How to choose a fishing line?

For each trimmer power, the developers accurately calculate the diameter of the nylon thread and the number of blades for the corresponding knife. Otherwise, the engine of the power tool will overload greatly, which will lead to its breakdown. Overpayment for consumables due to ignorance will be provided to you. That is why the choice of fishing line for your trimmer should be treated responsibly in order to minimize costs.

At the very beginning you need to purchase the appropriate fishing line. It is sold in skeins up to 120 meters long, and its diameter will be indicated in the detailed instructions for your trimmer.

Important! The price of the reel depends on the length of the fishing line. It is always necessary to build on the amount of upcoming garden work. But in any case, always take it with a margin so as not to return to the store at the most important moment.

Here's what you need to pay attention to when choosing a fishing line and working with it on a trimmer:

• Most often, a vein is used to mow grass with a trimmer with a diameter of 2 mm. To mow soft and young grass, it is enough to take a thin fishing line, the diameter of which is 1.5–1.8 mm. But on more powerful lawn mowers you need to wind a thicker fishing line.
• Do not forget to pay attention to the structure of the vein.. So, for example, a round cord is considered the most durable and copes well even with the coarsest weeds. But the vein of a curved configuration is more suitable for young or twisted grass. A thread with notches along its entire length can work only with thin stems.
• Minimum length for one refueling the nylon thread into the coil of the mower is 2-4 meters, depending on its diameter and the recommendations of the manufacturer. For example, if you wind too much fishing line onto the bobbin, its movement will be difficult, and when mowing the grass, you will notice new ends of excess material.
• It is advisable to buy fishing line only trusted companies, which are indicated in the recommendations of your appliance for mowing grass. It should be made of high-quality material and have good strength - it is good to “mow” the lawn and not wear out very quickly.

In order to enhance the elasticity and strength of the cord, place the purchased thread in water for 30 minutes. Thanks to such actions, it will be difficult for you to break even the thinnest vein.

Removing the bobbin from the trimmer

Now we will consider the issue of removing the stud from different types of trimmer:

• On an electric conveyor with a lower engine There are two buttons on the sides. With one press of two buttons, you will need to disconnect one part of the refueling from the second. Simultaneously with the first half, the inner part should be removed, on which the core is wound.

Important! When doing the described manipulations, you need to be extremely careful so that the inner spring does not accidentally fly out and do not rub. This small part is a very important “link” that helps in pulling the fishing line onto the roller.

• The body of the electric and gasoline conveyor with a bent metal bar should be clasped with one hand, and the second - move the electronic lamb counterclockwise. This small part connects the reel to the trimmer bar. After removing the lamb, it is necessary to remove the entire coil, while holding the inner spring with your fingers.
• With electric and ashless conveyor with a direct boom you need to find a recess under the bobbin, insert, for example, a screwdriver in it, and slowly rotate it until the tool goes deep and the roller is fully fixed. Next, twist the coil slowly clockwise (due to the left thread) and remove it from the conveyor. Then you will need to disassemble the bobbin, assembled by snaps or twisted into a lamb. If you have a snapshot roller, then you need to push the latch on the sides to release two parts of the part. After that, the lamb should be unscrewed.

How to wind a line on a lawn mower spool?

Actions for a single-mustache clip:

1. To start, we unwind from 2 to 4 meters kapron threads. Its length depends on the size of your coil.
2. We find a hole on the inside of the rollerthat fixes the core. We insert one end of the nylon thread into it and begin to carefully wind it in the opposite direction to the rotation of the bobbin on the device. Sometimes an arrow is drawn on the inside of the reel indicating the direction of winding the line.
3. After part of the core is already on the reel, the rest of it (5-10 cm) is left free to expose it to the outside.
4. We fix the tip of the core in a special recess (groove). You will find it on the inside of the coil. If you do not have such a groove holding the cord, then you need to hold the fishing line with your finger.
5. Now take the outer part of the coil, we slowly pass a segment of the “hanging” core into the existing hole. Now the kapron thread is wound on a bobbin.
6. Put on the roller on the conveyor.

Actions for the movie with two antennae:

1. We look at the inside of the bobbin, determining the number of grooves for the core. The coil can have either one groove or two. In one hole, two antennae are wound simultaneously. And a mustache is wound on a bobbin with two holes, which must go through a separate groove. The roller with one groove has one through recess, along which the fishing line slides.
2. Unwind 4 meters of a new kapron thread, we pass it through a double hole so that from each part the line segments are the same.
3. Now wrap the two ends of the core in a single direction, which should coincide with the direction of the pointer (arrows) drawn inside the coil.
4. Leave for stock a small part of the core. We fix its ends in the grooves.
5. Pull the 2 ends of the cord into the recess on the outside of the roller.
6. We collect all the components of the video and fasten it to the trimmer bar.

Important! If the conveyor has two grooves, then you need to fold the length of the core in half, and insert the loop obtained at the fold into the groove that is located between the two grooves. After this, both cuts of fishing line should be wound at the same time, each along its own “path”. All further actions should be done similarly to the above instructions.

Actions for a roller with a core threaded through a two-sided hole located on the inside:

1. We pass without winding the ends of the new kapron thread through the hole on the outside of the roller.
2. We collect the reel and press the button for further release of the vein as it gradually deteriorates. When this button is rotated, the line itself is wound inside the reel.

Important! If you do such a winding often, then you can wrap kapron thread and indiscriminately drum. To do this, you just need to combine the two-sided recess of the inner part with the recesses of the inner case of the roller, and after that - thread the same fishing line into them.

As you can see, it is quite possible to wind the core onto the trimmer coil yourself. The winding technique directly depends on the type of your lawn mower and on the design of the coil itself. Below we offer you a video that will help you better understand the whole process and perform high-quality refueling of the fishing line in your device.
