Wind String onto Reel
At 3:23 in
EASIEST WAY TO STRING YOUR WEED EATER
What happens here
Locate the two small holes on the internal trimmer reel. These holes are designed to secure the ends of your two new strings. Insert one end of each string into a separate hole. Once the strings are mounted, you will wind them onto the reel. The key is to wind *backwards* onto themselves, meaning in the opposite direction from which they would normally feed. Hold both strings in one hand and rotate the reel to wind the string, ensuring the two strings do not cross or overlap as you go. Wind loosely to avoid binding. The reel can hold about 24 feet of string, meaning each side will be wound with approximately 12-13 feet. If the strings become tangled or crossed, simply unwind and restart. Practice will make this process faster, ideally taking about two minutes.
Goal: Securely wind the new string onto the trimmer reel
