Thank you, sir! It’s ridiculous that this EGO product isn’t labeled clearly so we can do this ourselves, but you saved the day! I also didn’t have the strength to push those tabs in, so I used a screw driver and pulled with the other hand. EGO, if you’re listening, please send your designers back to the drawing board!

Try a flathead screwdriver and just wiggle it in until it slides past the tab. Then do the other tab. That should work. I think there are some other comments where people explain how they used a screwdriver. And yes, it is difficult sometimes with just one's fingers.

Hmmm. That's odd. Does your trimmer have a green button on the shaft but near the head? If so, you've got a model that automatically loads the string after you feed it thru. You attach the battery and push that button and the string winds itself.

Try using a flat-head screwdriver to press in each tab, and use the screwdriver to gently pry the spool down as the screwdriver is I'm each tab slot.

@FixEverythingYourself3 жыл бұрын
The tabs won't budge? I found that it attaches pretty tightly so you may have to try to twist the spool head a little (back and forth) at the same time you're squeezing the tabs. In that case, having a helper would be good so that one person can twist it while the other is squeezing the tabs.

Probably have some gunk or debris in there causing it to be a little tight. Should just be able to pull hard on the head but you might try using a screwdriver to push the same tabs in while also prying slightly on the tab hole to get it off.
@gordonhesse72003 жыл бұрын
The head on mine will not advance the string no matter how hard a bump it on the ground. I have to take it apart and re-string it every time. Is the head worn out? Every thing looks fine inside. When I look on Amazon for a replacement ST1500SF head, the reviews are mixed. Some say the new head fixed the problem, others say it doesn't fit.
@FixEverythingYourself2 жыл бұрын
Others have had the same problem but I never have. Mine works great every time. Perhaps using a different string would make a difference - different thickness and/or style (e.g., braided vs. round). I'd try that before replacing the head.

I answered another comment of yours. Not sure if it answered your question because I see this one, too. Is string getting stuck inside and won't release as you use it? If so, it's most likely the kind of string you're using. There's a link in the Description of the video to EGO brand string that won't get stuck. If you have a different question, let me know.
@AaronBrand2 жыл бұрын
@@FixEverythingYourself Thanks. I have the “rapid reload” model without the removable spool (maybe it’s an older model?). It’s working. I had to feed half the 16’ of line through and twist to wind like you show. It doesn’t have markings for alignment, so I just loaded, twisted, and started working again. It’s a lot easier than the older style (in which you wind the line onto the spool before loading it into the machine). Good stuff.
