To properly load the line on a Ryobi 40V string trimmer, follow these steps:
- Turn off the trimmer and disconnect the power source.
- Remove the spool cover by pressing the tabs on the sides and pulling it off.
- Take out the spool and clean any debris or old line.
- Cut a length of new trimmer line (about 15 feet) and insert one end into the anchor hole on the spool.
- Wind the line evenly and tightly in the direction indicated on the spool.
- Leave a few inches of line unwound and insert the other end into the retainer slot.
- Reassemble the spool and cover, then reconnect the power source.
Make sure to consult the trimmer's manual for specific instructions and safety precautions.
