I haven't used mine for quite a while, and I ALWAYS forget how to reload the string by the time i use it again. Many thanks for this refresher course!

Great! Thank you!

Thank you so much! I’ve been dreading to do this on my first weeder, but your instructions made it so simple to follow and restring!

Glad this was helpful!

I needed to use this trimmer for the first time. First time for any trimmer, in fact. It belongs to my son, who's not in town, but my yard was looking like the little shop of horrors so I had to figure it out. Of course it had no trimmer string in it :) With your instructions though, I was able to load the string and actually use it. The string I purchased was round, not triangular, and when I heard you recommend triangular I thought heck, I messed up. But it worked just fine. Thank you! Sincerely, 69-year-old Tool-Avoidant Female.

Good job figuring it out! And thanks for the comment!

Very helpful information. Better than the manual. Have to replace my cord for the first time since purchasing years ago. Thanks for making this.

Thanks! The store said to just pop the replacement spool in and that doesn’t work at all! So I watched you do it manually! The thumb trick worked.

Thank you this was very simple and easy to follow. I am recently divorced so I don’t have a man around the house to do these things for me and since my brothers and father have passed I have had to learn to do all the things they did around the house for myself, so thank you for this.

My main problem is taking off the cap. I thought I was doing it wrong, but after watching your tape I decided I may have smaller hands and less strength to press the two buttons, but after a struggle I manage. Thanks for the instructions.

You can use a flat-head screwdriver to press in each tab and gently pry down to begin getting the cap off. From there you can pull it off by hand.

It’s lot harder than he says. It’ll make you pull your hair out.

is that true? I’ve had the 24v for a year and have yet to figure out how to replace the spool and have it advance. I just assumed it was my incompetence. It may still be. But I am ready to surrender.

I’m having issues with the weed eater staying running. I’ve taken the spool out to troubleshoot buy running it without the spool and the bumper and spring will fly out, I’m not sure what this may be. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated, thanks

@FixEverythingYourself

Is the battery dying? What happens when you run it with all the parts installed but no string? Another thing to look at is whether there's grass stuck around the spool head anywhere. This could cause a lot of resistance that the battery can't overcome. So clean out any grass if there is any.

@@FixEverythingYourself Hello thank you for your quick response, I apologize I’m just seeing this! But luckily for me it was still under warranty and I was able to just switch it out. Without the string in it it would run momentarily but then the bumper piece/knob that snaps down with a spring would just fly off. I’m not sure if something was broken but I just couldn’t figure it out. And if I remember correctly without that bumper piece it would continue running.

That's the kind I have, wish I'd bought a DeWalt, they are easier to reload. I seen in the 40 volt Kobalt now has that easier loaded head

@FixEverythingYourself

Yep, I agree with you

Question: is this trimmer supposed to have a spring for the bump head to work properly? Mine didn’t seem to come with a spring, and my past gas powered trimmers had a spring-loaded bump-action line feeder. Is this bump head supposed to work without a spring? Because my trimmer line does not feed at all, and I’m using the correct line size… super frustrated, weed wacking takes forever since I have to manually pull out line every 5 minutes… thanks for any help you can give!

@FixEverythingYourself

Well, I haven't physically seen the spring but I can feel the bump-head feature has a spring within it, so yeah. The center black piece that would bump the ground is springy on mine, so there must be a spring inside there. If yours isn't springy, that's likely the problem.

I just changed the line on mine and I took that centerpiece out. There is definitely a spring under there

Try using a large, flathead screwdriver to press them in. Aim the screwdriver slightly downward while pressing in.

@FixEverythingYourself

And you can press them in one at a time with the screwdriver.

There is a better trimmer head available: EGO AH1530 Rapid Reload head. It is a bump feed head that you don't have to take apart to reload. It can use the .095 line. I installed one on mine: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hXaTwaqQor3eorQ.html FYI: I agree about removing the battery.

Most worthless piece of junk I ever bought.

This is such a terrible design on this.

These weed eaters are junk, buy a gas one and save yourself the trouble and money

My yard is tiny. Gas would be a waste but a bit to big to do by hand. This is a perfect light duty weed wacker for someone like me.
