You sir, are a lifesaver. I used your directions and had it changed in seconds. The directions that came with the trimmer were unhelpful at best. THANK YOU!!!!!!❤❤❤

Did you manage to do it

Keep tension with your finger on the spool line as you you insert line through the opening. The line won't unravel on you.

Thank you for sharing this ! It was absolutely helpful! This is my second year of using the trimmer, I had absolutely no idea how to fix it but with your video I was able to trim my grass today!🙏🥰😁😁😁

My cap broke and I needed to see the inside to order the correct parts that went missing. Thanks for the close up view, that really helped.

So far I am happy with switching over to battery powered. Have the same one as you and also decided to forgoe gas mowers and bought an 80V Kobalt mower. I was so tired of the "choking" aspect on gas powered tools. I always had issues. Battery power all the way now!

Opening the package was very helpful. I keep thinking I’m a klutz because I can’t find the “easy open” tab. Now I know there isn’t one. Thanx.

The manual is of little help with this job, so thanks for a clear description.

The notches in the spool are for holding the line while you are setting on the drive spool. Pull out 6” of line , lock it in one of the notches, thread the line thru the hole as you are installing the spool. When the spool is locked, tug on the line and it’s ready to go

I have watched many of these videos and no one talks about that little thing inside the spool ( looking like a 'comma" sign). Does it stay towards the middle of the spool or towards the edging of the spool???? I am aggravated with these spools. My son cut the grass yesterday in the evening and had no time to trim so there I went out this morning and I had to stop every 3 min and fix the thread because it comes out easily and ends even sooner. They need to come up with something better. I hope I can find something that does not drive me crazy!!!!

Can't really tell remotely. My guess is the line isn't wrapped right probably. It should just pull to come out of the spool.

It's been almost 2 years, how has the trimmer held up from a reliability stand point? On a full charge how long is the battery lasting now versus when you first bought it?

@netman88

4 жыл бұрын

The trimmer is still great. I don't have any problem with it. Well thru a few spools of lines already. I found the battery doesn't last that long so definitely need the 2 batteries.

It's normal that the line touches the guard when you turn it on????or it's doesn't have to touch it??

Does anyone know what to do when the line is being used up quickly?

The trimmer itself may be reasonable inexpensive but you pay through the nose for the replacement spools. In Canada, that three-pack costs $30 at Lowe's.

I had a model older than this one that I love. My sister has difficulty with tools that are too heavy and she actually loved mine and found it easy to use kzread.infoUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG . This is a newer model but was even lighter which she really appreciates. She enjoys it and I no longer have to go to her house to trim as she can handle it fine. Haven't used it enough to comment on the battery life but lithium batteries last longer than the old style. Being cordless makes it easy to trim the far edges of the property. The entire yard can be trimmed with one charged battery.
