Default How to rewind line on to strimmer head?

OK, I supposed that it must be possible to do it right, I just cannot seem to.

Please can you review my steps below?


1. Remove old old line and clean spooler.

2. Start with bottom channel (channel nearest strimmer, furthest away
from turf)


On mine it isn't two separate lengths of cable. Take one length of
cable, find the centre and secure that point in a slot on the spool.

I've also found that the line initially retains the 'shape' of what it
was wound around when packed. I tie one end of the replacement cord to
something solid and stretch it - then leave it a while to relax.
