    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!!!!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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

    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.

    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 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!
