How to: Change Trimmer Line on Stihl Trimmer

Hello, everybody. My name is Jim. I'm the steel service technician for SunSouth in Auburn, Alabama. Today I'm going to be demonstrating how to wind the trimmer line on a FS56RC. To start with, cut off about 20ft of trimmer line. Feed the trimmer line through here. Pull it out until the lines are even. You do that, just turn the trimmer over to the side or kind of upside down. Put one end on through the eyelet here, same way on the other side. Then you take your cap, push it in and lock it. Once you do that, just push this down the button and start turning. Turning until you get the right length. Just a few more. Notice these are. One side is a little bit longer. You want it kind of even with your blade on your guard. Let me give me something to cut it with. Just hold your line here. Can you see it? Cut that one off even too. Make sure it locks in place. Well, that's it.
