Replacing the Spool + Clearing Jams 

and Tangled Lines

m

WARNING!

 Unplug the extension cord from the main 

power plug before changing the trimmer line.

1.  Press together both release tabs on the line spool cover 

and remove the cover by pulling it straight off (Fig. 23).

2.  Lift and remove the sleeve and spool out of the hub  

(Fig. 24) and clean out any dirt or grass residue. 

3.  In case of jams or tangled line, unwrap about 6 inches  

(15 cm) of line to ensure that it's not damaged. 

4.  If it appears undamaged, rewind it and insert each line end 

through the two slots on each side of the sleeve. Place the 

sleeve over the spool (Fig. 25).

5.  Insert each line end through its respective slot on each 

side of the hub and gently press the spool down (Fig. 26).

6.  Reinstall the spool cover by depressing the release tabs 

into their slots in the hub, and push down until the spool 

cover clicks into place.

7.  Connect the tool to a power source and turn the tool 

on. In a few seconds, you will hear the line being cut 

automatically to the proper length.

Winding the Line

NOTE:

 A dual-line factory wound spool (model TRJ13STERS) 

is available for easy spool replacement on the TRJ13STE 

electric grass t edger. Visit snowjoe.com to purchase 

this accessory online. Should you wish to wind the line 

yourself, the instructions are provided below. Self-winding, 

however, is NOT recommended because if the line is not 

wound properly it can cause the trimmer’s auto feed system 

to malfunction. For this reason, users are strongly urged to 

purchase the pre-wound spool.
