What Am I Doing Wrong

I received your dual trimmer spool and line with cover yesterday. I put into my strimmer exactly as the video says. The cut of the grass was fantastic but caught my leg a few times as the line was quite long I trimmed this down a couple of times but found that the line was being used quite quickly and I know this shouldn't happen. Can someone suggest what I may have done wrong. I know its threaded ok but at this rate I will be ordering another spool next week. Thankyou

    The trimmer line should only extend when you 'ask for it' this is usually by tapping the spool on the ground or pressing a feed button. Check under the spool there should be a lever that locks the spool to prevent unwinding. This may be missing or damaged or just stuck up with grass dust. Clean and replace as required.
