How To Refill a Spool on Stihl FSA 57 String Trimmer - AutoCut C 3-2 Linehead

A quick and easy demo for how to add new line to restring your Stihl FSA57 trimmer. Don’t buy a refill cartridge because you can buy string in bulk and refill the spool yourself for much less money.

[@Ladyscotia]

Best video ever. I am a smart lady used to doing things by myself. My man has rethreaded this in the past and whatever he did was really complicated. You video had me back to weed wacking in less than 5 minutes. I kept the little plastic piece (the item that was causing me most of my grief} but it works perfectly without it. Still feeds extra line by taping on the ground. I am a happy, and still independent, gal.

[@captainadk2049]

Proud of you! You can do anything. You can use the white plastic piece as a Stihl inspired cookie cutter!

[@davidgarcia-hq3el]

Cookie cutter. Lol’s

[@neilallen940]

Just brilliant, I really don't understand why Stihl don't put this in the instructions! Thank you so much!

[@captainadk2049]

Probably the upsell to but the 3-packs!

[@chdjhns]

They do it so you will go out and buy the new heads

[@chdjhns]

Still probably does not want you to know this they want you to go out and buy a new head

[@emmaslow]

Thank you for saving my sanity! I worked out how to do this last year somehow but this spring I couldn't recall any of it 🤦‍♀️ 🤣

[@jabaricribbs5748]

Dear Stihl: Pay this man some $$$ legit best how to video I’ve seen on YTube 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@captainadk2049]

I like $$$. I like $$$$$$$ even more. hahahaha. Thanks Mr. Cribbs!

[@rternowski]

Man, I've been taking the spool off and trying to wind it. No wonder I've been having so many problems! The instructions are in pictures and doesn't explain it too well. Thanks!

[@susanfoster1916]

This video is SO helpful! I was so frustrated that a Stihl product did not have an easy way to restring the spool. The instruction book does not even address this,as they want you to purchase new spools. But, the new spools get jammed right away so that is no solution. Both my husband and I went to the Stihl dealer and didn't find the help we needed to restring. This video showed how SIMPLE it is - and the tip to get rid of the plastic spool covering is great! I cut them off, and now everything is working beautifully! The Stihl trimmer is otherwise very good - and the battery lasts a very long time. We have two batteries, but one really goes a long way. THANK YOU! This video made my day! :)

[@captainadk2049]

Yep two batteries is the secret to a happy life. Although my trimmer doesn't use much battery. I usually keep the second battery in my Stihl leaf blower so it's ready after all the weeds and grass are trimmed.

[@ruthwatters3840]

This is my go to video each time I run out of string. It is the clearest explanation and so simple……takes the stress and worry out of this job. Thanks so much for taking the time to post and help all of us.

Go Ruth!! Come back any time.... or every time!

[@rebar2506]

I can not THANK YOU ENOUGH ...Im a young widow and this was very simple, clear instructions. Im so glad I found your video. Thank you once again

Hang in there Reba. I hope you and your family are ok. There's always help out there if you need it -- at the Stihl store or right here on silly old KZbin.

[@TheToolmanTim]

I've been using string trimmers all my life and never knew reloading could be done this easily. Awesome video. Thanks for posting it!

[@captainadk2049]

Depends on the trimmer but yeah these are sweet and easy.

[@dwmccary]

Great how to video! You saved me $18 and a bunch of time. The original cartridge got gummed up and stopped releasing gut. I thought it ran out of gut. When I opened the canister I saw it had instead jammed and still had 15 feet of usable gut. I thought I'd have to buy a new cartridge. But these instructions helped me cut off the white plastic 'gut cover' and rethread all that good remaining gut. Works great! Thanks again.

[@captainadk2049]

Go with your gut, that's what my grandpappy always said. Sorry for the late reply, but glad you found this helpful.

[@KimHannon-f2p]

You're a life saver. I had been having issues with the string jamming in the spool. I followed your instructions and took the plastic off and restrung the spool. THANK YOU!!!

