Looking between the gear box assembly (metal housing) and the top of the trimmer head, locate a u-shaped slot found on either side of the gear box assembly. If you rotate the trimmer head slowly while looking into that slot you will see a mating u-shaped cutout. Place a screwdriver, Allen wrench or anything that will prevent the internal mechanics from rotating. Now turn the trimmer head counterclockwise and it will unscrew from the gear box shaft.

How do you wind trimming cord for an electric string trimmer?
I've only had gas trimmers but all trimmers should be the same, wind the string in the opposite direction the trimmer head spins. If the head spins cloakwise then wrap the string counter-cloakwise.
What do I do since the string came out of weed trimmer all at one time.?
make sure head is on properly and that the spring that forces the head to shut once depressed is in place. That is like 52 card pickup. Unplug the trimmer. Then pop out the cartridge and rewind the string (you don't have to do a perfect job of it) and replace the cartridge as if it is new. Then plug in the trimmer and try again. Hopefully, it is just a matter of something unusual happening just once.

How do you pull more string out of trimmer?
This is actually easier than it first appears. # Line up the two arrows on the outer-spool and inner-reel. # ## This opens the channels from the feed-holes to the locking holes. # Remove any line left in the locking holes. # Feed new line into feed holes up though the channels until you have enough to place the ends of the lines into the locking holes. # Place line ends into the locking holes and pull tight. # Wind the inner-reel counter-clockwise, taking up the new line. Pause occasionally to pull each line tight. Leave about 4 inches at each end.

How do you install new string on a homelite weed trimmer?
I don't have the manual, but this worked for me. 1. You need .065 trimmer replacement line. Any hardware store will have it. 2. Unplug the trimmer. 3. To remove the spool, turn the trimmer over and look at the bottom of the cutter head. On the sides are two small panels with 3 chevrons on them. Push in on these and pull the cover off. The spool should come out easily. 4. The spool has arrows showing the direction of rewinding the string (clockwise). 5. This is a two-string trimmer so you have to wind two pieces of string. Looking down on the spool (with lettering on top) start with the upper slot. Inside the slot are two holes, each on opposite sides. Push a small amount of string into this hole in the direction of the arrow. Then begin winding string on, also in the direction of the arrow (clockwise). The first bit of string you put in the hole should act as a "hook" so the string doesn't come out. 6. Don't fill the slot too full. Leave about 1/4 or 1/8 inch of free space. When you are done, cut the line and use the notches on top to hold the line while you do the lower slot. 7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for the lower slot. 8. Drop the spool back into the trimmer. Thread the string through the holes in the head one at a time. One string for each hole. You'll need at least 2 inches of line sticking through the hole. Don't worry about too much line, the trimmer will cut it too the right length. 9. Snap the cover back on. 10. Plug in trimmer and go.
How do you change string head on kawasaki weedeater?
I have a Kawasaki KTR27A string trimmer and I am very disappointed that Kawasaki's Owner's Manual did not include instructions on how to put new string in their trimmer. The challenge was getting the spool out. I finally figured out that you need to depress the center bumper and turn it clockwise. It will move easily to a stop, then turn it just a little harder and you will feel it move a little more. That releases it and you can pull it straight out. Then, just wrap new string on (direction is indicated on the spool), feed the two ends out through the holes in the head, and put the spool back in making sure not to have any of the new string underneath the spool. Then depress the bumper and turn in counter-clockwise to set it in place.
