How to wind a line for a trimmer on a lawnmower reel

How to coil a line for a trimmer on a trimmer for grass

The thickness of the cord must fit the parameters of the selected tool. Too thick line for the trimmer will entangle the thread on the spool, contribute to overheating of the motor and rapid wear of the bushings.

According to the thickness, the line for the trimmer is conventionally divided into several types:

• Within 1.2 to 1.6 millimeters. Suitable for models up to 0.5 kW. Often these are electric mowers;
• 2mm to 2.4mm. This size is the most popular because it handles young and tough grass. Fits on tools with about 1 kW of power;
• From 3 mm to 3.2 mm. Suitable for gasoline-powered units that will mow thick stems of weeds;
• Court 4mm. Copes with overgrown areas.

To determine what kind of line for the trimmer is suitable for the scythe, you can use one of the ways:

• The thickness of the court should be specified in the user’s manual;
• Manufacturers often put important data on the bobbin, including the allowable diameter;
• Slide the trimmer line through the outlet. It should run smoothly.

The shape of the section is also paid attention to, because the thread does not cut, but interrupts the grass stem. Types of cord by section shape:

• Round. Versatile option that allows you to cut fresh and dry vegetation;
• Polypropylene line with 3 to 6 facets. You can mow stiff and thick stems. But the consumption of such material is quite large, so it is suitable only for specific purposes;
• Figured. Star-shaped or square with notches. The first is used for cutting fresh vegetation.

Grass trimmer lines are made from different materials:

• Most of all for brushcutter suitable nylon line for trimmer made of polyamide or propylene. Inexpensive versions with polyethylene in composition. They are not resistant to stress, can not withstand frequent changes in temperature modes. Polypropylene line for trimmer will last longer if you soak it in water for half an hour beforehand;
• Strings with aluminum particles and a diameter of about 4 millimeters are considered the strongest.

Do not use metal wire or wire ropes, which can damage the instrument.

Proceeding from the described parameters, you can choose the optimal line for the trimmer for the care of the lawn.

How to wind the line for the trimmer on the brushcutter spool: method one

Open the trimmer head before winding.

First, the amount of fishing line to be wound on the bobbin is determined. The coil must not protrude over the edges, otherwise the bobbin will not fit into the casing.

After determining the length of the line, you can proceed to thread it into the bobbin:

The line for the trimmer is folded in half, one edge should be 10-15 centimeters longer. The bobbin is divided into two parts by the center curb. It has a slot on it under the court, which should be bent in half

Tightening is required for winding; the winding direction is important. On the bobbin must be an arrow or an inscription indicating the side of the winding

If there is no pointer, there should be an arrow on the head of the mower. Cord is reeled in the opposite direction; winding line for the trimmer must be as carefully as possible, the thread should be as taut as possible; After completing the laying is fixed short end of the thread, it is inserted into the appropriate diameter slot on the side of the coil. The long edge is fixed on the opposite side; At the fixed line, the edges should be cut with a gap of about 10 centimeters; The tucked spool is installed in the mowing head. The edges of the thread are pulled up from the fixing grooves; A cover is put on and secured with latches. It should be fully locked.

How to tuck the trimmer line into the grass trimmer spool: the second method

Some reels can be tucked in another way. Two lengths of thread are charged, not one folded in half.

• As in the first case, the length of the new thread is determined;
• One edge of the court is bent with a hook;
• At the bottom of the bobbin there are holes for fixing the line, where the bent edge of thread is inserted;
• The thread is wound following the arrow on the spool. The level of winding should not exceed the diameter of the spool;
• The same is done with the second cell of the bobbin;
• The edges of the line which are sticking out of the holes must be trimmed. You can simply turn on the scythe, while it rotates, the knife will cut them. Grass trimmer line is cut by hand with scissors if the diameter of the court is too large.

Features of trimmer application

Such a convenient, and most importantly, effective device as a grass trimmer, there are several variations:

As is clear from the names, the types of grass trimmer noticeably differ from one another. But regardless of the type of this tool, its cutting element may be a trimmer line. It goes without saying that the grass trimmer line tucked into the grass trimmer reel is not endless. And sooner or later it will be necessary to replace it with a new.

Consumption of fishing line directly depends on the frequency of use of the device and the scale of the work performed. The more grass you cut and the more often it is trimmed with the grass trimmer, the more the trimmer line is used. And therefore, the faster it will run out. This raises the question: how to tuck the trimmer line into the grass trimmer spool?

