I want to know the correct way to restring this trimmer and does it have a means to add string by tapping it or if you have to shut off the trimmer to manually pull the string out

Your SX-135 string trimmer was built by Homeliteand has a model number of UT-20601. That said, your trimmer's primer bulb part number depends on teh type of carburetor it has. If your trimmer has a Walbro carburetor, the primer bulb part no. is 01201. If it has a Zama carburetor (the most likely one) the primer bulb part no. is A01195A.
YOU MUST REMOVE THE STRING HEAD YOU SHOULD HAVE TWO PEICES THE IUTER HOUSING YOU SHOULD CLEAN THE INNER SPOOL REMOVE ANY OLD STRING AND LOOK ON THE BOTTOM THERE SHOULD BEARROWS TO TELL YOU WHICH WAY TO WIND THE NEW STRING
remove assembly clean with soap and water and toothbrush(make sure when you dissasemble make notes of how to put back together!)Check spring make sure not broke or distorted-oil with silicon oil(walmart sells or auto parts store)reassemble reverse of dissassemble!!! hope this helps you!!!!
most trimmers are 50:1. or 40:1. i would use synthetic 2 cycle oil and use the 50:1 ratio. i know guys with trimmers that require 50:1, and they use synthetic at 80:1 with no problems for years. they say the engine runs cleaner. i am a part-time lawn care operator.
Cut two pieces of 18" commercial grade line - one to mount on each side. Look at the series of holes, two on bottom of rotating head, two immediately above but on outer lip of plate. Go up through the bottom two holes, even up your piece of line (like when you are putting in a new shoe string in a pair of shoes) and cross over then out through the top two. All done. If you are using an adequate grade of commercial line you can trim for hours over the roughest of stuff without worrying about restringing.
