If the line simply came loose from spool, you can usually re- wind line back onto spool tightly in a clockwise direction then replace spool on weedeater and guide end of line out the little hole and replace cover/cap.
Reel-to-reel decks usually run left to right. Put full reel on left hub, take-up reel on right hub. Feed tape across read / write heads, and between pinch roller and spindle. Take end of leader tape, wind carefully around take up reel until it is secure. Press play.
Hi Karen:
If this is a fishing reel, pull off the old line into a plastic bag or wind it on to an old spool so it can be safely discarded. Tie the new line on to the reel, and wind the new line on.
There used to be a closed face spinning reel that you would unscrew the face cover to access the spool.
If this is a weed eater, grass whip, some of the older units had a threaded centre with a left hand thread. Once unscrewed, the spool lifted off and you could wind on the new cutting cord.
to open the reel and access the worm gear cog ( the gear that actually drives the level wind ) you will need to remove the handle, the star drag assembly, the side plate screws etc. Before you do all of that look directly at the front of the reel beneath the level wind face plate is the worm gear pawl ( the tooth that actually rides in the level wind gear itself ) there is a cap with a flat head screw driver slot in it, remove the cap ( if you can access it with the face plate on other wise youll have to go thru the steps previously mentioned) and carefully tap the reel until the pawl itself falls out there will also be a very small washer that goes inside the cap. Inspect the pawl for defects like chips on the points that ride in the gear. also inspect the worm gear it self, debris that gets lodged in the gear from regular use can chip the ends off of the pawl which will cause the pawl to stick to one side or in extreme cases stop working all together. It is possible that the worm gear cog ( located in side the reel ) is damaged but almost every reel with this issue that I have repaired (100's of them) is caused by a damaged pawl or worm gear it self Dark Side Reelz
Drag factory installed for left-hand wind. To change your real to right-hand wind, remove spool, pull the keyed bush and clicker plate assembly off the spindle. Flip the clutch bearing (silver) and reassemble.
Possible that the loading motor is having friction to load fully or that the film reel is too tight.
You can check the test without the film in place but by activation of the door switch.
If the reel pressure is good ,then the film reel might be badd or if the hand pressure stops the reel then the motor might be weak.
Hope the battery is charged. if not used recently let it run winding up to free.
The nylon string is simply spun onto the emty spool. There should be an arrow on the top of the spool indicating the direction to wind the line. If the spool is missing a notch to hold the line to get started, use your finger to hold it in place for a few full wraps.
Align the arrows under the bump feed, push in on bump knob, unscrew in counter clockwise direction, remove spool. Wind string in direction arrows advise on the spool, reassemble. You will be back to weedwacking asap.
