I’ve been struggling with this all these years 🙄.Thanks for the explanation 👍.

[@murraycowling931]

I have been pulling my hair out trying to figure out how this works! Thanks mate

[@KRColson]

Mother, Father! I never knew that! Man, thanks for showing this. I was one of those boneheads that manually wound up the line and then fumbled about pushing it through the holes and at the same time replacing the head and screwing it down. Duh! Thanks again! Cheers.

[@bartholdludger7718]

Great video! Thanks because i’ve been wrecking my brain trying to figure how to put it back together.

[@gh4121-b5n]

I’m no longer hitting my head against the wall. Thnx for this video👍👍

[@alexandercampobasso8664]

Thanks man. You should keep these types of videos going. It suits you.. 👌

[@visalusanson]

Agreed.. he’s natural..as the vib is chill and confident🎯

[@airedaleabbey]

wow - thank you mr timberr teck - i am the description of all the others who have commented prior - but with over thirty years of landscape maint experience - I can usually figure out how to add line to weedeater heads - this one gave me several hissy fits 🤬🤣- thank you again for making the time to educate so many of us🍻

[@davidharris3194]

Awesome!!!! And you can also feed a single 12 foot length all the way through the center of the spool and then follow your steps... I used to hate restringing, but now it's just a few minutes and I''m off.... Thank You!!!!

[@ryandecker5487]

Can also cut 12 feet and feed it all the way through when the arrows are lined up then pull until even sides then twist it until 4 inches left

[@MACD4242]

Exactly. Way easier than having 2 strings

[@user-ze6bh9is3m]

This is so much easier than trying to wrap the line. So glad I found this video. Worked perfectly!! Thank You !!

[@thereesh8721]

Was at a couple vids before this one. Thought my spool was broken. After your vid I got spooled up and working in under 5 min. I was trying to spool it manually like the other vids. So simple this way. Big thanks!

[@philoconnell7706]

I was getting ready to burn the bloody thing!! Thank you job done mate. Love from Australia 🇦🇺

[@timberrrteck]

Thanks Mate !!

[@Duke4ever188]

I love It when a tutorial is simple and down to the point 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@tessswain373]

Amazing we enjoyed watching the man as well as learning the best method for respooling the line. You look a bit like Jonny Dep and Leonardo Di Caprio with your own landscaper style twist 😮❤🎉

[@westscotian]

Thank you so much for the clear explanations and detailed video explaining what has been such a challenge previously. My FS38 is ready for action and all thanks to you! Searching now if you did a chain saw sharpening video or two…. Keep it up, you rock!

[@timberrrteck]

Thank you !! I can make one of those too :) NP

[@pierreschein840]

The best explanation ever !!! Thku from Belgium !!!!

[@ShanePatelakis]

thanks dude...the way u showed how to do it makes it so less frustrating thanks

[@julianking4793]

Brilliant and to the point. A great explanation from Canada's answer to Johhny Depp. Many thanx.

[@timberrrteck]

Hahaha, heard that my whole life ... thanks for watching

[@WadjilaCherokeeX]

That is exactly what I heard as well

[@jorgetoro2990]

Great video, finally I can do this without losing my mind, thanks

[@Aretz19]

Watched this video last year to learn how to put more line on. Watching it again this year because I'm terrible at learning. Looking forward to being back again next year! Thanks a ton!

[@emilloffler1216]

Thank you brother man, I bought an FS 38 head today and was befuddled how to load the line, and this shows me clearly how. I'm going to machine the shaft of my Stihl FE 55 TO suit it, because I cannot find any new trimmer heads for it. And this FE 38 head is much easier and quicker to load the cutting line than the original FE 55 one.

[@cassschiffer2734]

Yes, most clear video yet. Others I was like I can't even see what you are doing. So easy now. Thank you

[@WadjilaCherokeeX]

Thanks just bought one today & your video is easy to follow so my bump feed should work with your easy to follow instructions

[@loveniacannon3302]

It costs a little more to have a pre-spooled line, but when you're in the middle of a trimming job kzbin.infoUgkx429xwEjNPnwzQohFrURRyKF51YfOD_Du , it is so nice to just pop out the old one and pop in a new one. Love Black & Decker tools. Especially the 20-volt battery operated ones. And, as usual, it came on time. Thanks Amazon!

[@infamousftfw]

Just wanted to say thank you! I forget almost every year. I only have to weed whack 3-4 times a year. Thanks again! Also little tip I was told by another guy was, get your length you need (12 feet 15 feet etc.) Cut it a single length then feed it into both sides. Then go from there and when you get to the end you make your final cut and It should be even!

[@timberrrteck]

Thank you

[@Robochop-vz3qm]

Just bought the Fs38 and the guy showed me in the store how to re thread, but I needed a refresher. Thanks 👍

[@brandon.turner]

Dude you just saved me so much time haha. Awesome video dude!! Thanks

[@timberrrteck]

glad it helped, thanks for watching :)

[@Dibble07]

Brilliant, just got one of these second hand and from what I was used to on other cheaper brands this is chalk and cheese, don’t even know what the other methods were you were taking about but this is gold

[@necoslicer]

Thanks a lot, just bought this new stihl trimmer and the booklet didn't explain how to respool, Thank You !

[@danieljoy7504]

This is great. My issue after purchasing a brand new one on Friday. Is getting the thing to feed more line out. I'll put new line in before the next use and see if i do it like this it feeds out better.

[@RustingVagina]

I have the exact same problem, did u find a fix by any chance?

[@iam_flynn1611]

friggin well done bud! More importantly, Well done and TO THE POINT!!

