Just bought one of these blades. The guy in the shop showed me how to remove the string device and install this attachment but after a few days, I forgot details. Should have done it right away. I'm very grateful for your excellent, straightforward tutorial. Thank you from Canada!
That was awesome, Brandon. Thank you very much. I bought everything at the same time only to find out there are no good directions that comes with either the machine nor the blade to put this on. They leave you guessing as to which way the blade goes. You made it all very easy. Again, thank you very much.
Just bought a old stihl fs61R at a garage sale for 20 bucks, wasnt running, has been sitting for 10 years, threw some gas in it fired first pull and fired up the 2nd. Just bought a brush blade for it, very good instructional video since I didnt know what the hell I was doing.
Exactly what I needed to see. Dad left me with a few stihl and echo trimmers and I have a box of mixed parts I’m trying to make sense of before I end up going out and buying more stuff.
Thank you! I've been trying to figure out how to do this by reading the instruction book. THERE'S an hour of my life I'll never get back! Total gibberish. I wish I'd searched for this video a lot sooner!
You and me both. The ‘manual’ from Stihl with the blade I purchased has 29 languages in it telling the user not to put there finger in a moving object.... nothing about installation.
Thank you for your awesome help! It’s funny… you said to turn clockwise and you’re right, it is clockwise, but it looked counterclockwise in the video. Anyway, thanks. Big help!
great video. thank you for taking the time to make it. amazing to me stihl doesn’t indicate which direction to mount the blade in either better blade marking or pkg direction. your video was direct to the point and clearly illustrated. great job!!
I want you to know i revisit this video a couple times a year because i can never remember how this goes. My brain locks up and i pull up this video to get a quick refresher. Everytime
Flip the gear box/head upside down and the blade will stay on the arbor while you tighten the bolt. Don't worry about your locking tool falling out, the hole is magnetic.
easier to turn it over - only need to hold the lock device in the hole, but the blade is easily centered - the other parts hold in place while you tighten the nut. less fighting = easier installation.
Maybe because of the video, but what you're saying is clockwise to tighten appears to be turning counter-clockwise. Not a problem, just an observation. Also, I found your helpful instructional video searching on the Stihl FS 45 trimmer. Is this that, or, will the attachment fit on any Stihl trimmer?
The big silver looking cup on the bottom of the blade prevents you from cutting brush close to the ground and will hang you up. Very frustrating!! Echo brand is a lot better for cutting brush close to the ground...Your better off using the Stihl as a weed eater and Echo for saw blades if you need to use saw blades
I locked mine. The nut just spins its not coming off. The bolt is staying still, the nut just turns its not coming off. What did I strip it? Maybe it already was? What do I do?
If that "little Adaptor blade" does not fall out when you take the head off, you will have to buy one, I did and it was $27.00 dollars (local) . P.S. you will have a hard time finding it on the internet.
Thank you for the refresher. It’s been so long since I put the brush blade on that I didn’t even know where to start. You are a lifesaver

Thank you very much for this video. Straight to the point without dragging the video out. This helped me alot. Cheers from Australia
Thanks. The stihl instructions were basically garbage. Didnt even know the reverse threads. Saved me a lot of frustration. Much appreciated!
Great video! Short and to-the-point. This was my first time installing a brush blade and with your video, it couldn't have been easier. Thank you sir.
Holy cow! that’s how you properly explain things,Bravo sir 👏👊
Thanks Brandon… between the manual and the dealer… your video was WAY MORE HELP!!!!
Thank you, your instructions were spot on. Got some brush clearing started today. Thanks for pointing out to make sure the blade is centered.
You just save my project. I’m using a STIHL FSKM trimmer you help me figure out how to get all the fittings back in the right spot. Thank you.

Of course it wasn't running. It didn't have any gas in it.
Mines a little more updated. Don’t have a loose washer.
Buddy you was better than manual!
Thank you!
Had it not been for this video I would have missed the store closing today and just been co fused as to why they sold me a defective blade. Thank you

