In landscape industries and in homes, weed eaters are very important. They are needed to reduce or remove weeds. Weed eaters are made of aluminum or steel bars with a motor and blade or nylon string on two different ends. There are weed eater models with two handles. Others are just comprised of a single handle.
Weed eaters needs very little maintenance. It should only be kept clean all the time. Dust it off with dirt, grass or weeds that clog the head. An air blower or compressor will help remove these unwanted elements. But without this accessory, cleaning is as good as doing it manually. You can use pointed objects to remove dirt in the littlest corners.
For weed eaters that use strings, it will be kept in tiptop shape if you replace the strings regularly. Normally, strings are replaced once it becomes thinner and looks like it is about to break off. But for better maintenance, you can set a regular period for replacing, say once a month or once in two months.
Thread the string properly while making sure that the string you use is of adequate length - not too long and not too short. The string should not scrape with the plastic cover which goes around the string. It your weed eater has a roll hooked, you just simply have to press the head and pull the string once the string thins out. Continue pulling the string until you get the right length.
Be sure that all the gadgets you need are ready before you start trimming. Prepare all the extra strings that you need and also the blades ahead of time. If you have a gas power weed eater, have an extra gas on the container. If it is electric, have a longer extension cord for use.
For rethreading, it is a fairly easy process. All you have to do is buy a new spool of plastic line. Use this to replace the old one, pull out a bit of it so that it sticks out past its opening - two inches is enough. After this, snap the new spool in and your weed eater is ready to move.
When talking about the string of the weed eater, for non commercial models its diameters ranges from 0.065 to 0.095 inches. But to be sure of the size, follow the recommendation in the user's manual. Weed eater's string should be well maintained. When you noticed that the string is already low, remove the lower part of the head by removing the lower part; push it slightly then turn clockwise. Cut the new string. It should not be shorter than 6 inches, otherwise, your weed eater will not advance its string properly when used.
Be sure to thread the string back following the guides properly. If you do not put it the right way, there is a possibility that the head will pop off during use. After that replace bottom of the head - push and turn it clockwise. An easier option is to just buy the string replacement cartridge. Although this is more expensive, it saves a lot of time, and also eliminates the hassle of stringing the machine yourself.