Not everyone knows the answer to this question. And after all, the winding of the line on the spool plays an important role in the work of the grass trimmer

In order for the device to function properly, it is very important to correctly wind the new line for the trimmer on the spool. On how to change the line for the trimmer on the trimmer, and will be discussed in this article

The choice of fishing line

To easily wind the line for the trimmer on the grass trimmer reel, it is worth determining what tasks the garden tool will perform. The thicker the line you put in the head, the more difficult the tasks it will be able to accomplish. It should be noted that often a universal thread is used, the width of which does not exceed 2 mm. You, in turn, can determine the size, using the following methods:

• Read the information in the manufacturer’s instructions;
• Test the suitability of the fishing line yourself by trying to insert it into the spool hole;
• Examine the bobbin for information on the diameters allowed for use.

You can choose a line to put in the grass trimmer reel according to the type of engine. For example, an excessively thick thread can affect the increase in rotational resistance. This increases the load on the engine, which is sure to affect the quality and life of its further operation.

It is not difficult to avoid negative consequences. To do this, keep in mind that for electric motors with power up to 500 W, a trimmer line with a diameter of up to 1.2 mm is ideal. If you can’t get that kind of thread, you could use 1.6 mm cord. A 2mm cord is for engines with more than 1kW power. It is worth noting that 2 mm cord is often used for winding on a bent mower. If the gasoline unit has a straight shaft, you should use 2.5 or 3 mm cord. The thickest lines are installed only on devices with power equal to or greater than 1.3 kW.

Last, but not least, is the type of line. When choosing it, it is worth focusing on the tasks set for the gardening tool. There are several in-demand cross-sectional options:

• Twisted. has a low safety margin, so it is only suitable for young grass;
• serrated. characterized by sharp edges suitable for working in overgrown areas of weeds;
• round. the most common. These lines handle fresh grass well, but are not suitable for shrubs and dead wood;
• rectangular, square, and star-shaped cross-section types. due to their low strength, they are used for working on lawns.

The most durable and versatile cord is a two-piece line for trimmer with a circular cross-section, inside which the core is located. It is this kind of thread that is suitable for most jobs. Be careful not to let fishing line, bare wire and other foreign materials be used as filament, which is dangerous for the environment.

Removing and disassembling the spool

In order to properly wind the line for the trimmer on the grass trimmer spool, it is necessary to get acquainted with the structure of the trimmer head. It consists of a protective cover, a bobbin with thread, a housing cover, and a spring, which is present only in some devices.

When proceeding to disassemble the spool, it is necessary to completely turn off / de-energize the device. In this case, the way of carrying out the work directly depends on the type of head. The first option is to carry out the following steps:

• The user presses the catches on both sides of the cover.
• After removing the cover, the bobbin is removed. Some models may have a spring which must also be removed.
• In the center of the body is a screw, which should be unscrewed with an ordinary screwdriver.
• When the fasteners are removed, it remains to remove the reducer from the shaft, gently rocking the body of the product.

The second option for removing the reel for threading the fishing line in the grass trimmer is to screw the head onto the gearshaft. To carry out this procedure, many devices are equipped with a hole into which you can insert a tool. When the screwdriver is inserted, the user only needs to take hold of the body of the product and twist it clockwise. It is noteworthy that this method, unlike the method described earlier, is characterized by the simplicity of execution.

How to change a line for a trimmer on a trimmer

The line for the trimmer is wound onto a reel (bobbin), which is located in the body of the trimmer’s head for grass. First, unscrew the head from the brushcutter bar and open its top cover by pressing the side latches. In some models, the body simply unscrews.

Take out the spool, clean it of dirt, old fishing line residue. Reels can be one-and two-section.

Winding the line on a single spool

Take 2 m of fishing line, thread it halfway through the special hole inside the spool. On both sides of the hole the ends of the fishing line of equal length stick out. Wind them both along the groove of the reel in the direction indicated by the arrow on the body (the reverse rotation of the reel on the shaft of the grass trimmer). Until the end of line trimmer does not wind. pieces of 10-15 cm, which will be working, fix in the grooves on the side of the coil. Fixation is needed to ensure that the line for the trimmer does not unwind when you install it in the head of the grass trimmer.

