How to Wire a Weed Trimmer
Weed trimmers cut through weeds and grass by utilizing a piece of thin plastic cord wrapped around the inside of the trimmer's cutting head. Rewiring a weed trimmer only takes a few minutes to do. Make sure that the correct plastic line is placed into the trimmer head during replacement because if the wrong size is put in, the weed trimmer will not work properly. The weed trimmer's manual will list the correct sizes that it can use. Does this Spark an idea?
