How to wind a line for a trimmer on a trimmer for grass Huter
Grass trimmer is a convenient and easy-to-use tool for mowing grass and trimming small bushes and trees.
It often uses a cord (cord, cord) as a cutting element, because it is cheaper than knives and safer to use. If you use the tool intensively over time, you’ll need to change the fishing line for your grass trimmer.
This process is similar for lawn trimmers from different manufacturers, whether Husqvarna or Huter, with possible minor differences.
When the grass trimmer is used regularly to cut grass, the discs become dull, but they can be sharpened and continue to be used. The rod in the spool tends to run out, so there is a need to refill a new one, for which you need to determine the type of head and prepare the cord of the required thickness and length
Consequently, the mowing head is a cylindrical body in which the hair curl is placed. Such a detail is present on electric trimmers, as well as on petrol mowers of any brand, whether Bosch, Makita, STIHL or any other brand. There are three types of mowing heads, depending on how the mowing line is filled and fed.
- The principle of automatic group heads is that they feed the line for the trimmer independently when the lawnmower reduces the speed of the engine crankshaft. These designs are convenient when working on large areas, but have a disadvantage. high power consumption.
- Semi-automatic group heads are easy to use. The automatic feed to the trimmer line is at maximum engine speed. To release the cord lock, gently tap the tool on the ground, and then the open thread will pull out of the spool. Cut to the desired length with a knife mounted on the guard.
- Turn off the power cord grass trimmers first, then pull the cord yourself.
Note! Most convenient and highest prices. are semi-automatic cord reels.
Electric and gas cord reels can come with one or two rod antennas. The former are used for cutting low grass, while the latter. for cutting tall grass and small shrubs.
Preparing to replace the cutting element
Before replacing the hair growth mower line, you need to pull out and then disassemble the head. It usually includes the shroud, spring (on some models), hairpin line, and sheath.
It is necessary to unplug the electric grass trimmer from the mains (or turn off the gasoline), and then proceed to remove the spool.
It can be fixed in two different ways: in the first case you have to disassemble the head completely, and in the second case. simply remove it from the gearbox shaft on which it is mounted.
- after removing the spool, a mounting bolt (or screw) becomes visible in the center of the housing and must be unscrewed in the opposite direction of clockwise movement;
- after removing the supports, hold the housing in a rotary motion to remove the spool from the gearbox shaft.
The second method involves the following steps. The spool head is mounted on the reducer shaft. To disengage it, you must lock that shaft.
As a rule, braids such as Champion or STIHL have a hole where you insert a nail, rod or screwdriver.
After fixing the shaft in a fixed position, holding the body, you need to start turning the head clockwise, since the threads on the shaft are usually applied to the left.
Now that the head is removed and disassembled, you need to determine how tight the cord should be.
You can find out the correct diameter for your grass trimmer by looking at the owner’s manual or the bobbin itself, usually with similar information
Another way. insert the thread into the hole from which it is fed. If the scrum goes through without difficulty, it can be used for work.
Note! To understand how much hair is wound, you need to wind it on the spool so that the height of the coil does not exceed the diameter of the sides. If the cord protrudes over the edges, the spool cannot be concealed in the case.
Algorithm of winding the lines
The order of winding the wire depends on the type of coil. with one or two antennas, as well as from the automatic cord charging.
Up to one antenna coil
It is very easy to wind the coil with one antenna. These designs, depending on the brand of grass trimmer, accommodate two to five meters of cord. The edge of the mowing line in the spool must be blocked with a special hole or groove, and then the thread is wound in the opposite direction to the rotation of the spool during operation.
Tip! To understand which way to wind the thread, you need to look at the reel body. there are usually marks on it, indicating the direction of movement of the reel during work.
After winding the mowing line of hair growth, you need to leave a small piece (15-30 cm), screw it into the outlet hole of the spool and assemble the head.
To the spool with two antennas
In such coils, it is necessary to inspect the inside of the coil and determine the number of grooves for winding the cord provided in it.
Important! If the reel has one groove, then both antennas should be wound along a common groove, if two, then on separate tracks.
For winding you need to take a piece of cutting element two to three meters long.
For spools with a single groove, thread the wire through the through hole, line up the whiskers, line up and wind the spool in the opposite direction of its rotation during operation.
If there are locking slots, they need to be tied around the ends of the cord, then pull them into the socket, then close the spool and put it back in place.
For double groove coils, the difference is that the length of the string should be folded in half. Then load the middle of the bend into the groove between the grooves, then wrap each piece of hairpin along its path, secure the antennae, and reassemble the spool as well as the single-track spool.
Automatic trimmer head
For heads with automatic threading, simply wind and clamp the edges of the mowing line, and the tool will do further winding on its own when turned on. Here it is impossible to make a mistake, because the coil itself recognizes how the antennas should be located.
