Hello, first to know the knob to remove the string holder is left handed, you trun it right to loosen and left to secure. Once removed, look at the 2 grooves, upper and lower. Upper being the groove closest to the knob. Find the holes in each grrove, start with either upper or lower, whatever, find the hole in the groove to insert the string, insert then start winding the string around the groove. You want to go "backwards" from the hole in the groove, insert the string then kink back and wind in that direction. Do the same for both upper and lower. Now, for the upper groove, leave adequate string for usage and bend down into the first slot, there are two slots stacked on top of eachother for each groove, they are located 180 degrees apart. Pick one side for the upper and the other for the lower. For the upper groove just bend the string down one groove and the lower, bend the string down through both the grooves. now that you have the strings positioned and loaded, hold them in place best you can and string one of the ends through the holes in the weedeater "cup" and the other string thru the other hole in the "cup" - being sure to hold the strings in place so they do not come out of the slots. then turn the holder to the left until secured.
