To replace the bump knob on a Kobalt KST 130X-06:

1. Remove the old bump knob from the trimmer head. This may require pulling or unscrewing, depending on wear.
2. Align the new bump knob with the trimmer head.
3. Press it into place. No tools are required for installation.
4. Ensure it is securely attached and spins freely.

The replacement bump knob is designed for tool-free installation and fits the Kobalt KST 130X-06 and KST 130X 40-Volt string trimmers.

The document does not provide specific instructions on how to refill the line on a Kobalt KST 130X-06. However, based on general trimmer spool replacement practices, you can follow these steps:

1. Turn Off the Trimmer – Ensure the trimmer is powered off and remove the battery for safety.
2. Remove the Spool Cover – Press the tabs or unscrew the cap holding the spool in place.
3. Take Out the Empty Spool – Carefully remove the old spool.
4. Insert the New Line – If refilling manually, cut a length of 0.080-inch trimmer line (17 feet recommended). Insert one end into the spool’s anchor hole and wind it evenly in the direction indicated on the spool.
5. Reinstall the Spool – Place the refilled or replacement spool back into the trimmer head.
6. Secure the Spool Cover – Snap or screw the cover back into place.
7. Test the Trimmer – Reinsert the battery and test the trimmer to ensure proper feeding of the line.

For exact instructions, refer to the trimmer’s user manual.
