, the reel is assembled, and when the winding button is rotated, the fishing line is wound from the inside without the help of others. In such a spool, it is unrealistic to make the winding wrong: the mechanism itself will determine the correct direction, since it can only rotate in one direction.

Grass trimmer head modification

The mowing heads of the grass trimmer can be of various modifications: single-line for trimming the lawn (mows with one line of fishing line); two-string for mowing grass and land clearing with automatic line feed or manual string length adjustment.

Modern growers are increasingly offering gardeners versatile grass trimmers with two-line automatic mowing heads.

Trimmer head with two antennae

After removing the spool from the spool body, we determine the number of strands for winding the line (1 or 2). There is no fundamental difference between bobbins with one and two grooves, but if carelessly threading into the twin groove, there will be operational problems. Due to the likelihood of interlacing adjacent lines of the tool, a situation may arise when, after wear of the working antennae, it is impossible to remove new ones.

Regardless of the number of streams, a fishing line with a length of 1.5 to 3 meters is taken for refueling. Winding must be done in the opposite direction to the rotation of the head, since winding in the direction of travel will lead to the fact that the line will not be removed from the reel. After the fishing line is tucked into the grass trimmer coil, thread the free ends (15-30 cm) into special holes. Next, we assemble the head in the reverse order of disassembly and check the operability. Do not worry if the ends of the two antennae are very different in size, because when you start the grass trimmer, the knife installed on the protection will cut off the excess.

Preparation for winding the line

How to wind line around the spool of a grass trimmer: key points

A gasoline or electric grass trimmer is an indispensable tool in the arsenal of a modern summer resident or owner of his own home.

Single-barb grass trimmer reel

Many owners and specialists note the ease of use and ease of refueling the bobbin with one mustache. 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 grass trimmer reel.

After winding, you need to leave a free end of 15-30 cm to enhance 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.

Winding the Line to the Grass Trimmer

Measured and accurate dismantling of the spool from the spool of the grass scythe 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.

Grass trimmer head with automatic line threading

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 grass trimmer with such a head, since the coil independently determines the position of the antennae. The advantages of the automatic grass 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.

How to wind the line onto the spool of the grass trimmer

If you regularly mow your lawn, sooner or later you will want to know how to wind the line around the grass trimmer. Brushcutter manufacturers do not provide such information, so equipment owners often find themselves in a difficult situation. The guaranteed production of the fishing line requires its regular replacement, otherwise it cuts the grass poorly or removes only young plants. Replacing consumables is not difficult. just watch the video or read our instructions, which will greatly facilitate the process.

How to choose the right grass trimmer line

For installation on brushcutters, ordinary nylon scaffolding (cord) is used. The material can have a different thickness, which depends on the type and power of the tool. When figuring out how to thread the grass trimmer reel, it is advisable to consult the manufacturer’s instructions for the correct line values for your particular model. As a rule, its thickness is:

for low-power electric trimmers. from 1 to 1.6 mm;
for electric trimmers from 0.5 kW. from 2 to 2.4 mm;
for gasoline devices. in the range of 2.4-3.2 mm.

When buying, it does not hurt to consider the structure of the forest. Curly is more suitable for cutting young plants, round. for coarser grass, and notched. for thin stems. On average, it will take 2–4 meters of cord to fill the reel. Winding more than the manufacturer’s recommendation can hinder the movement of the scaffold and make it difficult to pull out new ends when mowing the lawn.

How to fill the grass trimmer coil step by step

To properly rewind the line on the grass trimmer, the main thing is to follow the replacement steps and safety rules.

Unplug the electric grass trimmer before disassembling it. The trimmer head on any tool consists of a cover, a cover and a bobbin with wood. The way to remove it depends on the design of the grass braid:

Small devices with a spool at the bottom usually have keys on the sides of the spool. If you press them at the same time, the upper part of the spool will detach along with the thread, and the lower part will remain on the tool.
To wind the line around the spool of the curved-bar grass trimmer, find a special lamb on the spool. In such models, the head is dismantled by holding the spool and simultaneously rotating the wing nut against the clock hand. Once the nut is unscrewed, the entire coil can be removed.
If a gasoline or electric grass trimmer has the function of installing a knife, then you will need a screwdriver to disassemble it. To remove the head, find a hole under the spool, insert a screwdriver into it, and then wind the spool clockwise and remove it from the grass braid.

It is important to mention that the cord is placed on the spool, which is located inside the head. To get it, you need to disassemble the head. Traditionally, there is a special lock on its body, which, when pressed, opens access to the forest. To remove the bobbin, press the latch and, holding it with one hand, turn the head cover clockwise.

In some types of trimmers, latches are not provided, so you have to disassemble the case. When disassembling, it is important to remember in what sequence all the elements of the head were removed, so that after replacing the scaffold, assemble them in the same order, but only in the reverse order.

