Thank you so much for this video… I lost my husband, he did the weed whacking, and had no idea how to do this. I was asking neighbors for help then remembered my husband telling me that if I ever need help with anything…. Just KZread it♥️

Well, I'm sorry about your husband but your comment made my day so thank you! Glad I could help!
I don't think you guys that do these "how to" videos understand how much you impact lives. It is such a good feeling to do something yourself and not always have to ask for help. Thank you!!!!

Cheers, mate. Tried mine out for the first time today and got it snagged on some stringy grass at my mum's place and snapped the line. Just pulled the cord out and re-fed it through as per your video. 👍

Dude thank you, I havent been able to trim because for the life of me I could not figure out to to restring this thing. I thought I did it correctly, and then it would work for a minute and all the string would wind out. I was doing it just the completely incorrect way. You saved me. Thanks!

Very clear HELPFUL video, thank you for making it! My trimmer only has 1 white line on it, so I couldn't match the pieces using 2 white lines, but it went together easily and works perfectly. Yippee!

Thanks! Much easier than I thought it would be, and SO much better an explanation than the official manual. I got my line cut short by inadvertently booking the electrical lines under my trailer. I had no clue what to do. This video and the one you linked about the tangled line set me straight. 🙏

Very very helpful. Thank you. I have an old Stihl trimmer and you have to take that thing all apart and wind up two separate strings. I thought this was going to be the same thing so I took the whole thing apart. Then I was wondering how it worked since it looked to be easier than my old trimmer. Found your video and everything makes sense. So much easier.

For anyone who might have any trouble like I did, the last part of my old line got stuck inside the assembly. I didn’t feel comfortable leaving it in while I added my new line, so take it out! It’s easy, just pinch both of the “tab” looking parts of the plastic assembly in and you can take half of the assembly off.
I was stressing on how I was going to replace this. Thank you!!!

Thanks for video. When the string gets short while trimming how does it put out more string?.
@FixEverythingYourself

You tap the head lightly on the ground while it's spinning at mostly full speed. This allows a tiny bit of string to release and you'll hear the metal blade cutting the string when it gets long enough.

I struggled mightily to get my Dewalt string to comply with your instructions, but because of something you didn't tell me, I was unable to do so. My spool still had string on it so the new string wouldn't go through. I spent hours on the phone with support, then I visited a local repair shop sho spotted the problem right away. Easy fix.

You don't have to keep twisting the cap to load the string you can hold the bottom portion of it and just ratchet the top portion
Short and correct. Good job

When I tired to reload mine both parts spin . Like I can't line up the holes because no matter ehat I do both sides spin with each other .
Loaded as directed but I'm still having issues with it overfeeding the line and spooling up around the shaft. Any pointers would be appreciated👍
@FixEverythingYourself

It's feeding out too much string? This is usually caused by the string being wound the wrong direction on the spool. Since this weedeater winds it automatically, perhaps the string is too curled when you feed it thru and it goes the wrong direction on the spool? You'll need to remove the string and try again. The straighter the string before feeding it in, the more likely you won't have the problem.
Awesome, thanks for sharing. 🤙🏾

That’s cool, except I don’t have those lines on my Dewalt and it’s brand new. In top of that I do see some weed whacker line still in the spool, too bad you couldn’t through a little more of these details. Guess I’ll figure out how to open it up
