How to replace string trimmer line

[@TD7PMRS]

This guy is the perfect teacher, he goes at a steady pace so everyone will understand, some processes slower than others, and I'm grateful he's doing it slow now I have a full understanding. Impatients is your hell, for not having a heart so everyone can have an opportunity, patience is a virtue TRUST ME.

[@Iscaper]

Great comment!

[@djdimigaming5324]

It’s only one angel. It’s not the “perfect teacher”

[@josephtan2928]

I don't know why this video received so many dislikes from impatient people. This is free advice and you should be grateful for this helpful gentleman sacrificing his time sharing his knowledge. I personally found it very helpful. Thanks for your video!

[@cjweb]

Why am I never this calm and methodical when performing this task? Inspiring. Thank you.

[@the0therjennifer]

Had to restring my mom's Remington trimmer. Your video was perfect - your instructions were clear enough that I could figure it out even with the minor difference. AND whoever strung hers last had done it WRONG, which no one knew so it went the whole season as a gimpy trimmer. Works great now, thanks.

[@EricaCauley]

Thanks a bunch for the demo. I just purchased a Fs 90 and it's the first time I have dealt with the autocut. I normally purchase the cheapo trimmers but I just moved into a new home and wanted something that would last. Very excited about my new purchase!!

[@Donna-i2v]

Thank you for your video. It's been a few years since I have changed my trimmer line and your video was fantastic. Cheers

[@Iscaper]

Glad it helped

[@Iceman2k13]

Thanks so much for this vid. My trimmer line kept getting stuck and I just know that I did something wrong, but I just didn't know how to solve my problem. Thanks to your great tutorial I will trim with less frustration now and more effect!

[@Iscaper]

+iceman2k13 Thanks Iceman, I appreciate the feedback.

[@kjames3117]

thanks a million!!! In the middle of brush cutting and haven't a clue how to reload!!! Saved the day. Thanks from Tammi

[@MarshaCowanHHR]

Thank you! My sweet husband always did this chore for me. He died unexpectedly 2 weeks ago. Strange how partners divvy up duties. However; so grateful I found your video as it was most helpful! Thank you.

[@Iscaper]

+Marsha Cowan So sorry for your loss. I'm glad the video was helpful.

[@guyhamiltonyt]

I appreciated the slow pace of the video it made it alot easier to unerstand, thank you

[@Nicolee7764]

You're very good at teaching & giving instructions. Thank you!

[@98019vtaylor]

Works like a charm now. It stopped once and I figured, either the wires got jammed or I had them in the wrong holes so redid it and success! Thank you!

[@StephenCunningham1]

your suppose to hook each end of the string in the notches on the spool. then u lock the spool with the notches right next to it.your making a way harder then you have to. great video.

[@leonaambul]

Wow, you prevented me from taking the trimmer all the way to Home Depot to get help.....thank you!!!!

[@Iscaper]

+Leona Ambuldeniya Great, I'm glad the video was helpful.

[@Iscaper]

My son is applying for college in Norway, I hope he gets in. You live in a beautiful country.

[@user-xf6ql5zd6x]

Great vid mate! Step by step easy instructions. THE best how to vid I've seen. Great effort!

[@Iscaper]

+dave lewis Thanks Dave.

[@D.J.F.8891]

Thank you so much for this. It helped so much that I replaced my line first try.

[@Iscaper]

Glad it helped!

[@petergrossenbacher3946]

Txs. Very helpful. I also appreciated you speakly so slowly. Helped to follow!

[@Iscaper]

Thanks Peter for watching.

[@tristramshandy453]

Thank you for putting this up and for doing it at a pace that let me follow you. I have a green works trimmer and cold not find anywhere a how to video on how to replace the line. You save me a ton of trouble (my line ran out in the middle of landscaping my yard on a hot day).

[@Iscaper]

Thanks, I appreciate the comments.

