Is that one of those line up the eye re stringer or do you have to take off the head and re string it?. I would also like to know is this how you would put on a new spool that you don't to take off the head to re string. .. thanks and thanks for the video.
I have a 20 volt 13" trimmer. You solved my problem. On mine a spindle comes out of the final guard. I had open up the transmission and still could not figure it out.. Put it back together and used the torx screw driver in the slot the you pointed out and a slot on the housing. l then put a crescent wrench on shaft. Bingo-fixed. Thank you for posting this video.
This is clearly a design flaw and let us hope it gets redesigned. I have been removing any jams but now I will go a little deeper. Thanks we will not be burning out our motors.
i had problems with the string advancing from the beginning with my 20 volt 920 model . it was even worse after i replaced the stock dewalt string with husquvarna line . bought a husquvarna T35 head to replace the stock dewalt head (direct fit , no adapter needed) and everything is beautiful now .
let me just say…i was contemplating getting an electric week wacker but i’m glad i didn’t….The dewalt 60 v survives again and huge thanks to you for posting this video…i have soo many issues with this dewalt …heck the battery alone doesn’t hold the charge long enough cause i use battery for the 60 v blower….anyway thanks
Yeah, I have projects like that. I think, "Why didn't I just do it sooner?" It's PTSD from other projects that should have taken 20 seconds but took a week, lol.
Yes it's unfortunate. Also, should mention that you need to keep the air inlets on the weed eater cleaned out because it can overheat and burn out the motor.
Yes - their instruction sheet is useless, filled with ridiculous info - in about 6 languages, yet! And could you please use a LARGER piece of paper for those notes?? Both my husband and I thought we had gone full stupid because we could’t understand the overly involved, minusculy printed instruction sheet for rewinding the cord and removing the head. Husqvarna T35 to the rescue!!💕
If you tightened it so much that you stripped the nut then yes, I suppose it would, but if you mean under tightening, then I believe the rotation of the weed eater tightens the head as it spins.
Thanks for the info. You helped me fix my weed whacker with your video.

Yeah, 1:55 in the video briefly covers that. Line up the arrows and put the string through and then begin winding. About 12' of string is right.

Glad the video helped you figure it out!

Yeah, I suppose it might be difficult to keep debris from inbetween a stationary surface and a rotating one, but a tighter clearance would help.
the 'key' hole I had found, I just needed to know clock wise after that. Thank you for confirming which way to remove the trimmer head!
Just solved a few days of annoyance. Thanks!!!
Great to hear!
You're on the wrong end of the trimmer. Check the battery wire connectors on the other end, I found the white one came apart.

Thanks for the tip. I think a lot of stringer heads are interchangeable, but it's nice to know specific models that fit together.
Nothing but love to you for this video sir

Yeah, I go through a 12ah, two 9ah and four 6ah batteries to weed eat my 1 acre yard. Gas is still the OPE king in most scenarios.
Ahhh man this.... was such an easy fix thanks to your video. Thank you again just subscribed also
Great! Bruce to the point! Easy fix! Thank you!
Brief and to the point, not Bruce😂
Thanks. It took 20 seconds to fix but 2 months to look it up on TH-cam 😂

Wow, thanks so much. The user manual has useless info such as how to charge the battery...but nothing on maintenance.

does it have a plastic cap over the top part of it? the black plastic housing?
You depress the tabs to pop the face of the cap off. But to remove the head you don't need to do that.
Amazing short video!!
A common problem is it stopps feeding. This is usually casued by junk wrapped up just like he showed.
👍That's why I took mine apart.
Any chance this could come off if u over tightened it?
If you tightened it so much that you stripped the nut then yes, I suppose it would, but if you mean under tightening, then I believe the rotation of the weed eater tightens the head as it spins.
Excellent video 👍
