Tips & Warnings
Install the proper line for your job. Thicker lines are ideal for thicker brush and weeds, while thinner lines are appropriate for grass.
Be sure your trimmer is completely powered off and disconnected from a power source to ensure it does not accidentally engage while the line is being changed. The fast-moving line can cause injury.
