The line may not wind into the head of the MasterForce STB460 due to one or more of the following reasons:
1. The slots on the spool cap and string head are not aligned. 2. The line is not inserted correctly through the string head holes. 3. The spool cap is not turned clockwise to wind the line. 4. There is debris or old line obstructing the spool or spool housing. 5. The line is not pulled evenly through both sides.
Ensure proper alignment, clean components, and follow the correct winding procedure.
