Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to correctly install the BMS Spool and Nylon Line into your compatible strimmer.

Safety Precautions

Always ensure the strimmer is turned off and disconnected from its power source (unplugged or battery removed) before performing any maintenance or installation.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves and eye protection.

Installation Steps

Remove the Strimmer Head Cover: Locate the release tabs or buttons on your strimmer head and carefully remove the cover. This will expose the existing spool.
Remove the Old Spool: Take out the old spool from the strimmer head. Note its orientation for reference.
Prepare the New Spool: The BMS spool comes pre-wound. Ensure the ends of the nylon line are accessible and can be fed through the eyelets of the strimmer head.
Insert the New Spool: Carefully place the new BMS spool into the strimmer head, ensuring it sits correctly on the spindle. The spool should fit snugly.
Feed the Line: Thread the ends of the nylon line through the designated eyelets on the strimmer head cover. Pull the line through until approximately 10-15 cm (4-6 inches) extends from each eyelet.
Reattach the Strimmer Head Cover: Align the cover with the strimmer head and snap it back into place, ensuring it is securely fastened.
Check Line Length: Once the cover is on, the line should extend freely. If it's too long, the strimmer's line cutting blade will trim it to the correct length upon first use.

Operating Considerations

Once the new spool is installed, the strimmer operates as usual. The pre-wound line is designed for optimal performance with compatible models.

Line Feeding: Most strimmers have an automatic or bump-feed mechanism. Lightly tap the strimmer head on the ground while operating at full speed to advance the line.
Cutting Performance: The 3mm nylon line is suitable for general grass trimming tasks. Avoid using it on excessively thick brush or woody stems, which can cause premature line breakage or damage to the strimmer.
Line Wear: The nylon line will wear down during use. Regularly check the line length and advance it as needed.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance extends the life of your spool and ensures consistent performance.

Storage: Store the spool and any spare line in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Extreme temperatures can affect the flexibility and strength of the nylon line.
Cleaning: Periodically clean the strimmer head and the spool area to remove grass clippings, dirt, and debris. This prevents blockages and ensures smooth line feeding.
Line Inspection: Before each use, inspect the exposed nylon line for fraying, nicks, or excessive wear. Replace the spool if the line is severely damaged or if you are experiencing frequent breakages.
Replacing Line: When the pre-wound line is depleted, you can either replace the entire spool with a new pre-wound one or manually rewind the spool with compatible 3mm nylon strimmer line.

Troubleshooting

Here are some common issues and their potential solutions related to the spool and line.

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Line not feeding out	Line tangled or jammed inside spool. Spool incorrectly installed. Debris in the strimmer head. Line fused together due to heat.	Remove spool, untangle line, and re-wind neatly. Reinstall spool, ensuring correct orientation and fit. Clean out any debris from the strimmer head. Remove spool, separate fused lines, or replace spool.
Line breaks frequently	Cutting against hard surfaces (e.g., concrete, fences). Line is old or brittle. Incorrect line diameter (though this spool is pre-wound). Strimmer head speed too low.	Avoid contact with hard surfaces. Replace the spool. Ensure strimmer is operating at full RPM.
Strimmer vibrates excessively	Uneven line length. Damaged strimmer head or spool.	Ensure both lines are of equal length after feeding. Inspect strimmer head and spool for damage; replace if necessary.
