Re: Weed Eaters
said by Reno  :One thing I never understood is how to wind a dual cord spool. Is it that much more of a pain than hand winding a single cord spool? Very easy once you get the hang of it. I could do it with my eyes closed. Granted, I've done commercial lawn maintenance as a job the previous 3 summers.
On the trimmers we had, you cut a length of string long enough to fill the spool about 3/4 full, feed the string into one of the little holes/holder inside the spool halfway so you have equal lengths on either side. Now grab both halves of the string and wind it up in the indicated direction until you have about 5-10 inches left. Insert each end of the string into the slots on both sides of the spool, feed it through the holes and lock the spool into place. Give both ends a quick tug to release them from the slots.
The biggest mistake people tend to make when winding dual string trimmers is they cut up two separate lengths of string. No need for that. Also when using only one piece of string, you'll save more as it will last until all that is left is about a 5 inch piece. |
