Spot on. Great majority of the advice I found first was, essentially, "flip the switch and bam there's the light." Uh if I didn't know how to flip a switch, I may not have made it on-line. I could not rethread, weedwhip lacked on-board advice due to accessive tapping. I could see the obstruction was likely due to remmnants of the prior feed, but I didn't know how to simply open up the thing and clear it. Though the instruction appeared upside down to me, it got me back in the yard. So, thanks.

Hi, Helpful video. I'm a bit confused about the string usage. The amount of string installed, how do you know it's time to change the string? Does new string get used with every use? If your string is too short (mine came installed), can I extend the existing string a bit, or do I need to re-string with a new rope?
@AroundTheHome12 жыл бұрын
Hey there. I think the video that I gave you the link to will help you with most of these questions. These trimmers use bump heads, so they only extend the string when you "bump" them. Unless the string gets jammed, when it gets too short, it will fly out. Thanks for asking this question, I reviewed the video and added chapters to it to help out. Hopefully that answers your questions, but if you have more then please ask. And here is our webpage with everything EGO on it. www.aroundthehome.org/ego-power-plus.html

I have the ST1521S and have been having trouble since the 2nd year of using trying to get the string to load when I press the power load button. Been working with Ego support, but there final decision was that the head was worn out and to buy a new one. The entire head will spin, and the line never gets pulled in. I disagree with Ego about the head being worn out, this is only the third time in the three years of using it that I've had to load string into. I've since found a work around since searching this issue on the web, and that is to press the power load button, and at the same time hold in the black ring on the bottom of the head around the bump feed button. This helps the head to stop spinning and then loads the line. This happened to me the second time I tried to load string and I got it to work by disassembling and cleaning the head, the third time loading the string this hasn't help so I have to do the two handed maneuver. I paid alot for this trimmer, and just wish Ego would make it right, any thoughts?

Well done, great personality. Did you put your knife back in your pocket without folding it? You're a beast if you did.
@AroundTheHome111 ай бұрын
Thank you, but I did fold it first. I fold it one handed and put it back in my pocket in one swift move.

Love this video. It was very helpful. I have a question. Once you have put the sting, why did you leave one string "just right" and the other "a little long"? What is the purpose for the longer string? Thank you.☺
@AroundTheHome13 ай бұрын
You know, I have to say that your level of detail is amazing. There is no reason for the longer string. The head normally sits that way so when you pull them out one side is a bit longer then the other. That is all. The longer side will be chopped off as soon as you start using it.

Does the shape of the string make a difference when reloading the string? I have a spool of 0.95 round string left over from my previous trimmer. When I attempt to thread it through the holes I notice a great deal of resistance threading it to the other side. Once it is threaded it doesn’t want to reload the string. It was very easy to load the small amount of string that came with the trimmer but it was the twisted type. So…does the shape make a difference? It seems like it wouldn’t.

It does actually. I didn't think it would at first, but this is confirmed by many of my viewers. You should use a twisted line for best performance with any of the EGO heads.

Great video. I have a echo thats kinda driving me crazy .. Love this load mechanism. Seems ,so ez ...my question is ...how long does the battery last . I do a few customer , a day . And does it come with one battery or two ..
@AroundTheHome1 Жыл бұрын
@Edgardo Matos, if you are using the small 2.5 Ah battery with this trimmer it will get done one yard basically. I edge my front drive, sidewalk, porch, flower bed, side yard, fence line, rear porch, deck, and can do my neighbors front before the battery dies. Here is an old video of mine that shows how far I ran before the battery died. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXfaZ5qbmLSrZtU

I picked one of these up recently and used it the first time the other day....omg....so much easier.... The question that I have though....and not sure this is the right place to ask because I'm looking at your solid green grime there....but I usually wash everything off when I'm done....and I'm worried if water to this can mess anything up (with the battery removed of course)
@AroundTheHome1 Жыл бұрын
This is the right place to ask. I hope that you are not suggesting that I don't take care of my tools because there is grass still on my trimmer. This tool is weather resistant, but not meant to be hosed off. The motor of the tool is in the head, so spraying water in there is bad for the motor and main bearings. You wipe it off with paper towels, and that is why mine looks like that.