Thank you. I just bought one yesterday and the spool jammed shortly into 1st use. After watching your video I fixed it. Much appreciated.

[@stephenhastings4752]

Thank you so much for this video. My cable ran out and I took it back to the local Stihl dealer…..they wound it wrongly and jammed the machine. Thanks to you it works well now. Greetings from Bulgaria.

It's infuriating how easy this was AFTER removing the white plastic part! 😅 Thank you for this video!

[@captainadk2049]

Infuriating followed by infuriating... hahahaha

[@mrtape1400]

Coincidentally I just purchased a brand new FSA 57 and after using it for a few hrs, the factory green string stopped coming out of the spool. I watched your video and YES as you stated,the white band had caused the string to get all tangled up. I removed the white band and threw it away. I then removed all the green string and rethreaded as you demonstrated in your video. To date no more problems, thanks so much.

[@davidpotter9462]

Changing string for the first time. I probably should have gotten the commercial model

[@davidpotter9462]

There is nothing in the manual about this. Thank you so much.

[@captainadk2049]

Yeah... can't figure out why. Maybe different head come with different trimmers. Either way, this is the way.

[@Mbonner73]

This video just saved me a ton of money....... and time. I bought this trimmer for my Papa (he's 92) and showed him how to refill the line, even with how weak his hands are he's able to refill the trimmer with ease. I originally bought him the refills and he could not open it up to put the refills in it, he thinks you and I thank you for posting this. I honestly wish all the Stihl trimmers were this easy to refill?

[@captainadk2049]

What a great story. I have a 92 year old neighbor so I totally get it. You've made Papa proud that he can keep doing things for himself. Well done!

[@sugarbaker6271]

Thank you so much for this easy to understand video! My husband had a stroke and doesn’t have fine motor skills with is right hand anymore and has a hard telling me what to do. We were able to complete this task without ending up with him being frustrated and me in tears, thank you so much.

[@captainadk2049]

Sorry for the late reply, but you're a good wife for taking this on. I hope he's doing better but don't give him back the FSA 57! You're the yard master hahahaha

[@lesliepowell8838]

Where have you been all my life...or as long as I've owned my Stihl?!! My husband bought this for me, knowing I love a neat garden and good garden toys. Thank you, thank you. I knew there had to be a simpler process than pulling the whole machine apart every time I ran out of string. And I got rid of that plastic ring, too. Heading out to trim ! Again, thank you!!

Ha I guess I've been hiding behind my computer Leslie. Glad you're up and running. Keep that garden neat and keep on trimmin'

Genius! The Stihl manual is useless. Once I followed your instructions, everything worked and it was simple. Removing that white band from the spool made the whole loading reliable. Thank you!

[@captainadk2049]

If I ever meet the CEO of Stihl I'm gonna ask him about that white band!!! He'll be like, "Oh that was my idea." Hahahahahaha

[@tonypiccini7814]

Yep this style you can use the arrow method

[@roughcutscanada]

I just spent 1/2 hour loading new string in my wife’s trimmer for the first time. It almost went into the pond 😂 I sure wish I had seen your video before attempting to load the string with no manual. Thank You!

[@captainadk2049]

It's ok, now you're the expert!

[@BarbaraShikles]

Thanks so much for showing how to rethread the trimmer string onto the spool of a Stihl FSA-57 trimmer. Now I won’t have to buy new spools or pay to have mine rethreaded. You showed it so well and made it so easy to do, that even an old woman can rethread hers. Thank you, thank you!

[@captainadk2049]

Yep save your money for stuff that you can't do yourself like pumping the septic tank or flying a jet to Jamaica.

[@mtnboy1954]

Worked like a charm! I re-strung the spool the other day and it was a disaster when I pulled the trigger on it. She cuts great now so thanks a bunch for such an enlightening video!

[@captainadk2049]

Cool man. It may still jam up a little but way less than if the white ring stayed put.

