You are very good with directions. Thank You! My husband died and I am elderly but I have to learn how to do all of these things now like weed wacking. I bought the 3 replacement cartridges and I was wondering if you had a video putting those in. I just know I would still do it wrong no matter how simple it might be. Maybe there is a video and I missed it.

Hey Pablo, every time you release trigger the line is extended a quarter inch. The feed is controlled either manually or by releasing trigger. I suggest trigger on until done walking the weeds, otherwise string replacement will be soon. I removed the guard and never take my finger from trigger til entire yard is complete, hope this helps money wise. You know they made it with revenue in mind,

Good music for this would be guns and roses “welcome to the jungle” By brother in law has one like this , he hates it because of the line breaks too fast and too difficult to re-string. He ended up now with a gas one m2500 ( hyper tough) that edgers better and line doesn’t break as fast Since it’s 0.080 vs 0.065 And s bump feed system What ever works for u. I used a corded black and decker for 15 years like that one before moving to gas

This may be late but I use a 100ft 12 gauge grounded extension cord for mine. It can circle the perimeter of my backyard and out the gate. It has lighted ends. Got at Wal Mart on clearance for $60, retail $95. I have tried some lower gauge extension cords (and they are less expensive and will work just fine) but I always feel safer outside with the 12 gauge. As long as it’s specific as says outdoor extension cord it’ll work. Hope that helps a bit

Thank you so much for this video. I was so confused with their unclear directions. What's the purpose of the blue string thingy on the bottom, i think you called it the line feed? I wasn't sure if it needs to come out so I pulled it a bit on both sides and now its longer on both ends. How do I retract it and what is it called. It didn't show the name in the part section on fig. 2 :( thank you again.

what does the 13" mean? Mine says 15". Also, I don't understand people buying a $30 unit to do anything but a small yard which is what we have. We have 2 patches, one on the left and another on the right and a walkway in the middle (deck) and this has been just perfect for the two of us. We don't let the grass get any higher than I don't know 7 inches? So the machine doesn't have to do a hard job. For a bigger job get something powerful like a gas trimmer.

The reason the line keeps "breaking" is because every time you let off the trigger, it auto-feeds more line and cuts the excess. what a waste! buy a new trimmer

All you do is keep the trigger pressed while you go from spot to spot. Only release the trigger to let more line out. Buy a spool of replacement line, and reload it yourself. This is much cheaper than buying pre-loaded spools.

Candice Galvan why wouldn't you have gotten your money back? home depot has a 90 day return policy. Take it back, say you paid cash and lost receipt, find SKU # for them if possible(its faster- if its like mine and his the SKU # is 669-580) and see if you can get credit. but will only get credit if you say you bought it within last 90 days.
