3.1 Safety Precautions
- Always disconnect the power source (battery or cord) from the string trimmer before performing any maintenance or installation.
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and gloves.
- Ensure the trimmer head has stopped rotating completely before handling.
3.2 Spool Replacement Procedure
- Prepare the Trimmer: Disconnect the battery pack or unplug the power cord from the string trimmer.
- Remove Old Spool: Locate the spool cover on the trimmer head. Depending on your model, you may need to press release tabs or twist the cover to remove it. Carefully remove the old, empty, or damaged spool.
- Insert New Spool: Take a new Greenworks 0.065" auto-feed replacement spool. Ensure the trimmer line is properly wound and secured in the spool's designated slots.
- Thread the Line: Locate the eyelet(s) on the trimmer head. Thread the end of the trimmer line from the new spool through the appropriate eyelet(s) on the trimmer head.
- Secure the Spool: Align the new spool with the spindle inside the trimmer head. Press or push the spool firmly into place until it clicks or seats securely.
- Reattach Cover: Replace the spool cover, ensuring it is securely fastened.
- Verify: Gently pull on the trimmer line to ensure it feeds smoothly and is properly seated.

4. Operating with Auto-Feed Spool
The 0.065" auto-feed spool is designed to automatically advance the trimmer line as needed during operation, eliminating the need for manual bumping or feeding.
4.1 Auto-Feed Mechanism
When the trimmer is running, the centrifugal force and vibrations cause the line to gradually extend. If the line becomes too short, the auto-feed mechanism will release a small amount of new line. The cutting blade on the trimmer's guard will then trim the line to the appropriate length.
Figure 4: Illustration of the auto-feed spool mechanism.
4.2 Optimal Performance Tips
- Ensure the trimmer guard and cutting blade are clean and free of debris for proper line trimming.
- Avoid prolonged contact with hard surfaces (e.g., concrete, rocks) as this can rapidly wear down the line and potentially damage the spool or trimmer head.
- Use the trimmer at appropriate speeds for the task to optimize line consumption.
5. Maintenance and Storage
5.1 Spool Maintenance
- Cleaning: Periodically inspect the spool and the trimmer head for accumulated grass, dirt, or debris. Clean with a dry cloth or soft brush. Do not use harsh chemicals.
- Line Inspection: Before each use, check the trimmer line for any signs of fraying, cracking, or excessive wear. Replace the spool if the line appears compromised.
5.2 Storage
- Store unused spools in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This helps preserve the integrity and flexibility of the trimmer line.
- Keep spools in their original packaging or a sealed container to prevent dust and dirt accumulation.