[@MeganPicard-d1u]

I thought my new trimmer had already run out of string. I was waiting for my local small engine repair guy to show me how but the grass kept growing. I got frustrated and watched your video. Turned out one side had broken off, I pulled it all out, re-threaded it and I'm back to trimming. Thank you for sharing.

[@captainadk2049]

Yeah that happens to me almost every time I do a lot of edging along pavement or concrete. Sometimes you can bump feed your way back to two-sided string, but other times you have to pull it all out like you did.

[@michaelleff326]

Excellent video, thanks for the tips. You're right about discarding that white plastic guard sleeve -- apparently, that's how it comes after factory installation but not needed after first cut (if at all). One point: I'm using thinner string, not as stiff, so it didn't poke straight through the way yours did...but I got the idea, and just threaded through easily before I slipped it back into the trimmer head.

Ha pointless is the proper word! And thanks for the measurement. I just stretch my arms apart twice and cut the string.

[@adamcolbertmusic]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have this exact same trimmer model and it ran out of line just now. The white ring, I think, serves a few purposes... The first is that it has curved "teeth" which correspond to some protruding "walls" on the inside of the hub (by hub I mean the part still attached to the weed eater). HOWEVER this is redundant in terms of keeping it in place because the spool head itself has four "curved teeth" which keep it secured in place with the grey Stihl cap/ring which itself is secured to the hub. And the other purpose the white ring serves, which I believe to be the main purpose, is to deter the customer from respooling it themselves!!! On one side of the spool there are two holes which say 2.0 mm and on the opposite side there are two holes which say 1.6 mm. Next to the holes are thin, protruding "walls" and there are U-turn arrows..... So you just enter the appropriate string into the appropriate hole, wrap it around that wall in a 180° fashion as the arrows show, and then just continue spooling it. I suppose you could respool it by hand and keep the white plastic ring in place, which I will probably attempt to do before taking it off. Thank you again for uploading, this has saved me a lot of time and frustration, not to mention money!

[@captainadk2049]

I see what you’re getting at but I think this method is easier than winding it with the spool hub removed. Glad it helped you!

After struggling with the dang thing, it IS the best part :)

Thank you so much.I was about to make an extra trip to ace hardware so they could show me like an idiot.... You are very good at showing how to do things.... Thank you, buddy.

[@captainadk2049]

I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have showed you this method, but any help is helpful

[@BrainRotVideosAF]

I can't begin to describe how incorrectly I was doing this. Science Bless you, sir.

[@captainadk2049]

I like Science too!

Your vid came up first when I decided I needed some help with this. Thank you very much! That white ring was a bit confusing too! So far works great without it. The only thing that helped me was twisting that knob with a small pipe wrench. I guess my fingers aren’t as tough as yours. 😅

[@craiggriswold8066]

You are the best!! Thank you so much. I was so frustrated...and your video has given me trimming peace! Thank you.

[@captainadk2049]

The only thing better than trimming peace is financial peace!

Thank you sooooooo much: not that I was gonna buy a refil pack but you saved me time in scouring the net for instructions. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

One of the best and most helpful videos out there. Just wanted to send a huge THANK you Sir.

[@captainadk2049]

[@robertfinley9977]

Fabulous video. I just have to figure out where to save it so I can consult it again in the future. Your instructions worked perfectly.

[@captainadk2049]

Thanks Robert! You can just bookmark the page or email/text it to yourself.

Great video. I tried refilling just by using common sense, and it worked but not correctly. This is very simple. Just needed an excellent video to lead me in the write direction.

[@captainadk2049]

Glad it helped!

[@sandrac8151]

Thank you! I was stumped with that white plastic ring! You saved the day but now I have to get back to work. 😂

[@captainadk2049]

Yeah someone's gotta trim!

[@Tjbrinker14]

You are the man! Easiest instructions I’ve ever followed

[@captainadk2049]