Insert the spool into the body of the head, at the same time, put the free ends of the line through the holes in the body, expose it to the outside. Assemble the head, put it on the grass trimmer. That’s it, the line change in the trimmer is done.

How to wind the line for the trimmer on the grass trimmer with a two-section reel

If the reel has two sections, trimmer line is folded in half and the bending place is inserted into the special groove in the edge between the sections. Start winding the ends each in its own groove. then everything is as in the case of a one-section reel.

How much line to wind on the grass trimmer? You can wind 2-4 m, depending on the model of product. In each case, do not wind too tightly, the thread must have a free stroke for pulling in the process.

Change the line for the trimmer on the disc

The order of work to change the line on the disk in a brushcutter is as follows:

• Remove the protective cover from the boom;
• We block the grass trimmer driveshaft by putting a screwdriver through the hole in the gearbox bowl to the hole in the shaft hub;
• Unscrew and remove from the hub of the drive shaft trimmer for grass spool with a fishing line;
• Install the cutting disc on the shaft, aligning the splines on the hub washer with notches in the mounting hole of the disc;
• We block the shaft of the grass trimmer and tighten the fastening nut again. It is desirable to press the nut tubular wrench, but do not overdo it;
• Put the blade guard back on.

That’s it. the lawnmower is ready for cutting discs.

Important! Changing the cutting elements must be done carefully, observing safety precautions. Be sure to read the instructions and follow all the rules stated there. This will ensure that the grass trimmer works productively, reliably and safely.

How to remove the spool from the grass trimmer?

To change or wind the cutting filament on the spool, the spool must be removed.

The complexity of its removal depends on the model of the tool:

• Low-mounted tool. The motor here is almost on the ground. To remove the spool, you need to press the buttons on the side of the grass trimmer. After pressing these buttons, the body opens, where the line spool is located.
• Grass trimmer with a curved boom. Here the special thumbscrew must be turned counterclockwise. Then the spool and the spring in it are removed.
• Straight boom tool. The rod is held stationary with a screwdriver or other object. Turn it clockwise to remove it. Then take the tool apart and remove the bobbin.

• If the tool with one tendril is used, about four meters of thread will be needed. This thread is passed through the hole inside the spool, where it can be secured. Next, one end of the fishing line is guided by the arrow. Then the end of this thread is fastened into the groove that is in the bobbin. This is to prevent the thread from unwinding when reassembling the spool. If there are no grooves, you should hold the trimmer line with your hand and assemble the bobbin.
• If a tool with two tendrils is used, first check the number of grooves available.If there is one groove, then the two tendrils will be directed into the same groove. If there are two grooves, each tendril will point into its own groove.

In the first case, the desired amount of cutting thread is passed through the hole so that the result is a thread of equal length. Then you need to twist the reel on the arrow. Then begin to assemble the tool, holding the thread with your finger.

If the reel is equipped with a semi-automatic mechanism, then wind the line for the trimmer as follows:

• The thread is threaded through the hole that is inside;
• Fasten the ends of the thread in the grooves on the body.
• The reel is assembled and the special button is pressed;
• Then the line for the trimmer itself begins to coil in the desired direction.

It should always be remembered that the cutting line must be protected from hard things. This will extend its life.

If you do not adhere to this rule, you will often have to stop work, remove the spool and change the thread for a new.

How to tuck the trimmer line into the grass trimmer spool

To replace fishing line in the trimmer, cut a piece of material of the right size by folding it in half. One of the halves should be 5-10 cm longer than the second half.

In order to correctly wind the line for the trimmer on the reel, the middle of the thread, folded in a loop, should be placed in the groove of the central partition. One half is wound tightly around the top part and the other half around the bottom part. The longer part should be wound onto the lower part. Winding is in the opposite direction to the direction of rotation of the head. There should be an arrow on the cover or side of the head indicating the direction of rotation. The fishing line should be wound in the opposite direction to the arrow. Work carefully, pressing the coil tightly against the coil.

Insert the remaining 10-15 cm long ends in the slots on the top edge of the coil, this will secure them. With the ends fastened, the coil will not unwind.

If you do not have enough line in one piece, you may wind it in two pieces instead of one. In this case bend the end of the line with a hook and insert it into the slit of the central partition of the bobbin. Do the same with the second piece. Now wind first one piece, and then the other on their halves of the spool against its direction of rotation.