Everytime
THANK YOU VERY MUCH 🤠 You're smarter than my local dealer
Thank you so much Brandy. You made this so clear and helped us out a lot
Thanks. I’ve only done this about 10 times the past 10 years and forget everytime.
Thank you so much. It worked. I was turning the washer wrong the whole time
Thanks Brandon!! Your video was super helpful 👏
Just simple common sense instructions. That really helped me out.
Thank you, Brandon. That was a huge help. I had it all bass-ackwards.
excellent, was able to work on with the advise given and swap blades ...cheers
Very good and thorough directions thankyou
found the 5 seconds i was looking for, thanks!
Thanks for the clear explanation and demonstration. How about something on the best way to file the chisel tooth blades? Stihl hasn't been much help.
OMG I so love you! Like omg my weed eater is awesome now. Thx!!!
Thanks mate , from Australia.
Thank you! I was wondering how a heck you get the head off, since it's just spins
How did people who didn't grow up with this stuff get anything done before these videos? Thanks the help!!
by reading the supplied manuals
@@alknaussprenger1022EXACTLY
They heard thru the grapevine and learned from grandpa
Great Presentation. Very easy to see and follow.
Thank you for your clear instrunctions!
just found a kick to curb stihl weeder...have the blade ..need adapter to put it on
Thank you sooooo much!!! Awesome instructions better than the manual
Thank you ! Very useful and it’s done 💪
Thank you so much!!! That's exactly what I needed to know. 🙂
Great tutorial!💯👏🏻
Thanks for making the video!
If I am correct it saying u can put these on a stihl fs 2 40 c Strimmer?
Does it work for any model???
Turn the machine upside down makes it a lot easier as it stays put
gravity.. so useful sometimes ;9)
Sounds like Peyton Manning.
Flip the gear box/head upside down and the blade will stay on the arbor while you tighten the bolt. Don't worry about your locking tool falling out, the hole is magnetic.
Yep been a while since I used the brush blade. Needed a refresher so I do it right the first time.
Thanks, method still works for stihl fs-km brush/line cutter
I have a Craftsman weed Wacker, what adapter kit should I use?
Showed everything, good video. Cheers!
Response166 thank you very much
What stihl model is it?
Great Video Presentation!! I think I have got it now.
Will this blade work on my FS 70 CE?
Has anyone had a problem with taking the nut off? I cant get mine to loosen.
Thanks my man! Great video!
easier to turn it over - only need to hold the lock device in the hole, but the blade is easily centered - the other parts hold in place while you tighten the nut.
less fighting = easier installation.
When I try to tighten it just spins
Big Help, thank you.
Where did you buy the blade and kit at ?
Thank you for this!
In the past what I have found helpful if you tip the brush cutter upside down
Thank you , very helpful 😊
Can you do this with any FS model of STIHL?
Works on my STIHL FS 56 RC
Why doens't Stihl tell you how to do this on the package???
Thanks so much for the video!
Thank, a great explanation!
Great video
Thanks boss man. cpuldnt get my blade off!
Good instructions, thx!
I have blade but pls tell me Where I bought that small tool
for me - it came with the unit. He calls it a saw tool because it also comes with their chain saws.
What trimmer did you use this on?
0.07 th-cam.com/video/jpKJ-eeLGu0/w-d-xo.html all stihl have similar heads
Great video! I think that’s an Allen key rather than a torque wrench. Thanks 🙏
Torx...not an allen wrench bud
If you turn the head upside down you can center and tighten the pieces much easier. Gravity is your friend.
legend, thanks fella
Maybe because of the video, but what you're saying is clockwise to tighten appears to be turning counter-clockwise. Not a problem, just an observation. Also, I found your helpful instructional video searching on the Stihl FS 45 trimmer. Is this that, or, will the attachment fit on any Stihl trimmer?
And the rotation of the blade looks wrong , mine spins the other way
It will not work on an FS 45 or 46. Has to be a straight shaft. I found out the hard way.
He said counter clockwise to tighten and is turning it counterclockwise.
Is that your real voice or are you doing a cartoon character?
Thank you.
Thanks borther
Very helpful
Excellent, straight shootin' video on exactly what you need to get this done. Explained in a way that even a monkey could do it.
Good video
Thank you very much!
Excellent👍🏻
Excellent
Thx 4 the tip
Thank you 🇳🇴😄
My blade has no holes to insert the locking rod.
The blade just turns when tightening the spindle nut. Yes, it’s a Stihl blade
Thank you
Thank you!
Turn the strimmer upside down so gravity is working for you😂😂
The big silver looking cup on the bottom of the blade prevents you from cutting brush close to the ground and will hang you up. Very frustrating!! Echo brand is a lot better for cutting brush close to the ground...Your better off using the Stihl as a weed eater and Echo for saw blades if you need to use saw blades
I locked mine. The nut just spins its not coming off. The bolt is staying still, the nut just turns its not coming off. What did I strip it? Maybe it already was? What do I do?
Solution - buy secondary Stihl trimmer.
I'm experiencing same help
Why not turn the trimmer over. It is a lot easier that way
Thank you man
If that "little Adaptor blade" does not fall out when you take the head off, you will have to buy one, I did and it was $27.00 dollars (local) . P.S. you will have a hard time finding it on the internet.
And the real trick is keeping the blade centered while tightning the lock nut.
Ever thought about turning it upside down?? Asking for everyone that watches this.
Thanks😊
Thanks man
can't beat string with bump feed . but thanks for video
thanks!!
