Insert the New Cord
To insert the new cord, follow these steps:
1. Unwind the new cord from the spool and straighten it out.
2. Insert the end of the new cord into the hole in the center of the trimmer head.
3. Pull the cord through the hole until you reach the desired length.
4. Secure the cord in place by winding it around the spool and inserting it into the slot. Make sure the cord is wound in the correct direction, as specified in the trimmer’s user manual.
Here are some additional tips for inserting the new cord:
Use a brand-new cord of the same size and shape as the original cord. A mismatched cord can cause damage to the trimmer.
Do not overwind the cord around the spool. Overwinding can cause the cord to break prematurely.
Trim the excess cord at the end of the trimmer head.
Wind the Cord Around the Spool
Once you’ve wound the cord around the spool, you need to secure it in place. Do this by inserting the free end of the cord into the hole in the center of the spool. Pull the cord taut and wrap it around the outside of the spool in a figure-8 pattern. Make sure to keep the cord taut as you wrap it. Once you’ve wrapped the cord around the spool several times, tuck the end of the cord into the hole in the center of the spool again.
Tips for Winding the Cord
- Use a sharp knife to cut the cord cleanly.
- Wind the cord in a figure-8 pattern to prevent it from binding.
- Keep the cord taut as you wrap it around the spool.
- Tuck the end of the cord into the hole in the center of the spool to secure it.
