This video shows you how to install new trimmer line on a Husqvarna 223L String Trimmer.
Trimmer line can wear down, become frayed, and even break as you constantly use it to trim weeds and edges around your home. Always keep your trimmer spool wound with enough trimmer line, so you won't run out in the middle of a job.
*Jack's Safety Tips: Before servicing or repairing any power equipment, disconnect the spark plug. Remember to wear appropriate safety gear to protect against harmful chemicals and debris.

Who else has to rewatch this every spring?
2 years in a row lol
Ain’t right!
LOL,I think I'm good now, we'll see...
Me😂
Me 100 percent
Great to the point video. Loved how the young man didn't give a 15-minute history of the weedeater,
Newz we can uze...w/o the stuff we don't need!
Absolutely on point comment.
In 1863 Bartholomew Gaines invented the first hand powered, worm gear drivin line trimmer. It saw little sales, until a peanut farmer named Otis Carbuncle improved upon the design with patent 3,672....

Next to my wedding day and becoming a father, watching and seeing how to do this ranks way higher than it should. I've had my husq weedeater for 10 years and.... I'm not crying, you're crying.
ditto! so simple! Guess I should have read the manual.
Thank you so much, I spent an hour trying to figure out how to string my new trimmer. The instructions were of no help to me. I found your video and had the trimmer strung on the first try. Perfect instructions!
IKR? I recently bought one. The Owners Manual Is A Complete & Unfunny Joke. Besides That? You Need A James Webb Telescope To See The TINY PICTURES & WORDS🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Dude- gotta tell you I watched this almost one year ago to the date. Thanks for making this video for all us mechanically-challenged people. See you next spring!
Thank you so much for this video! My husband passed away 2 months ago and I am having to learn how to do this stuff by myself. I couldnt find the owners manual to try and figure it out!
So sorry for your loss, and I believe that you can do anything that you put your mind to. :)
I hope you're coping ok.
Hope everything is ok
Thank you Jack. This is WAY easier than how I was doing it before. Now I don't have to dread restringing my trimmer!!
Did you not read the manual? The two ends should not be even. The offset distance varies with head model number. This difference in length of the two lines eliminates the excess waste when the line trimmer blade cuts off the ends.
Wow, a huge THANK YOU for this video! I’ve watched others in the past that made this process soo much more complicated and confusing. Gosh, who knew it could be this simple. Got it on the first try - yay!
I just spent a hour tryin to put it in til that light 💡 popped in my head and said go to TH-cam after watching this it only took 2 minutes lol I’m thankful for this video appreciate it
I’ve lived off the grid for 25 years and used Stihl and Husqvarna weedeaters with string. I’ve been doing it wrong for 25 years.😂 Thanks for the video.
Welcome to the internet :)
25 years off Grid. I’d be dead in 24 hours ! I’m pathetic at anything one would need to life like you. Take my had off to you if I had one 👍🏻
Same.. Been weed eating for 20 years and apparently i've been doing it wrong the whole time
This the only string trimmer I've ever owned that I needed to look up instructions on how to re-string it. Good video
Don't worry, it will outlast you so you don't need to learn another one lol
🔥 thank you sir for reassuring me the way to do this. This is my first time ever putting string on these kinds of weed eaters. Thanka again.🔥
Jack, Thanks! Instead of dreading to try to figure out how to restring my weed eater in the past, I would go and buy a new head already strung. Thanks for making this so simple.

Thank you, Jack! Simple & straight to the point. Single momma here, trying to do it ALL.
THIS IS THE BEST NO NONSENSE VIDEO ON INSTRUCTION! Just got a new HUSQVARNA L!29 and it ran out of line in 2 uses. I oRdered an Echo 450 Speed Head but can't hurt to know how to do this. THANKS!!!
Glad I watched a second video: first 1 was saying to use 2 pieces, but I think mine needs 1 like this.
Thanks Jack.... the loop now makes more sense, DUH !!
You'd think I'd remember this but here I am in early spring once again watching this.
SUPERIOR to other Husqvarna spool install videos. #1 Clear carmera angles, and #2, optimal verbal description; well done!
You have saved the day for me! Took it to hardware store and guy there wasn't informed on dual string. Now I found you and your very clear simply explanation is appreciated!
I'm 14 and my family just bought a new weedeater, I'm officially the first one to know how to change the string lol! Thank you so much!!!
How long of a string did you use?
Looking at other posts and don't see the length either.