Note! The advantages of trimmers with such a head can include the convenience of laying the cord, and the disadvantages include high cost and complexity of repair.
Hazelnuts are varieties and can be replaced with other material
Grass trimmer cord can be of different diameters (from 1.2 to 4 mm), and you need to choose it depending on what kind of vegetation you want to cut. the thicker the hair, the coarser the grass it can cut. Experienced users recommend a 2 mm thick all-purpose line for trimmers.
The shape of the mowing line can be round (for lush grass) or with sharp edges in the shape of a square or star (for mowing dry grass). The second type is less durable and wears out faster than a round cord.
One of the popular questions about trimmers is whether the special mower cord can be replaced with other materials such as metal or steel cables and cords, wire, and more.
You should know that the installation of such items is not recommended, because with them the grass trimmer becomes a dangerous technique. During mowing, pieces of wire or metal will constantly break and fly in different directions, which can lead to injury to the worker.
And if you accidentally touch their limbs while working, serious injury is guaranteed.
We are responsible for trimmer owners who are interested in using the cutting element. it is allowed, but it will tear and wear out much faster and therefore needs to be replaced often.
Tip! The scaffold is good for picking up grass near a fence or wire mesh. Instead of wasting expensive three-dimensional cord, you can charge a large caliber tackle (2-3 mm), which is much cheaper.
Replacing the cutting element on the disc
Depending on the type of vegetation that covers the garden (lawn) and requires removal, the hair is turned into a disc.
This is necessary because the cord is only used for grass of low height, and if you need to mow tall trees, tree shoots or shrubs, it is better to use metal or plastic disc blades instead of strings.
Correctly installing them is very simple, the detailed process is usually described in the user manual and is similar to grass trimmers of different brands, whether Al-Co, Oleo-Mac, Patriot or other equipment brand. To change the line for the trimmer on the blades, it is necessary:

How to choose a line for a trimmer?
A lot will depend on the choice of consumable material in the work of the grass trimmer. The thicker the trimmer line, the more effectively it can handle coarse and thick grass. Universal is considered a diameter equal to 2 mm. But this thickness is not suitable for all machines. When selecting a suitable fishing line, you need to do the following steps:
- Read the manual for the correct size for your brand of fishing line.
- Study the markings on the reel itself. Some manufacturers put information on its use of a certain thickness of fishing line.
- Try to insert the end of the line into the outlet. If it passes easily, you can apply with this model.
It is important to consider the cross section of the cord to be selected:
- The most popular threads have a circular cross-section. They handle fresh grass easily. For shrubs, dry grass with thick stems are not very suitable.
- Square, rectangular and star-shaped lines cut evenly, but are not strong.
- A sharp-toothed trimmer line works well with coarse grass.
- A spiral-shaped filament mows fresh grass without problems, but it will not last long.
- A cord for trimmer with a core that has a rounded cross-section is considered the most reliable and durable.
String thickness is also determined by the type of grass trimmer and engine power. For electric machines with motors under 500 W, cord with diameter of 1.3 mm is suitable. Above 1 kW, a thickness of 2 mm is optimal.
When selecting a line for gasoline trimmers, the shape of the mower shaft is important. If it is curved, a thickness of 2 mm is suitable. On installations with a straight shaft, 2.4 to 3 mm of thread is used. If the engine power is higher than 1.3 kW, the thickest lines are used.
Caution: it is forbidden to use an ordinary fishing or construction strand as the cutting element of a grass trimmer. Categorically do not use metal cables in the coils of machines. They can easily break off, hurting the worker and others.
How to Disassemble and Remove the Head?
To tuck the line for the trimmer into the spool, on most models of machines the head must be removed and disassembled. To do this, you will have to do the following manipulations:
- Unscrew the head using a thin screwdriver, a piece of wire, or a nail to hold the shaft in place through the hole.
- Hold the head body with one hand, and with two fingers of your other hand press the safety cover latches and remove it.
- The spool is loose and can easily be removed from the reel shaft.
- Bottom of reel is secured with screw. Unscrew it with a screwdriver or a bit, rotating counterclockwise.
- Remove this part with gentle sideways rocking movements, trying to gently release it from the shaft.
The operation does not have to be repeated every time you need to install a trimmer line into a grass trimmer reel. On brand-name models it is done without unscrewing the head from the body of the device. Other variations have to remove the head and its cover.
Important: Periodically, you need to completely disassemble the head with the spool to lubricate the internal parts to prevent corrosion. This will extend the life of the parts.
Review: Huter trimmer head. One of the serious drawbacks of Huter trimmers.