[@beaner2907]

I have exactly the same weed eater with the same head and this works great. However, me and bump feed don't seem to be on the same wave length so every time it's out of string I have to take it all apart and do this method all over again. It's a love/hate relationship that's really leaning more to the hate side.

[@timberrrteck]

When you bump it , try to do it on a hard surface at full throttle 😊

[@SM-im8lt]

Bro I feel like the only way I can repay you is with a damn blowie 😂. You just saved me so much hassle… thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@timberrrteck]

Hahajaha a subscribe is just fine my friend , glad it helped.

[@beautifulnewzealandcom]

I bought this head because of your video - thanks mate for your clear instructions cheers Darren

[@mikeclarke196]

Helpful, saved me some frustration. Thanks mate!

[@Neveragainnnn]

FINALLY!!!! Now I gotta go out and dig it outta the trash….CHEERS MATE!

[@calvinepp3779]

That’s friggin awsome thanks man.

[@brianbarnes835]

I’m surely glad I found this video because I was doing it a harder way after watching other videos

[@greggkathy1892]

I have done this wrong all my life. I feel like I just got the cure to cancer!! Thank you sir!!

[@lukecarnell2099]

Thankyou soooo much this video is exactly what you need... short to the point and shows you exactly how to get it done ✔️

[@soundbeings1]

Who knew a full faced Johnny Depp was doing youtube trimmer info mercials!!! Thanks my friend - from NS Canada!!

[@timberrrteck]

Hahaha thanks

[@kajola]

This was the best video today., and you should know that today I watched reviews for the new mission impossible. Thanks from Sweden

[@chadlugz1510]

Thanks man. I was doing it totally wrong. 👍🏻

[@coma3550]

You're a Legend bud, Cheers.

[@m.a.s.2774]

In 4min 31 sec you just confirmed to me something that I've been doing the hard way (wrong) for 18 years. 😬

[@ngfarmer]

thanks buddy! you saved me ages trying to figure out how to do this :)

[@dwayneharris3874]

Thanks for the tutorial. It clarified a few things for me. I like your way of measuring 6 feet. We used that at a lumber mill I worked at in the early '70s. I measure my string trimmer line that way still.

[@benjaminlane3004]

Wow. Majorly helpful dude, thanks

[@joegallo8383]

SORRY TIMBERRR, Please update this video. The whole idea of this head is simplicity. You DO NOT have to take the head off or apart to recline it, You DO NOT have to cut the line in half (you feed the line (12-15 feet, 2mm or .080” or you can use 2.4mm or .095” but of course shorter) RIGHT THROUGH the HEAD (with the arrows lined up) till it comes out the other side then pull it until equal lengths then wind according to the arrows on the head

[@johnsin3843]

OK, I am going to try this next time I load. I will get back to you. I am back, unfortunately this does not work with tap feed but perhaps after inserting the line into the holes in the spool it may be easier to load

[@zzoikk74]

This works for a quick spool, but you are supposed to hand wind the line. When you take the thing apart, you can see the arrows where to put the line in and then you hand spool it around each side it’s a lot faster and you can spool a lot more line. This is how we did it as professional landscapers. With the exact same model, there is a lot of confusion over this. Just go to your local sthil dealer and speak to them about it.

[@davedeslauriers2889]

Thanks, great video and help!

[@dylanwilson3057]

Thank you sir! I was about to throw my trimmer off a bridge.

[@jacobgale2518]

just want to let you know how you helped me so much thank you

[@proglitchgamer1879]

[@StezNation]

Thank you. This helped alot and actually made sense

[@sanchochulo]

Just wanted to say thank you 🙏🏾 Never had anyone teach me how to do this growing up. Now I’ll be able to teach my kids how to do this 💯 #vjpollito

[@glenrichards7175]

Great video, the owners manual doesn't show this, which is strange, thanks

[@krzysztofkozowski931]

Thank's!!!! Great job!!!👍👍👍

[@Randy-ul5hy]

Great video! The manual is useless because there are 4 different versions of the cassette head for the FS-38 model, and it does not specify which one you have. Thanks!

[@jesusalvarado779]

Thank you very much bro work really good

[@grititandgetit]

Great video thank you

[@30pvfd]

Dam too easy thanks for video 👍

[@arcpuffin]

Would’ve been nice if you showed how you unscrewed the unit. That was the only thing you did off camera and the ONLY thing I needed to know. Mine will not screw off

[@vanillaquicksand8025]

Thank you for explaining the size inch of line needed🤦🏻‍♀️

[@s.akinribido5894]

Oh Jeez 😂. Can’t believe is that easy

[@ChrisC-c3r]

i tried to restring my trimmer the way u did but i only can get one string on the one side

[@theronneal]

Damn man I've been looking like crazy, thank you💯 I have a 40 trimmer

[@jamesluke9969]

How easy is that! Thank you!

[@visalusanson]

Who knew 💡Thanks 🎯

[@bukoovibess.2693]

Love the video! Still having trouble bumping head on a hard surface. I usually lift it up when it idles an just twist the head for more string then put it back down. Any tutorials on how to bump its head an extend line trimmer wire?

[@mariagibbs-irelan8788]

That is a different head than mine came with. Mine has the standard black one . I did find a hack to make it quick. I miss my ez feed you run one 10-12' string all the way through pull the ends together stop . And wind em up

[@emmanuelzapata8]

Congratulations

[@SolidNate99]

Can someone tell me how to feed it more wire as you're trimming? Does this happen automatically? I know on my honda trimmer, I would kinda smack the bottom of the head (the circular piece) against the pavement or grass kinda lightly and then more line would come out.

[@TheMaxy4u]

Same way in this one

[@danb5058]

Thanks bud
