SOURCE: replaceing string spool

if its the newer weedeater brand
All you need to do is grab the bump knob end and pull it straight off no turning
wind your line in the direction the arrows on the spool shows you
to put back insert line or lines into the holes and snap back on
be sure the spool is able to move up and down freely after install

SOURCE: I am looking for a manual for a homelite gas

type in homelitest and ut number on the trimmer and then search google . maybe

SOURCE: Bought a Ryobi weed trimmer CS26 from Home Depot.

just cheap equipment. Mark it up to experience and do not purchase equipment fro home center or box stores ever again.

This is just one of the many problems of dealing with

the box stores rather than a full service qualified dealer. If you can

find one in your area, patronize them. Not just when the box store

lets you down but for everything. These type dealers are

disappearing and are not being replaced and soon they will all be

gone.

Did you ever happen to solve this problem? I have the same problem

Managing weeds in your lawn doesn't have to be time consuming, especially with the aid of a weed eater. However, when your weed eater runs out of line, you don't have to throw the weed eater away. You can restring the weed eater and continue using it. 1. Make sure your weed eater is not plugged into a power source. 2. Turn your weed eater over, exposing the hub underneath the shield guard. Take off the hub cover by pressing the release tabs and pulling the cover straight off. The hub cover is the protective cap over the spool. 3. Remove the spool. Remove any old line from the spool and throw the line away.
4. Insert the end of the new bulk line into the hole in the spool leaving about a 1/2-inch tail. 5. While keeping the end secure, pull the rest of the line through the slot in the spool to lock it in place. 6. Wind the bulk line onto the spool, being sure to follow the direction of the arrow. Be sure to wind the line tightly and evenly, stopping at the ridge markings. 7. Insert the end of the line through the eyelet in the spool hub, pulling the line tightly through it. Hold securely to the end of the line while placing the spool into the hub with the arrow facing up.
8. Gently press the spool into place, being careful to keep the line from being caught under the spool. 9. Replace the hub cover before use.

I hope the steps are helpful in resolving your concern.