To tuck the trimmer line into the grass trimmer, insert the ends into the holes in the mowing head and pull them out. Put the spool on the axle and push down so that it sits in place and pull again on the ends of the cutting thread to pull them out to their full length.

The outer ends should extend all the way to the blade guard. Cut off any excess. You can use the steel plate on the cover to cut the trimmer line of excess length when unwinding the head.

Close the bobbin cover. Slide it into place and press down until the catch clicks into the grooves and clicks into place. Always check that the cover is in place on the grass trimmer and that the latches click into place, otherwise it may come off during operation. In this case, the spool will be thrown by the rotation force.

Do not try to reel in as much material as possible, otherwise the reel may not fit and there will be problems with fitting and securing the cover. It’s best if the reel is filled with wood so that it doesn’t go beyond the part’s dimensions.

Apart from mechanical mowers with two blades, there are also models with one blade. They differ in the fact that the cutting thread is taken out only from one side. The reel in these types of scythes may not have a central partition; instead of it, a slit in the lower flange is used for setting the nonworking end of the thread, and the upper flange also has a slit for fixing the working end.

With the replacement wood, you can start working. Do not mow very thick weeds or brush twigs. this is not a job for a grass mower. To avoid injuries and line breakage, make sure no stones or branches get under the mower.

For lawn mowing, one filling of a spool of reinforced line is sufficient for an area of 400 to 600 m2.

Once the cutting line has been worn out, switch the mower off and remove the cover on the mowing head. Pull the line out of the slot by pulling it to the desired length, and reinsert it in the slot. The amount of material wound on the spool is sufficient for 5-10 cycles of work, depending on the model of the device. When you will install the cover in place, look carefully whether the grooves where the locks are inserted are not clogged, if they are clogged, then carefully clean them.

When the line for trimmer wears out, you need to disassemble the mowing head again, pull out the spool and rewind the working line for trimmer.

What kind of line is used for grass trimmer??

The line for the trimmer comes in several kinds:

• Stronger. round;
• For mowing soft vegetation. shaped;
• For mowing narrow grass. with notches;
• Special. Suitable for certain types of grass trimmers.

The type of cutting line cross section must correspond to the vegetation to be mowed.

If you need to change the line for the trimmer, you need to pick up exactly the kind that is recommended by the manufacturer of this particular model of trimmer for grass, in other words, the thickness of the cutting thread must fit the power of the motor and the size of the unit.

It is better to choose a specialized cutting line. It is worth soaking line for trimmer for a while, if you plan to change it in the reel.

After soaking, it becomes elastic and stronger.

The cutting line can be made of various components. Often found in the middle of them. nylon.

This material is characterized by the highest degree of abrasion resistance, ability to withstand different temperatures and the highest loads.

Nylon trimmer line can be stored for long time, it does not shrink and does not lose its strength.

Because its life can be quite long.

Reels or heads for brushcutters have different structures:

How to catch more fish?

• Single-tool. In the modification of such a trimmer for the grass is only one working line for the trimmer. Used such a unit is mainly for small jobs, such as trimming grass.
• Two-string. Can be both automatic and automatic. There are two strings included. Used such a grass trimmer for mowing and clearing areas.

Instructions on how to correctly wind the cutting line on the grass trimmer spool:

• The first step is to disassemble the head. To do this, you need to press the latch and turn the cover to the side. Next, remove the bobbin.
• Measure out the desired amount of thread and insert it into the slot.
• Wind the trimmer line on both sides in the direction of the arrow.
• The 15 cm long ends should be left unwound.
• These ends are inserted into the opposite slots.
• Then the ends are fastened in the hole in the head.
• Then gently insert the bobbin into the bobbin case by pressing it in slightly.
• If necessary, the remaining ends of the string can be pulled outward. To do this, first pull one end of the string and then the other so that they can easily pass through the slots on the head.
• Now assemble the slots on the body and screw on the cover.
• Then press the bobbin and try to spin it as far as it will go. When you hear a click, it means the bobbin has clicked into place.
• Next, you need to pull the loose ends of the thread all the way out.

How to remove the reel from a grass trimmer and extract the line for the trimmer

Initially, before you tuck the line for trimmer in the grass trimmer reel, you need to remove it from there. A reel or tip is a device that is located inside the mowing head, reel or drum. There are different kinds of spool heads (depending on the manufacturer), but the principle of changing the line on the spool is the same for all. First of all, let’s figure out how to remove the head from the tool, as well as how to get the drum with the fishing line out of it.

