Trimmer line comes in many different shapes and sizes, depending on the trimming job and trimmer model. Wrapped around a spool, the trimmer line needs to fit the head and the eyelets on the cover. When the line is too big, it will jam up on the spool, stop coming out and fuse onto the plastic. Diameters can range from .016 to .160 millimeters, so check with your operator's manual for your model's specific size.

Instructions
1
Decide what size trimmer line your trimmer needs. Common household diameters are usually about .080 millimeters (refer to your owner's manual for specific sizes). Thicker line breaks off less than thinner line.
2
Decide if you want to purchase prewound spools or a large roll of trimmer line to replace it manually. Prewound spools cost more but are less complicated to replace. Manually winding your spools saves money in the long run.
3
Determine whether you want edged or rounded trimmer line. Edged line uses corners to cut the weeds, but it tends to break more often. Round lines whip the weeds more and break less.
4
Test different sizes and kinds of trimmer line to find the one that best fits your machine.
