Thread on the grass trimmer breaks constantly - What to do?
The joy of gardening gets a damper when the thread on the grass trimmer constantly tears. Before you finally burst the collar with this Dauerärger, read this guide. This keeps a mower thread at the brush cutter longer.
Wind the grass trimmer thread properly - not too tight and not too loose
Commercially available, high quality grass trimmers work with a reusable coil in the thread mowing head. When the thread is used up, the costs are limited to the purchase of a new cutting line that is wound onto the spool. So that the wire does not tear constantly, it is crucial to the winding technology. You should pay attention to that.
To find the perfect winding, we looked garden professionals over the shoulder. Where daily grass trimmers are used, the thread is wrapped medium loose with a small reserve. Moreover, trimmer experts do not lead the wire straight, as on a sewing thread roll, but slightly offset and diamond-shaped.
Wet mowing lasts longer - that's how it works
If a grass trimmer thread breaks constantly, even though it is perfectly wound, the material has lost its elasticity. This problem arises mainly with new or too long stored mowing threads. How to keep a mowing wire longer:
Different grass trimmers work with a thread mowing head whose wire can not be replaced separately from the spool. In this case, put the wound coil in the water for about 2 days.
Edged thread is tough
The quality of the thread material significantly influences stability and durability. When purchasing a new cutting line, therefore, do not just pay attention to the right strength. Grab a wire of aluminum polyamide with at least three edges and a tactile rough surface.
Tips
If a grass trimmer strikes because the thread is not coming up, solve the problem with a thorough cleaning. Remove the thread head and disassemble the component. Remove dirt, small stones and twigs as they block the coil. Then reassemble the mower head.
