Warning! The N512929 guard does not fit the DCST972X1, which comes with the DW0AS9ST trimmer attachment. The mounting attachment point is totally different. According to the manual, the proper upgrade guard for this trimmer is part number N905733.
Good video, i too have bought the same bump stop head that you have, only as a spare, the original cord that comes with the strimmer for me is the main problem, i changed the cord & it works o.k, definitely needs a bigger guard, ive also made a cover for the motor, made out of a metal tea strainer to keep all the grass cuttings off of the motor.....
Really helpful video. Was having same problem with the line constantly jamming, followed your recommendations and was back in business in less than 5 minutes. Works great now. Thanks!
Thank you, i will definitely try and hit you back. I was getting frustrated with the tangling so I got a the thicker line and it has been working better. I will make the changes and try both line sizes.
We run .095" Husqvarna line (round) which works great. With all the trimming we have to do we go for the big spools like these amzn.to/3RIVzZF The hex-lines don't seem to last quite as long as the round ones IMHO.
@@CascadesHomestead This morning I received both parts from Amazon, put them together, and weed whacked away. Works like a charm, even with the .095 line. Thank you for the video, I was getting upset at the continuous snapping of the line! Question: have you tried the after-market battery for the 60V? Thinking of trying one, just as a backup!
Hi Paola, I have tried two different types of cheap Chinese aftermarket batteries (both 9 Ah), they didn't last very long and one died within a few months. So... I probably won't buy aftermarket batteries again. One more thing: do NOT buy the DCB615 15Ah battery - it is too big to fit :( The DCB609 9Ah fits just fine.
excellent - thanks for this info. I freaking hate the OEM string head and yes...the OEM guard is a joke as well. I'm wearing most of the trimming shrapnel after each use. It's a real frustration with this model.

Thanks for the video! I got the replacement guard before the trimmer came in. Great job showing how to do it! I have the T35 head coming now.
Thanks Mike!!

I love the tea strainer motor cover idea - that's awesome!! Will have to try that!
@Seattle Retro Guy Yeh shame I can't send a picture of it.....