[@ShelleyAtkinson64]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I just bought a worx nitro string trimmer because I want to be able to put a brush cutter blade on it. Hate using gas ones and trying to get them started. While I was trying to figure out how to get the trimmer string off of the shaft I ended up winding the string to the Head. There are no instructions anywhere on how to fix that issue. I searched for days on Google and KZbin for a video but all I could find was how to change the string head on their original model. Your string trimmer was pretty similar and I knew that tab area you were using must have a purpose on my trimmer but didn't know what it was until your video. I'm trying to find a blade kit to work so I can attach a non-worx blade and while I was waiting I couldn't even use the trimmer till I could figure out how to get the string out. So thank you again very much appreciated!

[@Gardureth]

iScaper1 Awesome video, i got a secondhand trimmer which had no line. I have no clue how to put on a line and i want do do it safely. your video made sure a line is installed and working, im very gratefull! and subscribed!

[@Iscaper]

Thanks for watching and for subscribing!

[@leqnard.]

Thanks Mate! Works for Kawasaki KBL23A too. Helped so much better than any Instruction Manual

[@12thDecember]

Thank you so much! I ran out of line on my Greenworks dual-string trimmer and couldn't find the manual. I got it strung and it works like a charm.

[@Iscaper]

G'day mate. Never thought one of my videos would help someone get a promise, thanks for watching and good luck.

[@Elle_Gee]

Thank you for this. Simple enough to follow without having many "fix it" skills!

[@Iscaper]

Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback.

[@jeffthewhiff]

My Craftsman trimmer doesn't have a knob on the bottom to advance the trimmer line and unfortunately, the line has to be advanced by-hand. If I had known this before purchasing the trimmer, I would not have purchased this trimmer. Very good video!

[@Iscaper]

Good information, thanks for posting.

[@melvis2017]

Thanks for the update and the way you explain things thanks once again for the efforts and for sharing this with us appreciation 🇩🇰👍🙏

[@Iscaper]

My pleasure!

[@winstonclarke9221]

Thanks for Answering my Question. About The Fs85 Trimmer line.

[@Iscaper]

Any time!

[@OlegVagin]

Я имею такой же триммер и использую черную леску Stihl диаметром 3,3 мм , она самая лучшая из всех , что я пробовал . Конец лески я подтачиваю , что бы установить в катушку .

[@stevelawrence6588]

Very Good Tutorial.Solved my challenge. Thank You. All good.

[@hasanbashir8076]

Cheers man for sharing this vid my mum was so happy lol

[@Kim-st3xg]

Great info. Makes things easier.

[@Iscaper]

Thanks!

[@SupTeach1]

Helpful. Main thing I found helpful was to wind in the direction of the arrow. Thank you.

[@winstonclarke9221]

It was very nice of you, to take your time and explained this video, so that all viewers will understand, it,👍. what size of line does the Fs85 use.

[@Iscaper]

Thanks Winston for watching. The FS85 uses 0.095 - 0.105 inch trimmer line.

[@frankminton82]

Good info, great vide brother thank you 👍🏼🇺🇸

[@Iscaper]

You're welcome!

[@miguelgmusic]

Thanks for sharing. Very well presented and very helpful information.

[@Iscaper]

Thanks Miguel for commenting.

[@Iscaper]

You should be able to go to the owner's manual of your trimmers and find the recommended line size there. On my Stihl FS80 trimmer I went to the owner's manual section on replacing the Nylon line and it recommended 0.095" (2.4mm) line for my trimmer.

[@dmckendry03qub]

Thank you. A very helpful reminder. 😊

[@azawee90]

Thank you Sir! you saved me so much time trying to figure out how to do this by myself.. Much appreciated.

[@waveneyadrianasukul1481]

thank you for your well explained procedures

[@Iscaper]

From what I understand of auto feed string trimmers you don't have to bump them to advance the line, the trimmer does it automatically with centrifugal force. I've never had an auto feed trimmer so I don't know how well this feature works. Maybe after you use yours you could report back and let us know how well the auto feed feature works.

[@himmar1]

i have a bump & go stiga strimmer and this videeo helped me. ta

[@dandersoable]

Thank you for this video! You have helped me to learn how to do this!

[@Iscaper]

Thanks for the feedback.

Excellent video , thanks for the help !!!!

