FAQs

What is the diameter of this trimmer line?

The diameter of this specific St Helens trimmer line is 1.6mm.

How long is the trimmer line on this spool?

This product contains 20 meters of trimmer line.

Is this trimmer line suitable for all types of trimmers?

It is designed to fit all standard trimmer heads and popular makes and models, but it's always best to check your trimmer's manual for compatibility regarding line diameter.

What applications is this trimmer line best suited for?

It is suitable for a wide range of cutting applications, including cutting through stubborn weeds and overgrown grass, and for general lawn edging.

Will this line work for heavy-duty brush cutting?

While durable, the 1.6mm thickness is generally best for grass and weeds. For very dense brush, a thicker diameter line might be more effective.

What is the color of the trimmer line?

The trimmer line is orange.

Does the line shape affect its performance?

This line has a round shape, which provides good all-around cutting performance for grass and weeds. Some specialized tasks might benefit from twisted or square-shaped lines.

Troubleshooting

Trimmer line breaks frequently

Ensure the line is correctly wound onto the spool and not binding. Check if you are using the line for applications it's not designed for (e.g., thick brush or contact with hard surfaces like concrete).

Line is not feeding out

Check that the line is wound correctly and that the trimmer head mechanism is functioning properly. Ensure the line is not tangled within the spool.

Uneven cutting performance

Make sure the line is of consistent length on both sides of the trimmer head and that the head is rotating smoothly. Check for debris obstruction in the trimmer head.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Disengage Trimmer: Ensure your string trimmer is turned off and the power source (battery or cord) is disconnected.
  2. Access Trimmer Head: Open the spool or trimmer head according to your specific trimmer's manual.
  3. Remove Old Line: If necessary, remove any remaining old trimmer line.
  4. Install New Line: Thread the new St Helens trimmer line through the designated eyelets or around the spool. Wind the line evenly onto the spool, ensuring it is taut but not overly tight. Many heads have guides for winding.
  5. Reassemble Trimmer Head: Close and secure the trimmer head.
  6. Test: Briefly run the trimmer at low speed to ensure the line feeds correctly.

Compatibility:

This 1.6mm diameter trimmer line is designed to fit the vast majority of standard trimmer heads and popular makes and models. It is recommended to consult your trimmer's manual if you are unsure about line diameter compatibility.

Care:

  • Storage: Store the trimmer line in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its flexibility and strength.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the line for wear or fraying during use and replace as needed.
  • Cleaning: The line itself does not require cleaning, but ensure the trimmer head remains free of debris.
