I have been pulling my hair out trying to figure out how this works! Thanks mate

This is so much easier than trying to wrap the line. So glad I found this video. Worked perfectly!! Thank You !!

Mother, Father! I never knew that! Man, thanks for showing this. I was one of those boneheads that manually wound up the line and then fumbled about pushing it through the holes and at the same time replacing the head and screwing it down. Duh! Thanks again! Cheers.

Awesome!!!! And you can also feed a single 12 foot length all the way through the center of the spool and then follow your steps... I used to hate restringing, but now it's just a few minutes and I''m off.... Thank You!!!!

Thanks a lot, just bought this new stihl trimmer and the booklet didn't explain how to respool, Thank You !

I was getting ready to burn the bloody thing!! Thank you job done mate. Love from Australia 🇦🇺

Thanks Mate !!

The best explanation ever !!! Thku from Belgium !!!!

thanks dude...the way u showed how to do it makes it so less frustrating thanks

Thanks man. You should keep these types of videos going. It suits you.. 👌

Thank you brother man, I bought an FS 38 head today and was befuddled how to load the line, and this shows me clearly how. I'm going to machine the shaft of my Stihl FE 55 TO suit it, because I cannot find any new trimmer heads for it. And this FE 38 head is much easier and quicker to load the cutting line than the original FE 55 one.

Can also cut 12 feet and feed it all the way through when the arrows are lined up then pull until even sides then twist it until 4 inches left

Exactly. Way easier than having 2 strings

Thanks just bought one today & your video is easy to follow so my bump feed should work with your easy to follow instructions

I love It when a tutorial is simple and down to the point 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Yes, most clear video yet. Others I was like I can't even see what you are doing. So easy now. Thank you

I have done this wrong all my life. I feel like I just got the cure to cancer!! Thank you sir!!

Thanks man. I was doing it totally wrong. 👍🏻

It costs a little more to have a pre-spooled line, but when you're in the middle of a trimming job kzread.infoUgkx429xwEjNPnwzQohFrURRyKF51YfOD_Du , it is so nice to just pop out the old one and pop in a new one. Love Black & Decker tools. Especially the 20-volt battery operated ones. And, as usual, it came on time. Thanks Amazon!

Brilliant and to the point. A great explanation from Canada's answer to Johhny Depp. Many thanx.

This was the best video today., and you should know that today I watched reviews for the new mission impossible. Thanks from Sweden

FINALLY!!!! Now I gotta go out and dig it outta the trash….CHEERS MATE!

Just wanted to say thank you! I forget almost every year. I only have to weed whack 3-4 times a year. Thanks again! Also little tip I was told by another guy was, get your length you need (12 feet 15 feet etc.) Cut it a single length then feed it into both sides. Then go from there and when you get to the end you make your final cut and It should be even!

Brilliant, just got one of these second hand and from what I was used to on other cheaper brands this is chalk and cheese, don’t even know what the other methods were you were taking about but this is gold

You're a Legend bud, Cheers.

Thankyou soooo much this video is exactly what you need... short to the point and shows you exactly how to get it done ✔️

friggin well done bud! More importantly, Well done and TO THE POINT!!

That’s friggin awsome thanks man.

I bought this head because of your video - thanks mate for your clear instructions cheers Darren

In 4min 31 sec you just confirmed to me something that I've been doing the hard way (wrong) for 18 years. 😬

Thanks from new caledonia !

I have exactly the same weed eater with the same head and this works great. However, me and bump feed don't seem to be on the same wave length so every time it's out of string I have to take it all apart and do this method all over again. It's a love/hate relationship that's really leaning more to the hate side.

This is great. My issue after purchasing a brand new one on Friday. Is getting the thing to feed more line out. I'll put new line in before the next use and see if i do it like this it feeds out better.

I have the exact same problem, did u find a fix by any chance?

OK, I am going to try this next time I load. I will get back to you. I am back, unfortunately this does not work with tap feed but perhaps after inserting the line into the holes in the spool it may be easier to load

Great explanation!

Damn man I've been looking like crazy, thank you💯 I have a 40 trimmer

You are the man! Perfect vid. And I loved your performance in Blow!

just want to let you know how you helped me so much thank you

Best video ever!