None of the other quick videos I found showed me a weedeater that didn't have holes. Thank you for sharing this! It helped me restring my Redmax TR2300S where all the other videos failed!
Yup, same for me they were all the holes kind.
I wish he would gave how much line is necessary. I will try 15ft divided by two equals 7.5 on each side we’ll see if that works.
Perfect. Easy to follow without 5 minutes of crap as other videos have
Thanks. Bought used one. No manual. Spool holes looked odd when went to line it. Never would have guessed to loop it. All other double lines had before were 2 separate lines. Good simple video.
Thx pal , I have been trying to figure this out for 2 seasons now.
Thank you so much for this video. My awesome husband bought one of these units for me for Mother’s Day ! I love it but already misplaced the manual.
you just made my yard work 50 percent easier. thank you
Have had the husq 324L since 2011 and just now learned how to do it properly. Wow. Thanks for your video. So simple now that I see the technique.
Me too. This is crazy easy. I was wrapping it around both sides with only one continual wind. It would never retract on it's own by this method. And the other videos I watched showed a different design on the wind cylinder. They had 2 holes in them to insert both sides of line. So, I just looked up Husqvarna specifically and now inderstand the correct way to wind the line. I am so happy. THANK YOU!!
So easy. Glad I watched this video before simply trying to figure it out (like I normally do)
Finally, a video without the bs. Thank you.
Very helpful, thanks. I have to rewatch this every time I use it
Thank you for having the easiest directions I’ve seen so far.
Thank You!!! My instructions got thrown out and I had no clue how to do this. Now I do. So much easier than my last trimmer.
Never in a million years would I have thought to do that. You’re awesome
This was extremely helpful to me on short notice on a side job having to change the string on my husqavarna weedeater , i am used to an echo , so this was a big help thank you
Thank you. This will work for an older Ego trimmer also that I bought 2 years after this video. Exactly what I needed.
Thank you Jack I borrowed a friend's weed eater it is almost brand new it is the Husqvarna 525l I did not know how to change the string thanks for the info
My go to video twice a year. Thanks for posting.
Excellent, simple, and informative! Great job!
Thank you so much for your help with your video. I have family members, for some reason don't like to get help from TH-cam. And they're not old, I don't understand some times. I showed them your video, they said they liked it. Thank you again for your help!
Thank you so much. The spool came ready to use but when I had to open it to find more line it wasn’t strung right. Maybe tomorrow will be easier going.
Haha! Right! Just had to re-watch! Happy Spring!! 🤣
Great video, not wasting time and easy to follow. Thank you!
Thanks for the short vid. Straight to the point.
Quick, easy and to the point. Thank you sir!
Thanks man. You saved me some headache and more than a few curse words.
109 dislikes by very simple people. Great video I appreciate it.
The sad part is that I can't remember how to restring the bloody thing, and I have to re-watch the video..... G'day from Australia mate.
No shrimp on the barbie until I get the lawn edged.
Good video buddy straight-to-the-point
Beautiful short video. Thanks so much.
thank you, I knew it was simple , just needed someone to show me!
FYI you can go with about twice the length of what he's got measured out. I would say 3 ft is only about half the spool
I havent used one of these since i was a teenager and thought that me still in my mid 20s would remember, it appears not lol, killer video helped alot
Thanks I just got a trimmer this will help me out big time
Thank you very much. Solved the problem DH was having using just the diagrams in the user manual.
The best. Awesome don't have to watch it ten times.
If you clamp your loose line ends into a vise, you can wind the spool nice and straight. Clamp them, then walk toward the vise while you're winding.
Thanks for the vid. Super helpful. I had been stringing my spool totally backwards. It seemed to work for the most part but I could tell it wasnt right
Nicely done!
Thanks for that video. I was racking my brains on how I was going to string that thing. (Trimmer). That was easy. I appreciate that thanks again. Have a nice day. Stay safe. 👍👍👍👍
Good easy to follow illustrations , but STEP ONE was left out. . How long of a line is needed to fold in half
Thank you, I bought the 525rx weed eater with no instructions on how to respool the cord
Great job. Heck, I'd still be out there trying to figure it out. Thanks
Thank you. Greatly appreciated
It would have been nice if Husqvanna mentioned it in the instructions
Mentioned what?
@@bwm3013 What the video shows obviously, the correct way to wind the spool 🙄
I said screw it this year, and bought Husqvarna's version of a speed feed trimmer head. Reloading line is significantly less annoying now.
wow for two years i have been doing it wrong, lol.. no wonder my string never stayed in well...
