What to do if the thread breaks

Wind the trimmer line correctly - not too tight and not too loose

Commercially available, good quality Grass trimmer(€ 34.90 at Amazon *) work with a reusable bobbin in the thread mower head. If the line is used up, the costs are limited to the purchase of a new mowing line that is on the bobbin wound up will. So that the wire does not break constantly, the winding technique is crucial. This is what you should pay attention to.

• Wrapped too loosely: the cutting line pulls itself tight, melts into the bobbin and tears
• Wrapped too tightly: the cutting line does not follow, it jams and breaks

To find out the perfect winding, we looked over the shoulders of gardening professionals. Where daily Grass trimmer are in use, the thread is wound more loosely with a small reserve. In addition, trimmer experts do not lead the wire in a straight line, like on a spool of sewing thread, but slightly offset and diamond-shaped.

Wet mowing line lasts longer - this is how it works

If a grass trimmer line breaks even though it is perfectly wound, the material has lost its elasticity. This problem occurs primarily with new lines or lines that have been stored for too long. This is how a mowing wire lasts longer:

• Soak newly purchased or long-stored cutting lines
• Soak in water for 24 to 36 hours before using for the first time

Various grass trimmers work with a line mower head, the wire of which cannot be changed separately from the spool. In this case, put the wound bobbin in the water for about 2 days.

Edged thread is tough

The quality of the thread material has a decisive influence on stability and service life. Therefore, when purchasing a new mowing line, do not just pay attention to the correct thickness. Use a wire made of aluminum polyamide with at least three edges and a rough surface that you can feel.
