How to Restring Kobalt 40V Trimmer

[@alanwebb6590]

I've been going crazy trying to figure out how to get the top cover for the bump feed over the spool without getting the string feed fouled up. It never occurred to me to put the cover over the spool and install both at the same time. Thanks for helping an ignorant mouth breather through a frustrating process.

I'm glad the video was of help Alan! Thank you for viewing!

I don't understand what the initial cutting process is all about. I cut a length of line, made a loop in the middle, and hooked that into the notch then did the winding as shown... Overall, this is by far THE BEST description of this process I've seen.

[@pattayperformance]

Awesome video THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@dannyarellano86]

Thanks for the video would you or could you recommend a line size to use on the model? Also is there an aftermarket type head that can be put on this weed walker? I hate this spool it waste so much line

[@ELS1SON]

.80

[@ELS1SON]

Oops .08

[@2dogdon]

Thanks. The one instructions takes three hands.

[@brandijonason2983]

Why do you have metal wire distance edge guard on backwards?

[@ELS1SON]

My guess is it will store like that until you need it . then move the guard into the position for use

[@ELS1SON]

Probably the storage position until needed....never thought of it until now.

[@smaggie8]

Thank you!

[@downbntout]

Not much force on the buttons to get the cover off? It's more than I can do with both hands and slot tip screwdrivers

[@downbntout]

And yr vid solved it, I had too much string in there

[@David-ll8bt]

I have a 40 Volt Kobalt I bought in 03 or 04 (I've got a good memory but it's short) that doesn't look anything like that. What year is your's? I've never had a problem with it, use it weekly on a 3 acre yard.

[@mackkhalaf1332]

I had the same trimmer that you have. I took it back to Lowe's and got another 40 Volt which is totally different Kobalt. Obviously, the had enough complaints about that type to make them redesign the trimmer! I bought my first on 2017 and the replacement in 2018.

[@jstewie91]

What size string are you using?

[@donaldshelander197]

.065 dia

[@ELS1SON]

Recommended is .08 not .065