Same here lol
TheRichard4098 omg same i just went through half of a 125 foot roll already in one day
Never heard of a weirder way to do it honestly. Blew my mind
Great video. I posted a similar one on my site as I always need a reminder every summer on the proper way to change the line. Ha.
OMG ! Now that I watched your video it so easy . Thanks
Coming back from last summer
Excellent concise video. Thanks
What length of line are you supposed to put in!
Three full arm lengths
@@DaysAhead202 Your arm lengths or mine? ;P
@@JW86SH As long as you're not Dikembe Mutombo, you'll have sufficient arm length...Arm length meter goes from mini me Dr. Evil to Hulk Hogan....Anything past HH, and you may need to trim a little excess. HTH
@@DaysAhead202 LOL
Cut a 10ft length of line. Attach the halfway point to the inside 'hook' of the spool. Then wind counter clockwise.
Yes make sure you disconnect the spark plug. The weed eater could suddenly start by itself and press its own throttle button 😄😂😂. By the way people don't mess with the spark plug wire. You're just going to end up having problems with it later on if you keep disconnecting it.
I KNEW there was an easy way!! Thank you!
This helped me string my Tanaka. Been using .95 line and now after watching videos that seems pretty heavy.
Thank you very much...easy to follow and understand..the best video! Thank you again!
Omg. Thank u. For this explanation video. Will be watching it every time from now on lol
Thank you, this is the first video I found that I could understand! I appreciate it!
Very easy instructional video thank you I'll never forget how to do it from this point on have a good one.
Thank you very much. Big boot to Husqvarna for not explaining how to do this in their manual.
Third year in a row watching this. Lol. Now to my next question, how long of string can a Husky spool hold?
Brilliant - me too. Been doing it wrong. Thank you JacksSmallEnginesTV
Thanks for uploading this mate. I just bought one of these trimmers, and had no idea how to fit the string when it disappeared inside after 5 minutes of use!
Glad to help! Once you've got it down once, it's as easy as tying your shoe
Damn, Jack read instructions, now why can't others?..lol
Most try to snap reel on top first, then fight its bottom rim on last. Also they flip trimmers upside down, Husqvarna clearly states load it with trimmer upright so trimmer starts easier. Great job Bud!
Husqvarna made these heads right, mine was used in a large cemetery for 10yrs and still being used on my 3 acres weekly. These heads are brutes. People who can't load a weedeater head opt for speed feed heads, we had guys go through 1-2 a month hitting headstones, those SF heads are junk. You can buy each piece on this head too, no reason to buy entire head for spring or worn button you trim street/sidewalk with instead of the grass..lol
. Practice loading it with 10ft of line about an hour, you'll have it down to speed feed times soon enough.
It's the last head you'll ever buy right here. I tossed the speed feeds in trash from my Shindiawa & Echo when they split, I put a universal T35 head on & there still on them. That was 10 yrs ago. Practice loading a short line in your best recliner like I did, you'll learn it fast!..lol
Thanks dude. Short and sweet. Just switched to Husqevarna and I was pulling my hair out lol
I almost feel stupid for not knowing how to string my trimmer like that after all this time. Thanks for the lesson!
Same here.
Jacob Duncan don't worry, I have been doing it wrong for 2 years! Just watched this today and now I can finally do it right.
My trimmer line keep breaking every cut I do, what am I doing wrong? I bought medium trimmer line but everyone I do the trimming grass it’s gets shorter and have to open adjust line and start over again.
Please advice me
Euram Tek: You have to wind it in the correct direction. There's a small indicator on the spool for direction. Hope that helped!
I see two indicators that goes in to win it. Do o use in both or just 1?
Great guide, thanks!
Why disconnect the spark plug?
So how long should the trim line be? 10, 20, 30 Ft before you fold it?
Thanks so much for this! Short and to the point! Take my like! 👍
Thanks my guy..😂I have to watch this Everytime
Well hell yeah, thanks Jack.
Thank you so much, only video that got straight to the point👍🏻
Nice job! I assume the lines dislodge from the spool slots that they snap into initially after you press them down into the eyelets or are they supposed to stay in the spool slots too?
Thank you! You made that very easy for me.
thanks , how long should you cut the trimmer line ?
Good video, shows everything. I have a T45X head on my Husqvarna and it works very nice.
Stringed it backwards ... great job
