6. Take approximately 16 feet (5 m) of new trimming
line, loop it into two equal lengths. Insert each end of
the line through one of the two holes in the inner reel
(Fig. 37 or 38). Pull the line through the inner reel so
that the loop is as small as possible.
7. Wind the lines in tight even layers, onto the reel
(Fig. 39 or 40). Wind the line in the direction indicated
on the inner reel. Place your index finger between the
two lines to stop the lines from overlapping. Do not
overlap the ends of the line. Proceed to step 11.
