Thank YOU so much for this video! As a single & now widowed woman, I have the task of keeping up the lawn care and this video is most helpful. Bless you.

[@FixItDepot]

A lot of things aren’t difficult to do if you can get a little knowledge from someone willing to share. Thanks for watching and am glad it helped.

[@billjanc.clutterham5836]

One of the best “how to video” I have seen on KZbin. Very clear and the transcript and diagrams was an extra bonus. Thank you

[@ThePWchamp]

I stringed up this exact weed eater wrong about a year ago and haven't touched it since because it was pissing me off. I watched your video, fixed it in like 10 minutes. Thank you!

[@judypowell140]

Thank you so much. I was just so discouraged the weedeater because I couldn’t figure out how to thread it but your video shows it simple and easy and you could put a lot of string on it. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it from Southwest Kansas.

[@FixItDepot]

You are so welcome!

[@michaelsouth1152]

I’m a relatively new lawn dad who’s been stringing this weed eater wrong for a couple of years now. The only way I could have been wronger is by leaving eight feet of string out and swinging the whole thing overhead towards the grass. Thanks for the helpful video!

[@FixItDepot]

Lol. That would have been something to see. Glad it helped.

[@pbondcasa]

Thank you so much! My dad passed away a few years ago and I ended up with his Dewalt trimmer. It just ran out of string the other day and I was going to Amazon to order another supply of it. I was going to get the spools but now I’m just going to order this line and do it myself. I think Dad would be proud. Thank you!

[@FixItDepot]

Sorry about your dad. Glad the video helped.

[@seymourscagnetti1413]

Excellent tutorial. Your tip about placing string line package in a ziplock bag is valid. I just threw out almost 250' of new line that dried out (breaks right off when trying to use it). I now buy a smaller package. Trimmer line from Home Depot; Universal Fit .095 in. x 125 ft. Gear Replacement Line for Gas and Select Cordless String Grass Trimmer/Lawn Edger

[@FixItDepot]

Glad it was helpful! Some people don’t believe the line can dry out. The 3D printer industry learned that it can pretty quickly. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Handy tip if your plastic collar doesn't move remove the head grass tends to get wrapped around and won't allow the collar to move. Great video 👍

I learn best by seeing it done. I took one apart to fix a problem and got into ripping it all down to it's parts. I had a back up on I bought and messed something up on it. With your video and a few other's I'm now a pro at this weed trimmer. This time around you saved me $40. I can use that same money to make about $200 now.

Thanks alot very helpfull. But i did it several times. And it consumes all 10 to 15 feet of string in less than a couple of minutes

[@FixItDepot]

When you bump the head on the ground it moves the head up toward the deflector plate and allows string out. I wonder if something is keeping the head from popping back out. Look for vines or grass that might have the head stuck in the upper position. If you do not find anything wrong there, check out the spring and see if it is installed correctly. Hope that helps.

I wanted something light weight and capable of cutting. This little string trimmer is just that kzbin.infoUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG . The battery will last about half an hour. It cuts through most weeds and grass. I wanted to see what this trimmer could do and tried cutting down some brush. It does okay with light brush but heavy brush, not so much. This is a great tool for trimming around the yard. It's not great for clearing out brush but no one would expect it to be.Out of the box, this trimmer is extremely easy to use. All I had to do was attach the guard and load the battery.

I'm doing exactly this to respool it, but it is often not feeding when tapped. I've had it completely jammed where the string is wrapped over itself internally and I have to open it unwrap it a bit then re-feed it through back out. Any thoughts or tips, I'm finding it almost unusable.

[@FixItDepot]

Try keeping a small amount of tension on the string as you wind it onto the spool. Good luck with it.

[@georgecuster527]

I just destroyed my dewalt weed eater against a brick wall . It felt so good after battling feeding it for the last 4 years . Will never buy one again .