This is interesting! The tooling can be changed directly on the tool, but if you are doing it for the first time, it is still recommended to remove the head, and learn the detailed process of winding. Once the technology is mastered, you can perform the replacement work on the trimmer brushcutter or gasoline mower.

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

The process is not difficult, and as you understand, there is no need to dismantle the entire head, if you know how to perform the replacement. When disassembling, consider such nuances:

Knowing how to disassemble the reel, you should continue to figure out the process of replacing the grass trimmer line. The video below shows a detailed process on how to open the grass trimmer reel and disassemble it.

How the line head works on a brushcutter Why you need to know how it works

Depending on the manufacturer, the heads differ structurally not only externally, but also internally. Most reels have a pressure spring inside (semi-automatic and automatic). Here are the instructions on how to disassemble a grass trimmer head without a spring, i.e.е. on the hand-operated head. The principle of dismantling a semi-automatic head with a spring inside is almost identical to the above instruction.

The principle of operation of a semi-automatic grass trimmer reel is as follows:

• Inside the head there is a spool, which is planted on slits that prevent its free movement
• The coil is acted upon by a spring that presses it against the slits in the cover structure
• On the tip is wound a line for the trimmer, the length of which depends on the tool itself. This length is usually between 1 and 4 meters
• During work, if it is necessary to increase the length of the line, the protruding part of the reel is pressed, by which it is disengaged from the slots. At the same time, the line for the trimmer winds up from the drum, increasing in length
• After releasing the desired amount of line, release the hold-down and continue mowing the grass

The advantage of a tool with a fishing line is that this consumable material does not require sharpening, compared to metal discs. over, if a stone or wood gets in the way, the line for the trimmer simply comes off, without negatively affecting the gearbox and the engine of the tool, as it happens in the case of metal cutting blades.

Knowing the construction and device of the types of mowing or trimmer heads, it is necessary to proceed to consider the process of threading the fishing line into the grass trimmer spool. After all, this is the point at which the majority of special tools owners have difficulty.

Winding a fishing line on a grass trimmer

The measured and accurate removal of the bobbin from the grass trimmer reel allows you to proceed directly to winding the fishing line. The design features of the head, the number and location of fixing holes dictate the sequence of actions when performing this operation, as well as determine the methods used. Today there are several varieties of spools, depending on the number of fishing line tendrils and methods of threading it:

Grass trimmer reel with one tendril

Many owners and professionals note the ease of using and threading a single moustache reel. Depending on the manufacturer, the length of the tucked line can range from 2 to 5 meters. The end of the line is inserted into the head in a special technological groove or hole, and winded in the opposite direction to the working rotation of the bobbin. Most spools have arrow marks on the outside of the housing that indicate the direction of travel of the grass trimmer reel.

After winding it is necessary to leave the free end 15-30 cm to strengthen the centrifugal force, which is decisive when retrieving the trimmer line in automatic and semi-automatic spools. We put the left end through the working hole of the spool and make the head assembly.

Trimmer head with two tendrils

After taking the bobbin out of the spool body determine the number of thread winding spools (1 or 2). There is no fundamental difference between a single- and double-groove bobbin, but there are operational problems with careless bobbin threading in a twin-groove. Because of the possibility of intertwining of the neighboring lines of the tool, it may be impossible to remove the new ones after the working rods are worn out.

Regardless of the number of trimmer streams, a trimmer line length of 1 is used for filling.5 to 3 meters. It is necessary to wind it backwards, because backwards winding will make the line not get out of the bobbin. Once the line for the trimmer is tucked into the grass trimmer reel, the free ends (15-30 cm) are slipped into the special holes. Then reassemble the head in the reverse order of disassembly and check the functionality. No need to worry if the ends of the two tendrils are very different in size, because when starting the grass trimmer the blade mounted on the protection will cut the excess.

Grass trimmer head with automatic line threading

Some models on the market feature a spool with an automatic winding mechanism. The owner only needs to correctly tuck and secure the ends in the head, and the winding operation is performed by the tool itself when it is turned on in operating mode. It is almost impossible to wind the line incorrectly in the trimmer for grass with such a head, as the coil itself determines the position of the tendrils. The advantage of an automatic grass trimmer head is easy to fill up the line, but the disadvantages are frequent damage to the mechanism due to the complexity of design and high cost.

