Before you attempt this replacement, ensure that the trimmer has been disconnected from any power source that may allow the unit to unexpectedly turn on while you are replacing the part. Once you have run out or come close to exhausting your main cutting line, begin by gradually unfastening the housing spool and winding out whatever line is remaining in the spool. Before you reinsert the new line, cut out two measures of it – with each part measuring roughly somewhere in the region of about 10 feet. Do this only when the unit has been turned off. Now unfasten the main bolt anchoring the primary line housing swivel and feed new line through the corresponding eyelet in a controlled manner. Once you have fed enough line to pull out through the other end of the shaft, bring it all the way up to the control handle where you can control the discharge of the line. Coil the excess line around the spool carefully, taking care to avoid knots or loose loops. Ideally, try to leave about 6 inches at the end of each line to ensure you have ample string to work with. Now go ahead and snap the spool back into its place and extend the threading by winding the line around it until you hear a click. When leaving spool out for cutting, do not leave too long a length of spool as this can decrease the engine performance. Refer to your engine manual in order to determine the right amount of line to be left for your trimmer.