[@Iscaper]

Thanks, I'm glad the video was helpful.

[@WillsLawnService]

Nice video! I can reload one of those in about 30 seconds (I have to reload just about every day because I burn through it so fast edging.) I use 2 arm lengths for each side.

[@Iscaper]

Impressive, I guess practice makes perfect.

[@AndrewWeng]

Got this done with your help

[@davidmcmillan5693]

Thanks mate, very useful!

[@Iscaper]

+David McMillan Thanks David for watching.

[@Iscaper]

Not sure. What make is your string trimmer and do you have the owner's manual? It should say in the manual how to replace the string.

[@GordonSou]

Excellent video. Thanks a lot!

[@vlakeks9784]

2021 still need this video tnx

[@Iscaper]

Thanks for watching.

[@mike311271]

very informative, thankyou brill video

[@Iscaper]

Thanks for watching.

[@TheBeeb0]

Thank you, it's actually my daughter's channel she just let's me use it. :)

[@Iscaper]

3.3 mm coverts to .130" which is thicker than the standard size line you get from Stihl. Does it still feed out of the trimmer head ok?

[@Iscaper]

Stihl makes awesome trimmers and blowers, thanks for watching.

[@geraldhoskins2021]

Yes they do i own a stihl trimmer myself its a beast.

[@sevdalink6676]

Great video, thanks. I cannot see on your trimmer the knife for shortening too long line, or am I wrong?

[@Iscaper]

There is a knife on the shield that cuts the line the correct length.

[@Iscaper]

Wow, from Russia! Thanks for watching.

[@wirelessg2010]

THANKS so much! This was helpful for me today!

[@kenhabbes10]

Thanks ! Going out to try now. From Norway :)

[@texasbelliott]

Very helpful, thank you.

[@Iscaper]

Thanks for watching.

[@kendalln7004]

hey I have a dual string weed trimmer but it doesn't have the divider piece in the spool for both strings to go through and keep them apart and it has one area to wind it up do I use two separate strings or use just one string to restring it up?

[@Iscaper]

Thanks, what a great channel name GreatDancingWolf.

[@GRANDMASTER-d1b]

Thank you for helping me

[@Iscaper]

You're welcome!

[@ccranch1569]

What are the metal clip things called? the ones you put the strings in to hold it.

[@lornescott-wilson6144]

Thanks, nice and easy to follow

[@diorama_dad]

As a newbie to having my own lawn and owning my first string trimmer this really helped! One question: mine has an "auto advance" feature. Do you have any idea how this works or what it means? It says "no bumping" on the box but I have no idea what that means.

[@ceepey]

thank you for sharing this video. This helps me a lot. Can you help me how to replace the blades. I ran out of wires and I got only one blade and I am in the middle of landscaping. Blades are better suitable for my purpose than wires.

[@Iscaper]

You have to unthread and remove the trimmer head from the shaft then install the brush blade with the adapter plate and washers.

[@ceepey]

thank you very much ... this works

[@sergiomata4166]

Thank you so much, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

[@davidbayley672]

Thanks very much. Excellent

[@robertparsons9682]

Great video, is that the triangular shaped line?

[@ghw7192]

Whatever would we do without tailgates for work benches? LOL!! Good vid--wish I could find one like it for my Robin trimmer.

[@Iscaper]

ghw7192 I agree, Ford should advertise that tailgates make great workbenches.

[@gasperajdnik5627]

Thank you 👍🤠

[@Iscaper]

Thanks.

[@gasperajdnik5627]

No problem 🤝

[@Bonsall1996]

What size trimmer line do you recommend for a stihl km100r and a ryobi rbc30set pro cut two head

[@naomijo3661]

Thanks for the video.

[@Iscaper]

[@surinderminhas4376]

Hello to Mississippi. Thanks for commenting.

[@arturo468]

The duration of this clip could easily have been reduced by about 70%.

[@Iscaper]

Agree, I should have made the video shorter.

[@AcquisitionCapitalist]

Why so sensitive? If someone can't take polite constructive criticism so as to improve the next time, then the personality fault is their own. I see no malicious intent in Roy's comment.