Thank's!!!! Great job!!!👍👍👍

Thank you. This helped alot and actually made sense

SORRY TIMBERRR, Please update this video. The whole idea of this head is simplicity. You DO NOT have to take the head off or apart to recline it, You DO NOT have to cut the line in half (you feed the line (12-15 feet, 2mm or .080” or you can use 2.4mm or .095” but of course shorter) RIGHT THROUGH the HEAD (with the arrows lined up) till it comes out the other side then pull it until equal lengths then wind according to the arrows on the head

Thank you very much bro work really good

Thanks for the tutorial. It clarified a few things for me. I like your way of measuring 6 feet. We used that at a lumber mill I worked at in the early '70s. I measure my string trimmer line that way still.

life saver fr thanks for the video

Just wanted to say thank you 🙏🏾 Never had anyone teach me how to do this growing up. Now I’ll be able to teach my kids how to do this 💯 #vjpollito

Finally thank u 😢🇹🇹👈🏾👊🏿

Nice one mate appreciate it

Thanks bro 🔥🔥

Thank you for explaining the size inch of line needed🤦🏻‍♀️

Great video, the owners manual doesn't show this, which is strange, thanks

Would’ve been nice if you showed how you unscrewed the unit. That was the only thing you did off camera and the ONLY thing I needed to know. Mine will not screw off

it helps ! thanks Brother!

Excellent.thanks man,

I knew Jonny Depp was more than just an actor

Thank you so much !

Dam too easy thanks for video 👍

It worked - terrific!

Love the video! Still having trouble bumping head on a hard surface. I usually lift it up when it idles an just twist the head for more string then put it back down. Any tutorials on how to bump its head an extend line trimmer wire?

You just saved my ass mate thanks!

Good video😎👍

Thenks men 🙏

Thanks for your help

How easy is that! Thank you!

Any other tips for the fs 38? I hear theres a couple spots you can grease but ya gotta know where

This doesn't work for my weed eater. Mine is the fs38 as well but mine doesn't have the white top like yours does though so I'm wondering if that has something to do with it.

Can someone tell me how to feed it more wire as you're trimming? Does this happen automatically? I know on my honda trimmer, I would kinda smack the bottom of the head (the circular piece) against the pavement or grass kinda lightly and then more line would come out.

Same way in this one

I'm confused are so the basic Stihl trimmer has an ez feed stock or that is the ez feed system. I'm used to running it all the way through one string pull the ends together then wind up. I'm just curious cuz I don't want to spend 40$ on an auto cut head . Just bought a fs 38 online. I'll find out tomorrow. Either way great video bud . Nailed it

Thanks a lot.

That is a different head than mine came with. Mine has the standard black one . I did find a hack to make it quick. I miss my ez feed you run one 10-12' string all the way through pull the ends together stop . And wind em up

Thanks for the video! I've been a Stihl tech at Ace Hardware for about 7 years. That trimmer head is fed by one ten foot piece of line fed all the way through the head leaving 5 feet on each end and then winding it up. Is that head different? The FS 38's that we get don't come with that head. Was that added or did that come with the unit? Thanks!

It came this way.in Canada

Can anyone tell me mine always starts out doing well but ends up stop feeding seems like it gets stuck

Congratulations

What is the thickest string that this FS38 can handle ? Thanks

Well, I just went out to try it out and my spool isn't like yours. I do have a Stihl FS38 but the head assembly looks different. There are no triangles to line up.

Thanks bud

Are you sure it’s an FS 38 and not an FS 40? That head must be an upgrade, mine has a manual head vs. speed head.

I’ve been doing it the stupid way for about 4 years.

LIFESAVER

I dont get it. On other videos this same head is spooled differently. On other vids the line goes straight through two holes and then wind it up. On this vid the line doesnt go through both.

FREAKIN' THANK YOU

Bru... Mind blown.

When did Johnny Depp start trimming lawns?

Is this the Walmart version of Jonny Depp lmao 🤣

Mine doesn’t have a Spring

Fucking Thankyou 😅

Also clean your trimmer I’m guessing your in the middle of trimming so not hating

They made some FS 38 trimmers entirely different. This will not work on all of them. Doesn't even come close to describing mine. *sigh*.

I'm really sorry this didn’t work for you, My apologies.

This seriously shits me. I get about 30 seconds out of my line before it disappears into the spool requiring me to do it again. WTF am I doing wrong?
