How Do You Open The Head Of A Ryobi String Trimmer?
Ryobi string trimmers need to be respooled periodically. The string line is advanced by tapping the string head on the ground while running the engine at full throttle. Line is released by the action of the tapping. The string will become worn prematurely if you are cutting around objects like fences, metal pipes and other protuberances. When the string has been completely used up, you will need to remove the head, open the head and restring it. Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire. Remove the string head. Open the head by pressing down on the latches on each side of the head. The contents are spring-loaded. Keep your hand over the contents because the spring and bolt can be easily lost, particularly in long grass. Remove the string head cover, knob and spool and set them aside while you restring. Remember where you left the pieces.