Brushcutter heads can vary in design, so the replacement of the line on an electric trimmer or its gasoline counterpart is carried out taking this moment into account. If the head has a dividing flange, the cord is changed as follows:

Measure the required amount of scaffold, fold it in half, and then fix it with a fold in a special groove. If there is no such groove, the cord will need to be cut into two halves and the ends of each of them must be attached to the holders that the manufacturer provides in the upper and lower parts of the spool between the bead.
Before you start winding the fishing line, you should determine in which direction the winding will be carried out. Usually the direction can be seen as an arrow on the spool.
The edges of the cord are inserted into the grooves between the bead and the reel is started to rotate so that the cord winds in the direction of the arrow. Both one and the other half of the line are laid in the same direction.
When threading the line into the spool of the grass trimmer, at the end of winding, the free edges of the line must be pulled into the holes on the spool. They are placed in a perpendicular direction to each other.

If the coil does not have a dividing edge, the wood is cut into two halves and their ends are placed in the holes that are located at the top of the coil. Wind both parts of the cord in the direction of the arrow, making sure that they do not cross. After winding, the free edges of the scaffold are laid on the sides of the bobbin, and if there are slots in it, then they are fixed.

The instructions above apply to trimmer heads with 2 antennae. There are other winding options. If you need to figure out how to tuck the line into a grass trimmer that has a single-barbed head, note that the process is similar, but the forest is not folded in half. In the presence of four antennae, four parts of the thread are used, which are placed alternately in the holes of the head.

The spool is installed in the head, the wood is taken out of the side blades and tightened. Next, the cord is tightly fixed and the lid is closed. The last step will be to install the reel on the braid and pull the fishing line. so that when trimming plants, it does not come into contact with the protective casing.

If you know how to properly wind the line around the grass trimmer, you can ensure its full and high-quality work. Timely replacement of the cord is a guarantee of an even haircut and a long service life of the tool.

How to tuck line in a grass trimmer. Preparatory stage

Before I tell you how to tuck the line into the grass trimmer, a few words about the principles of choosing this cutting material and about the preparation of the workplace. When choosing a thread for a brushcutter, the following factors must be taken into account:

The diameter is always indicated on the packing box. You will be able to wind the line with a diameter larger than the original one on the spool. But in the best case, you will have problems with replenishing the cutting end, especially if the trimmer has an automatic type reel. At worst, you won’t even be able to push the end through the outlet.

This indicator will determine how many turns you can wind the fishing line inside the coil. With an excess length, you will have a surplus that you just have to cut off. Insufficient length means a short life of the purchased line.

The shape of the lines largely determines the scope of their application:

Round is a versatile option capable of performing a wide range of tasks. But any station wagon will lose in efficiency to a specialized variety;
“Zvezdochka” is used for cutting dry and overripe grass;
“Square” is used on the electric lawn trimmer. Its sharp edges allow you to trim grassy ends evenly;
A coiled cord is usually used by professionals for long and intense work. It is highly resistant to damage, which means it has a long service life;
Reinforced cord is available only with large diameters. It should be charged into the coil for mowing thick-stemmed dead wood, bushes and young trees.

Manufacturing material.

For household brushcutters, line manufacturers usually use nylon, to which polypropylene and polyamide are added in various proportions.

Step-by-step instructions on how to wind the line on the reel of the grass trimmer

We offer you step-by-step instructions on how to wind the line onto the reel of your grass trimmer. After reading this manual, you no longer need to watch the video to understand how to load the cutting material into the grass trimmer.

So, the replacement is done as follows:

The coil is removed, it is cleared of the remnants of the cut grass.
Cover opens.
The tongue is pressed and rotated. Manufacturers indicate the turning side with an arrow on the inner surface of the coil.
Make sure the spring is not damaged or loose its elasticity. If you find one of these malfunctions, then the spring should also be replaced.
There are slots on the inner surface of the reels that make it easier to install the line.
The winding on the disc is carried out in the direction indicated by the manufacturer. Otherwise, the cutting end will not be able to replenish its length.
The ends of the line are guided through the holes on the spool. It is better to perform this operation before closing the top cover.
The lid closes tightly. The fact that she firmly stood in its regular place, you will be informed by a characteristic click.
The reel is attached to the brushcutter.

Changing lines on brushcutters is easy. The design of the spools was developed specifically for the conditions of regular replacement of the cutting material.

Read how to wind the line on the grass trimmer in the article from benzo-zip.com.ua

In this article, we’ll show you how to wind the line around your grass trimmer. It is a consumable item for gasoline and electric brushcutters. During the mowing process, the cutting tip breaks down and must be constantly replenished. Eventually, the spool will be completely empty and should be replaced or a new filament inserted.

Tucking line into a grass trimmer is the most affordable way to replenish cutting material. In addition, the ability to wind up correctly will allow you to use different types of cord, which will greatly expand the scope of your brushcutter.

How to change the line on the trimmer: What problems can arise?

We told how to change the line on the trimmer, and said that this is a fairly simple operation. However, no one is immune from problems:

After replacement, there are constant breaks of the cutting end.

