It is easy to string a dual line Remington trimmer by following the instructions in the manual. The manual was supplied with the trimmer when purchased.
Wind the line clockwise on spool holding the bump knot in the palm of your hand, twist bump knob so that the line goes on clockwise this is according the the dealer

A line trimmer, also known as a string trimmer, is used to trim grass or weeds. The piece of equipment also goes by the name of a weed eater, or weed whacker.
You don't buy DUAL trimmer line. It's just regular line. What makes it dual is the way it's wound up inside your bummer head. Open it and follow the arrows inside. You pull the line 1/2 way thru, then wind one end one way and the other end the opposite direction.
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.
I use .155" for my push-style trimmer (Echo Bearcat). I'd like something thicker, but haven't yet found anything.
You have to pull 1/2 your line thru the little hole and wind it one way and wind the other 1/2 the other way on the other side. It takes a little practice to know how much line to cut to start with, but a couple good arm lengths for each side is a good start
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.
Homelite string trimmers are inexpensive brand that you can probably buy at home depot. Depending on how much trimming you have to do in your lawn, should help you decide on how much you want to put down on a trimmer. I suggest going with a Stihl trimmer or a Poulan Pro. You can probably find a bottom of the line residential unit from these brands for about what you would pay for a homelite maybe a few dollars more, but worth it.http://www.weedwackerstore.com
You can expect to pay about $5 for replacement line for a Poulan Pro trimmer.
Yes it can, but the line does not last as long. My experience has taught me that the smaller the line the shorter the lifespan.
