How to fill a fishing line with a trimmer?

To the site near the house always looked well-groomed and neat, it must be regularly cut. Fortunately, modern technology can solve this problem without excessive physical effort. Electric trimmers are so easy to manage and care that even a teenager can mow grass with their help. The main thing to understand beforehand how to fill a trimmer with fishing line .

How do I load a fishing line into the trimmer?

So, before us is the task - to properly load the fishing line into the trimmer. Let's look at the details of how to proceed with its implementation and what pitfalls can expect us in the process.

Step 1 - select the fishing line

At the very beginning, you need to select the line correctly. Although at first glance, the whole fishing line sold on the market or in the store does not differ much from each other, it is not worth buying it at random. In order not to make a mistake in the choice, it is not superfluous to take with you the packaging from the spent fishing line or a small piece of it, or at least record the trimmer model. Ideal option for almost all trimmer models will be a line 3-4 mm thick.

Step 2 - remove the coil from the trimmer

To perform this operation, the trimmer must be disconnected from the mains and turned over with a working head. The further course of action depends on the trimmer model and the design of the coil itself:

Step 3 - dismantle the coil

After the coil is removed from the head, it must be carefully disassembled. Do it better on the already ruffled site, since there can be a spring inside the coil, which will be difficult to find in high grass. After the disassembly, we will have three parts in our hands: the body (top cover), the protective cover and the coil itself.

Step 4 - measure the necessary amount of fishing line

Mower-beginners are usually interested in how many meters of fishing line to wind on the reel of the trimmer? Solve this issue in two ways:

  1. Unwind the coil of the line in a flat dry place and separate half from it.
  2. Measure from the hank 3-4 meters of fishing line.

In any case, after winding the coils, the lines should be on the body of the coil, without slipping from it. Do not try to wind up as much as possible, as the line will be poorly unwound and more often torn.

Step 5 - reel the line

How to install a fishing line on the trimmer depends on the design of the coil. Consider the option, when in the body of the coil there is one output under the line. In this case, the end of the line is clamped in the cleft of the coil, and then we wind the line, trying to lay the coils as tightly as possible. The direction of laying the turns must be opposite to the direction of rotation of the coil and is usually indicated on its inner part. After finishing the winding on the coil, it is necessary to put on a protective casing and take out the end of the line

.

If the coil is designed to work with two tails, then the line should be folded in half and put in the groove in the center of the coil. Further winding will be conducted in one or two grooves, depending on the design of the coil. The winding direction must also be opposite to the direction of rotation of the coil. At the end of the tail, the lines will also need to be pulled into the holes on the top of the coil.