Choosing a low-quality cord;
Wear of the exit holes, which causes the surface of the cutting end to quickly rub against their pointed ends.

Increased cutting thread consumption.

One of the reasons for this problem is a weakened spring. A new spring must be installed on the grass trimmer spool.

To insert the line correctly into the spool, don’t forget about the spring. It can fly out of the reel, and then the cord will not be able to unwind under the influence of centrifugal force.

The cutting end does not replenish its length.

The cutting thread is not wound correctly;
The cord is wound unevenly, due to which the threads overlap the movement of each other;
You left the ends too short, which means that there is not enough centrifugal force to make up for the length of the ends.

Removing the coil from the grass trimmer

On small electric bottom motor trimmers (when operating near the ground), the reel usually has two buttons on the sides. Click on them and disconnect one half of the coil body from the second, which remains on the trimmer. Together with the first half, the inner part is also taken out, on which the fishing line is directly wound. When parsing, be careful: there is a spring inside that can fly out and get lost.

On electric and gasoline trimmers with a curved bar (there is still no way to put a knife on such trimmers), you need to wrap the coil body itself with one hand, and with the other hand you need to start rotating the lamb on it counterclockwise. It is he who attaches the coil to the grass trimmer bar. Having unscrewed the lamb, carefully remove the entire coil, trying not to lose the spring inside.

On electric and gasoline trimmers with a straight bar and a gear at its end (on such grass trimmers, in addition to fishing line, you can also install a knife), we look for a hole under the coil, insert, for example, a screwdriver into it, quietly rotate the coil until the screwdriver crawls even deeper and the coil will lock. Now turn the whole coil clockwise (since the thread is left-hand) and remove it from the grass trimmer. Next, we disassemble the coil. It can be assembled with latches or twisted with a lamb. If the coil is on latches, then press on the sides on the base of the latches so that they bend and release one half of the coil body from the other. We just unscrew the lamb. There may also be a third type of connection of two halves of such a coil: with it, you need to grab the lower part with one hand, and the upper part with the other, and start turning them in opposite directions. When disassembling such a coil, you also need to make sure that the spring inside is not lost.

How to properly wind the line around the spool of the grass trimmer

Many, having worked out the factory line on a recently purchased trimmer, try to wind a new one, but they cannot, because they do not know how to properly wind the line on the spool (bobbin) of the grass trimmer. It seems that there is an instruction, but it still does not work. Let’s try in this article to deal with this issue.

So, in order to wind the line, you first need to remove the coil from the grass trimmer. this will be more convenient. How to remove will depend on the type of grass trimmer.

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

Winding process

If your coil is designed to work with only one tendril, then it’s simple. You need to unwind 2-4 m of fishing line (depending on the size of the reel), find a fixing hole for the line on the inside of the reel, insert one end of the line there and start winding the line in the direction opposite to the direction of rotation of the reel on the trimmer. On the inside of the reel, they usually indicate with an arrow in which direction to wind the line. After winding the fishing line, we leave a small piece of it unwound to expose it. We fix this piece in a special groove located on the inner part of the reel and designed so that the line does not unwind at the time of collecting the reel. If there is no such groove, then you will have to hold the fishing line with your finger to prevent it from unwinding during the further collection of the coil. Next, we take the outer part of the coil and thread the outer piece of fishing line into the existing hole, assemble and put the coil back on the grass trimmer.

If the coil is designed to work with two antennae, then do the following. On the inside of the reel, we look at how many grooves there are for winding the fishing line. There may be one or two of them. If there is only one groove, then both antennae are wound along this one groove. If there are two grooves, then each antenna is wound along its own groove. A reel with one groove should have a through hole through which the line is threaded. We unwind 2-4 m of fishing line, thread it through this hole so that it sticks out equally on each side of the fishing line. And we simultaneously wind both antennae of the fishing line in the same direction, opposite to the direction of rotation of the coil on the trimmer and coinciding with the direction indicated by the arrow on the inside of the coil. We leave a little of the fishing line unwound, fix the resulting ends in special grooves, and if they are not there, we hold them with our fingers. We pass both ends into the existing holes on the outer casing of the coil. We collect the coil and attach it to the trimmer.

If there are two grooves, fold a piece of fishing line 2-4 m long in half, insert the loop obtained at the place of the fold into the groove between the two grooves, and simultaneously wind both ends of the fishing line along its own groove. Further actions are similar to the previous option.

There are also reels in which the fishing line is threaded through a through hole on the inside. After that, the ends of the line, without winding, are threaded completely through the holes on the outer body of the reel, collect the reel and begin to rotate the button, which is usually pressed, in order to release the line during operation as it wears out. Rotate the button. the fishing line itself is wound inside. At the same time, it will not work to turn it in the “wrong” direction, since it can only rotate in one direction. If you get used to it, you can wind fishing line on such a reel without even disassembling it. you just need to combine the through hole of the inner drum with the holes on the outer body of the reel, and then thread the fishing line through them.

That’s all on this issue. Happy winding!
