Why is it that no one on YouTube agrees how to spool these? There are specific starting point hooks for 0.95 and .105 and they are on OPPOSITE sides of the head. They would not start in the same place according to the notation on it. Second, Stihl's video suggests holding the line from the bottom of the head into an outer loop on the bottom and the top line on a loop on the top of the head. This would make that piece of line crossing over the two spool channels not present. I've yet to see a single video combine all of this info on this head. Thus, I don't know how it's SUPPOSED to be done.
