    All weed wackers are different, but it's the same basic concept to change the line. For my craftsman C3 19.2 weed eater you first remove the red cover, then take out the spool. Any string line will work, just insert the end of the line to the groove and wrap onto the spool. Then replace the spool and feed the line through the hole. Put the cap back on and you are done. Should take about 2 minutes.
    Some weedeaters have double string and some people decide to replace the line with zip ties.

      I had a dad growing up my parent's are even still together but he worked so much he was barely home and didn't teach me things or when he was home didn't have the patience. So I had to figure things out. I am glad for RUclips these days. A long time ago you either had to figure it out or go out there and try and if u mess up you hope a neighbor comes and shows you lol

      Yes! And for women whose dads or husbands knew handy homeowner skills but didn't share the knowledge with their children or wives 😁. I didn't grow up with a dad around and my husband didn't enjoy teaching stuff like how to use a saw, a drill, fix a leaky sink, or change the weed eater string. Once I became a single mom it was RUclips that has shown me everything! Now I love building projects and fixing things 👍🙂

    Get a second spool or cartridge, load it and set it aside. Not only will you have one ready to go when you need it, but the line will relax in that winding direction and be easier to use. After finishing your yard trim, load up the empty spool so it can be ready for whenever you need it.
