However, user manuals are easy to lose and aren\u2019t always clear.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These 10 steps should work for most models. We\u2019ll cover any variations you may encounter and how you can adjust the steps based on the type of weed eater.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-1-choose-the-correct-replacement-string\"><span id=\"1-choose-the-correct-replacement-string\">1. Choose the correct replacement string<\/span><\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lawnlove.com\/blog\/best-weed-eater-string\/\">Weed whacker strings<\/a> (trimmer line) differ in size, shape, and model. Here are the key features you need to consider:<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Size<\/strong>: The size or gauge of a string is usually non-negotiable. Check the manual to see what size you need.<\/li> <\/ul>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What happens if you use the wrong size trimmer line? A string that\u2019s too big can get stuck, and a string that\u2019s too small is more likely to break.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Trimmer line size guide<\/strong><\/p>    <figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Size (gauge)<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Best for<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Trimmer type<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>.065&#8243; &#8211; .080&#8243;<\/td><td>Light residential work, grass, and thin weeds<\/td><td>Light-duty <a href=\"https:\/\/lawnlove.com\/blog\/best-cordless-string-trimmers\/\">electric\/battery trimmers<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>.085&#8243; &#8211; .105&#8243;<\/td><td>Medium to heavy residential, thick weeds, light brush<\/td><td>Standard <a href=\"https:\/\/lawnlove.com\/blog\/best-gas-string-trimmers\/\">gas-powered trimmers<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>.110&#8243; and up<\/td><td>Commercial landscaping, heavy brush, thick stalks<\/td><td>Professional heavy-duty trimmers<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Shape<\/strong>: Olberding explains that the shape of the trimmer line matters depending on your yard conditions. \u201cRound line works well for everyday trimming and edging around lawns and walkways,\u201d he says.<\/li> <\/ul>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTwisted or spiral line can cut dense grass more efficiently and runs a little quieter. Square or star-shaped line is better for thicker weeds or light brush because the edges cut more aggressively, although it can wear faster and produce more noise,\u201d Olberding says.<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Model<\/strong>: Whether you have <a href=\"https:\/\/lawnlove.com\/blog\/gas-vs-battery-powered-weed-eaters\/\">gas-powered or battery-powered weed eaters<\/a>, the brand dictates which size is suitable for your machine. However, generic brands also can work if they\u2019re the correct size.<\/li> <\/ul>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note<\/strong>: If you have an auto-feed string trimmer, look for a spool replacement instead of just a roll of string.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-2-measure-your-string\"><span id=\"2-measure-your-string\">2. Measure your string<\/span><\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You generally need 10 to 20 feet of <a href=\"https:\/\/lawnlove.com\/blog\/best-trimmer-lines\/\">trimmer line<\/a>, but it would depend on your weed eater\u2019s design and spool size. Check your user manual for the exact measurements for your model.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Models with two strings can either use one long string threaded through or two strings that will wind around the spool next to each other.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pro tip<\/strong>: Use your arm span to estimate length quickly. Arms stretched wide are roughly 5 feet. Two arm-spans = 10 feet, four = 20 feet.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-3-turn-off-and-clean-your-weed-eater\"><span id=\"3-turn-off-and-clean-your-weed-eater\">3. Turn off and clean your weed eater<\/span><\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/lawnlove.com\/blog\/lawn-mowing-tips-and-tricks\/\">unsafe to change the string trimmer<\/a> line while your weed eater has power. Always unplug the battery or turn the gas engine completely off before you touch the cutting head.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-4-remove-the-cap-and-take-out-the-spool\"><span id=\"4-remove-the-cap-and-take-out-the-spool\">4. Remove the cap and take out the spool<\/span><\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The string wraps around a spool inside the weed eater\u2019s head. Look for arrows that indicate which direction to turn it or how to line up the lid for removal. Some string trimmer heads have buttons or tabs you need to push inward. When the cap is off, pull out the spool.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch out for any springs \u2014 some are attached, but others are loose and could get lost. If it\u2019s loose, set it aside.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note<\/strong>: Some speed feed trimmers don&#8217;t need to be disassembled. Thread the string through the eyelets (line up the arrow or line with the eyelets) and skip to Step 6.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-5-remove-any-old-string\"><span id=\"5-remove-any-old-string\">5. Remove any old string<\/span><\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you take out the spool, remove the old line. Pay attention to where the string is attached and which way it winds around the spool. You can take a picture to help you remember.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have an auto-feed weed eater, you will need to replace the whole spool rather than just the string. Don\u2019t worry about attaching the string or winding it up \u2014 skip to Step 8.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No string? No worries. Just move on to Step 6.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note<\/strong>: In some cases, your weed eater may still have enough string, but it\u2019s tangled or damaged. You should replace damaged string, but you may be able to untangle and use undamaged string. Follow Steps 6 and 7 to ensure it\u2019s properly attached and wound up.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-6-attach-the-new-string\"><span id=\"6-attach-the-new-string\">6.