Tips

Working with machinery like grass trimmers requires caution and care. Both novice and experienced mowers must follow the safety precautions in their work. Sometimes confident mowers let their guard down, make irreparable mistakes and suffer serious accidents. That is why it is important when working with the machine

• Close the reel cover with all latches.
• Do not coil up more line than you are supposed to: it’s hard to unwind later.
• After refilling the reel, be sure to check the tool’s operation before mowing.
• Choose quality material that fits a particular trimmer.

Do not try to mow coarse grass with thick stems with a fishing line. There are steel discs for this purpose. Work only in protective clothing. Wear goggles and appropriate footwear.

Coiling the line

Unhurriedly completing the disassembly of the spool without losing any of its parts allows you to get on with the main task of winding up the line in the spool. Technological features of the design of the bobbin and the number of working tendrils determine the sequence of operations.

Reel with one operating tendril

The simplest option and uncomplicated sequence of actions:

• The size of the bobbin and the length of the original factory winding determine the recommended length of line for winding. 25 m.
• one end of the line is inserted into the fixing technological hole inside the bobbin.
• line for trimmer is wound on the reel in the opposite direction of the bobbin rotation of the trimmer product. as a rule, on the inner side of the reel an arrow points in what direction the winding is conducted.
• Small part of line is left free for displaying it outside. it is fixed in a specialized groove on the inside of the bobbin, designed to hold the winding when assembling the bobbin in working order.
• The leftover end of the fishing line is passed through the hole in the outer part of the bobbin.
• The bobbin halves are assembled and placed on the trimmer bar.

A reel with two working tendrils

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

For both cases a trimmer line of 2-3 m length is used. In single-cable spools the line for the trimmer is pulled through the through hole, its ends (tendrils) are put together and aligned, and then reeled in the opposite direction to the bobbin rotation direction on the boom. an arrow inside usually indicates the correct reeling direction. If there are fixing grooves, the line ends are pulled through or held by fingers of free hand, put through the through hole of the outer half of the bobbin, the bobbin is closed and fastened to the rod of the trimmer device.

The difference of winding the fishing line in the double-channel spools is that initially a piece of line 2-5 m long is folded in half (to determine the middle fold), and the loop of the fold is inserted in a special groove between the grooves. Both line tendrils are wound on their own groove, fixing the tendrils and reassembling the spool is similar to the single groove variant discussed above.

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

The video below will visually show you how to tuck the trimmer line into the grass trimmer reel and wind it up correctly. this operation is nothing complicated and with some patience will definitely succeed:

Once the cutting filament is worn out as a result of operation, turn off the mower and remove the cover on the mowing head. Pull the fishing line out of the slot, pulling it out to the desired length, and reinsert it into the slot. The amount of material wound on the reel is sufficient for 5-10 cycles of operation, depending on the model of the device. When you will install the cover in place, look carefully to see if the grooves where the retainers are inserted are clogged, if they are clogged, carefully clean them.

When the line for the trimmer wears out, you need to disassemble the mowing head again, pull out the spool and rewind the working line for the trimmer on it.

Grass trimmer is the most common unit used for cutting grass and cutting small bushes. This device features its ease of maintenance, uncomplicated operation during work, and thanks to its low weight even women can cope with it. It’s no secret that the quality of grass mowing requires a proper selection of cutting tools. As the latter, trimmers use special cutting attachments (discs, knives) or trimmer heads with a fishing line inside. Nozzles and fishing line for the trimmer. it is an expendable tool, but if the blades can be sharpened, then when using up the line requires its replacement. In this article, we will tell you in as much detail as possible how to correctly replace the line for the trimmer.

How to remove the spool and replace the line for the trimmer

Owners of trimmers, mainly beginners, get confused, bordering on panic, when there is a need to change cutting tools or line for a trimmer in the reel. Very often when users try to unscrew the mowing head, they simply wreck it without realizing that it unscrews in the opposite direction. To prevent this from happening if the tool needs to be replaced, it is recommended that you read the step-by-step instructions below.

• Before tucking the trimmer line into the reel, turn off the brushcutter engine or de-energize the electric grass trimmer to avoid injuries that may occur if the cutting tool starts rotating accidentally.
• Unscrew the nozzle attached to the gearbox shaft. To do this, the shaft must be secured by aligning the holes on the washer and axle, and inserting a metal rod or screwdriver.
