Step 1: Gather Your Tools
Before you begin, make sure you have all the necessary tools on hand. You’ll need a new spool of line, a pair of scissors, and your weedeater. Once you have everything ready, you can begin the restringing process.
Step 2: Remove the Old Line
The first step is to remove the old line from your weedeater. To do this, locate the spool on the head of the weedeater and remove it. Next, carefully remove any remaining line from the spool and dispose of it properly.
Step 3: Measure the New Line
The next step is to measure the new line. Take your spool of line and measure out the appropriate length for your weedeater. This length will vary depending on the model of your weedeater, so be sure to check your owner’s manual for specific instructions.
Step 4: Insert the Line
Once you have measured the appropriate length of line, it’s time to insert it into the weedeater. Start by feeding one end of the line into the hole on the spool. Then, wind the line around the spool in the direction indicated by the arrows on the spool. Be sure to keep the line tight and evenly spaced as you wind it around the spool.
Step 5: Secure the Line
After you have wound the line around the spool, it’s time to secure it in place. Take the end of the line and insert it into the hole on the side of the spool. Pull the line through until it is snug against the spool.
Step 6: Reassemble the Weedeater
The final step is to reassemble the weedeater. Carefully place the spool back onto the head of the weedeater, making sure it is securely in place. Then, thread the line through the eyelets on the head of the weedeater as instructed in your owner’s manual.