Semi-automatic head with a fishing line for trimmers Huter ETH-1200 is supplied with a wound round fishing line with a thickness of 2 mm and a length of 5 m.Head weight 320g.Head has a bobbin with a fishing line and two metal holes through which to withdraw the ends of the line, mowing the grass with the rapid rotation of the head trimmer for grass.Designed for electric trimmers Huter Get-1200SL.
When you cut the grass, the ends of the lines wear out and their length decreases.Consequently, the mowing radius becomes smaller.Restore the length of the ends of the fishing line can be a gentle knock on the ground button, located in the center of the head, with the grass trimmer head gaining momentum.
After that there will be two ends of the line, the excess of which will be cut off when you rotate the trimmer blade for grass.
Sooner or later the line either breaks one of its cutting ends at the root and you have to refill it, or the line for the trimmer runs out and you have to wind a new one.
In short, it becomes necessary to remove the head cover and pull out of the body of the line bobbin.This is where the fun begins.A similar situation is described in the fable of Ivan Andreevich Krylov “monkey and glasses”:)
The thing is that the Huter trimmer head has a unique design.I haven’t seen it with any other company.Open it to reload the line is not for the faint of heart.
There is no description on how to do it.The inscription on the back of the head in English “press to open” did not help.Pressed, tried to turn the body in both directions.Nothing helped.
Finally realized that my brains are not enough for the first non-destructive opening of it, I put up with it and began to look for knowledgeable people.The cheerful and friendly saleswoman in my village store for the sale of power tools and accessories helped me. Antonina, who showed me how to do it. Thanks for that!
As time has gone by, of course, I’ve forgotten this unique experience.It was already inconvenient to go back to Antonina for a bow.I had to use my brain and sort out the problem in detail.The Internet suggested a way to uproot the grass trimmer head cap.What didn’t suit me at all.
I understood the mechanism of the head from the video I found.It turned out that the cover is attached to four holders, fastened in the body sockets and locked with a latch.Having squeezed it with an appropriate flat-blade screwdriver and turning the body clockwise, you can easily remove the cover and pull out the bobbin with the remnants of fishing line.
Filling the line is standard and is described in detail in the description of the grass trimmer.Also not simple, but it is possible to figure out.
When using the head for a long time, there is some soil, grass and dirt left over in it.For good measure, I cleaned the dirt out of the body and the outside of the head.
The head is easy to assemble.It is necessary to:. tuck the ends of the line into the appropriate holes in the housing:
In the photo you can see among other things on the bobbin there are slots for fixing the line sizes from 1.6 to 2.6mm. For Huter Get-1200S electric trimmers, a trimmer line with a diameter of 2 mm is recommended, which is firmly fixed in the line slots 2.4mm.
Next:. align the holders with the corresponding slots in the cover of the case. simply by pushing on the back of the housing with the bobbin and fishing line inserted. click the lid latch. turn the housing counterclockwise.
Took great satisfaction after I finally managed to remove the lid head:) The feeling of victory over a recalcitrant and hostile to you and Nature:) How taming horses Clodt on Anichkov Bridge in St. Petersburg.
To buy or not such a head for trimmers?Only if there is a desire to fight with her when replacing the line.In addition, the weight of this head is 15g above the weight of a similar head of the Patriot trimmer.How much does it matter? I do not know.
Plastic is common, I have not yet crumbled.But, people complain about its fragility. If you hit the ground carelessly can crumble.
In fact, the thread in the head is standard left-hand thread M10x1.25 LH.Accordingly, and the head for a line with a diameter of 2 mm can be applied a standard one with the same thread, for example, from Patriot grass trimmer.
There are enough offers on the market at different from different manufacturers.From the most democratic to absolutely exorbitant for automatic heads.You can choose the one that’s best for you.
I have mowed the grass twice since I bought it. During the winter I put it in a warm dry room. The next year I turned on the trimmer, it went up in smoke and died. Thought I’d take it back under warranty, but no way, it just ran out. I do not recommend it at all.
Gets the job done. I can mow weeds from top to bottom, but that’s not what this trimmer for grass is for, and the line tears the trimmer and it’s hard to lift to a height. Perfect for the grass, and not too tough weeds.
There are a lot of problems with the head. At first it turned out that the head is tilted and the trimmer is wobbling. Turned out to be a factory defect. The head was replaced under warranty.

Disadvantage trimmer head. Bought on June 14. It took a long time to pick up line for the trimmer, the best of all that I tried was a square 2mm for 4r meter.

Repairs are not possible. The manual is still the same as before. It’s hard to wind the string on the trimmer, and the description in the manual is wrong. The coil itself is weak and unlike the previous set is not replaceable, the screw that can be unscrewed, there is no.
I bought the grass trimmer along with the line with the star. even the thumb-thick grass. First time was fine. The second time we mowed, we smelled an odor of burning. From the motor went smoke. It worked, but it is necessary to carry to service before it has burned down.