For most models, you\u2019ll need to locate the hole or notch in the spool. Then, insert one end of the string so it stays secure. Do this for however many strings your weed eater has.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have a speed feed trimmer, thread the line through one eyelet and out the other until it\u2019s even on both sides.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-7-wind-up-the-string\"><span id=\"7-wind-up-the-string\">7. Wind up the string<\/span><\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you\u2019ve attached the string, follow the direction of the arrows stamped on the spool to wind up the line.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Olberding says that this step is where the most errors happen. \u201cWhen it comes to putting string in a weed eater, problems usually happen because of how the line is wound on the spool,\u201d he explains. \u201cThe most common mistakes we see are winding the line in the wrong direction, overlapping the coils, or packing the spool too tightly. This can cause the line to refuse to feed when you bump the head.\u201d<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wind it up tightly in neat, parallel rows so it fits properly and doesn\u2019t unravel. Remember to leave at least 4 to 6 inches of string unwound at the end. Weed eaters with multiple strings usually have a divider in the middle of the spool. Keep each string in its respective channel so they don\u2019t get tangled.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For speed feed trimmers, you\u2019ll need to rotate the trimmer head to wind it up.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"9-8-feed-the-string-through-the-external-holes\"><span id=\"8-feed-the-string-through-the-external-holes\">8. Feed the string through the external holes<\/span><\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When your spool is wound tight, hold the string in place with your thumb. Thread the loose ends of the string through the eyelet holes on the outside cover of the weed eater head, then pop the spool back inside.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Skip this step if you have a speed feed trimmer \u2014 you already threaded the eyelets before winding.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"10-9-reassemble-the-weed-eater\"><span id=\"9-reassemble-the-weed-eater\">9. Reassemble the weed eater<\/span><\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Place the spool back in, reposition the spring if it came out, then snap or twist the cap back on until it clicks securely. Give the strings a quick tug to ensure they slide smoothly through the eyelets.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note<\/strong>: Speed feed trimmers require no reassembly since you don\u2019t need to take them apart.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"11-10-pull-out-the-desired-length-of-string\"><span id=\"10-pull-out-the-desired-length-of-string\">10.

Olberding says other causes include \u201cusing the wrong diameter line, brittle or low-quality string, or failing to clean dirt from the spool and head can also create frequent feeding issues.\u201d<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1773842340165\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do I know if I need to replace the string in a weed eater?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">You should replace the string if there\u2019s none left, it won\u2019t come out, it gets caught, or it tangles easily.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1773842351805\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How often should I change my weed eater string?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It depends on how frequently you use your weed eater. Most people need to change their weed eater string every 3 months. You might have to replace the string daily if you use your weed whacker every day. But if you use it sparingly, you may need to change it only once a year.<br><br>Of course, the most straightforward rule of thumb is to replace the string whenever it has run out or you have issues.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1773842377171\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Should I soak the weed eater string before installing it?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">\u201cAs for soaking nylon trimmer line in water, there is some truth behind it,\u201d explains Olberding. \u201cNylon absorbs a small amount of moisture, which helps keep the line flexible if it has become dry or brittle over time. However, it\u2019s not a magic fix. If you\u2019re using fresh, good-quality line that\u2019s been stored properly, soaking it usually isn\u2019t necessary.\u201d<br><br><strong>Read more<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/lawnlove.com\/blog\/landscaping-how-to-weed-eat-your-lawn-like-a-pro\/\">How to Weed Eat Your Lawn Like a Pro<\/a><\/p> <\/div> <\/div>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"13-cut-yourself-some-slack-and-call-a-lawn-care-pro\"><span id=\"cut-yourself-some-slack-and-call-a-lawn-care-pro\">Cut yourself some slack and call a lawn care pro<\/span><\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if you know how to restring your weed eater, you may not want to do it yourself.
