    Loosen the trimmer head mounting bolt or knob. Remove said head. Take about fifteen feet of line, and if it is a two string trimmer, bend it to make it a "U" shape and leave one end about six inches longer than the other. Now insert the line through the head's hole or knotch. Begin winding in the direction shown on the spool. Keep the line taut and moving from one side of the spool to the other. When at the end, place the two ends into the knotches on the outer edge of the spool and insert the line through the holes. Pull both lines at the same time and then replace the bolt or knob.

I have a Sears Featherlite Plus FL26. I was using it and the line got wrapped up, something gave way and then the trimmer head stopped spinning, but the engine kept running. Is there a shear pin or something in the shaft? Did something strip out? Thanks, Glenn

My trimmer only works if I hold it so that the fuel is up to the top. It appears that a tube should be in the tank to feed the fuel to the engine when the tank is low. What part or parts will I need to fix this and where can I get them? Thanks!
