The parts diagram on page 10 shows which way the strimmer line is
wound.

That's looking like anti-clockwise for that model?

As you say ...

Thanks for all the help here!


I just wonder if some lubrication is needed?

Well for the thing to work the centre drum has to revolve for the line

up when you tap it on the ground.
If these things don't happen for you then you are in trouble.
