I can't seem to get the spool off.
The Weed Eater brand of trimmers have very few spool tangles
No, electric weedeaters have a motor and a cord spool.
It's tangled on the spool. You need to open & rewind around it.
The spool can be taken off a Weed Eater Twist N Edger TE 15 by pressing inward and turning it counter clockwise. This allows more cutting line to be added or jams to be cleared.
Locate the round tap button. Pull it straight out, firmly. This opens the chamber for new line or spool. I figured this out five minutes ago.
Line the mark up with the arrow and pull real hard.
pull straight out to remove the spool, wind in the direction of the arrow - to replace, feed the string through the hole and pull on it, keeping slight tension on the spool as you push it back into the head
Installing new string on a Homelite 26ss weed eater is very easy. You will need to take off the empty spool and put the new one on. Take two pieces of the strings and put each in one of the empty slots opposite each other. The put the spool and grasp the strings pulling them into place.
it actlly all depends on which head you have...but regardless always roll spool putting the line on it, don't roll the line, but the spool, keeps the line able to come off when bumping, if you wind the line around the spool it will normally melt and prevent it from feeding.
You can get rid of an old weed eater at a recycling center. If you take the weed eater apart, you can get money for the metal.
