When to replace string trimmer line?
There’s no set time to change the trimmer wire, but monitor it for wear and tear. If the line looks weak or frayed or stops cutting right, it’s time for a new one. Homeowners should replace their line at the beginning of trimming season. Old line can get brittle over the winter, and it’s best to start with new line. Additionally, if you’re trimming more than once a week or taking on heavier, thicker weeds and underbrush, you may need to replace your trimmer line more often.
