I don't know why this video received so many dislikes from impatient people. This is free advice and you should be grateful for this helpful gentleman sacrificing his time sharing his knowledge. I personally found it very helpful. Thanks for your video!
This guy is the perfect teacher, he goes at a steady pace so everyone will understand, some processes slower than others, and I'm grateful he's doing it slow now I have a full understanding. Impatients is your hell, for not having a heart so everyone can have an opportunity, patience is a virtue TRUST ME.
Had to restring my mom's Remington trimmer. Your video was perfect - your instructions were clear enough that I could figure it out even with the minor difference. AND whoever strung hers last had done it WRONG, which no one knew so it went the whole season as a gimpy trimmer. Works great now, thanks.
Thanks a bunch for the demo. I just purchased a Fs 90 and it's the first time I have dealt with the autocut. I normally purchase the cheapo trimmers but I just moved into a new home and wanted something that would last. Very excited about my new purchase!!
Thanks so much for this vid. My trimmer line kept getting stuck and I just know that I did something wrong, but I just didn't know how to solve my problem. Thanks to your great tutorial I will trim with less frustration now and more effect!
your suppose to hook each end of the string in the notches on the spool. then u lock the spool with the notches right next to it.your making a way harder then you have to. great video.
Works like a charm now. It stopped once and I figured, either the wires got jammed or I had them in the wrong holes so redid it and success! Thank you!
Thank you! My sweet husband always did this chore for me. He died unexpectedly 2 weeks ago. Strange how partners divvy up duties. However; so grateful I found your video as it was most helpful! Thank you.
Thank you for putting this up and for doing it at a pace that let me follow you. I have a green works trimmer and cold not find anywhere a how to video on how to replace the line. You save me a ton of trouble (my line ran out in the middle of landscaping my yard on a hot day).
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I just bought a worx nitro string trimmer because I want to be able to put a brush cutter blade on it. Hate using gas ones and trying to get them started. While I was trying to figure out how to get the trimmer string off of the shaft I ended up winding the string to the Head. There are no instructions anywhere on how to fix that issue. I searched for days on Google and TH-cam for a video but all I could find was how to change the string head on their original model. Your string trimmer was pretty similar and I knew that tab area you were using must have a purpose on my trimmer but didn't know what it was until your video. I'm trying to find a blade kit to work so I can attach a non-worx blade and while I was waiting I couldn't even use the trimmer till I could figure out how to get the string out. So thank you again very much appreciated!
iScaper1 Awesome video, i got a secondhand trimmer which had no line. I have no clue how to put on a line and i want do do it safely. your video made sure a line is installed and working, im very gratefull! and subscribed!
My Craftsman trimmer doesn't have a knob on the bottom to advance the trimmer line and unfortunately, the line has to be advanced by-hand. If I had known this before purchasing the trimmer, I would not have purchased this trimmer. Very good video!
Nice video! I can reload one of those in about 30 seconds (I have to reload just about every day because I burn through it so fast edging.) I use 2 arm lengths for each side.
You should be able to go to the owner's manual of your trimmers and find the recommended line size there. On my Stihl FS80 trimmer I went to the owner's manual section on replacing the Nylon line and it recommended 0.095" (2.4mm) line for my trimmer.
From what I understand of auto feed string trimmers you don't have to bump them to advance the line, the trimmer does it automatically with centrifugal force. I've never had an auto feed trimmer so I don't know how well this feature works. Maybe after you use yours you could report back and let us know how well the auto feed feature works.
Я имею такой же триммер и использую черную леску Stihl диаметром 3,3 мм , она самая лучшая из всех , что я пробовал . Конец лески я подтачиваю , что бы установить в катушку .
@ IScaper : I adapted your explanations to what seemed the most logical way to do it on my Villager (bc 1700 xc) trimmer with great success, you saved the day, thanks a lot! ;-) Now I will pass the knowledge to my girlfriend and her mother so that they can do it to in the case I'd not be there. :-)
thank you for sharing this video. This helps me a lot. Can you help me how to replace the blades. I ran out of wires and I got only one blade and I am in the middle of landscaping. Blades are better suitable for my purpose than wires.
hey I have a dual string weed trimmer but it doesn't have the divider piece in the spool for both strings to go through and keep them apart and it has one area to wind it up do I use two separate strings or use just one string to restring it up?
The instructions that came with the unit were somewhat elusive as to how to do this. I got a flyer from Stihl but still not very helpful. I am used to Echo mechanisms. Thanks for making it simple!
Thanks, it is very helpful, but I don't know what wrong I do, the Round String Trimmer Line cuts off from both ends after three four rounds. Please let me know what wrong I am doing
As a newbie to having my own lawn and owning my first string trimmer this really helped! One question: mine has an "auto advance" feature. Do you have any idea how this works or what it means? It says "no bumping" on the box but I have no idea what that means.
Why so sensitive? If someone can't take polite constructive criticism so as to improve the next time, then the personality fault is their own. I see no malicious intent in Roy's comment.
Does anyone know how to restring an OLD electric one string Weedeater 13 inch "Twist and Edge?" How long should my string be? and should I place the end in the clear before passing it through the hole?
Please help, please help I have a brush cutter, the speed increases very high (this is the speed I want) when the fuel is about of empty (5mins before the fuel gets empty). So I'm wondering what makes the motor run at high speed when the fuel is about to empty. The choke is down (fully open when operation)
+Amrithraj Gopalan There is a High adjustment screw on the carburetor. You twist it clockwise to increase the RPMs of the motor. Careful on this adjustment, if you have the RPMs too high you could burn up the motor.

Why am I never this calm and methodical when performing this task? Inspiring. Thank you.

Thanks Dave.
Thank you so much! I ran out of line on my Greenworks dual-string trimmer and couldn't find the manual. I got it strung and it works like a charm.
Wow, you prevented me from taking the trimmer all the way to Home Depot to get help.....thank you!!!!

Thank you Sir! you saved me so much time trying to figure out how to do this by myself.. Much appreciated.
Thanks for the feedback.
Helpful. Main thing I found helpful was to wind in the direction of the arrow. Thank you.
Cheers man for sharing this vid my mum was so happy lol
It was very nice of you, to take your time and explained this video, so that all viewers will understand, it,👍. what size of line does the Fs85 use.
Thanks Winston for watching. The FS85 uses 0.095 - 0.105 inch trimmer line.
Thanks for sharing. Very well presented and very helpful information.
Thanks Miguel for commenting.

3.3 mm coverts to .130" which is thicker than the standard size line you get from Stihl. Does it still feed out of the trimmer head ok?
Thanks mate, you saved me a lot of grief. Good clip.
Wow, from Russia! Thanks for watching.
Thanks for your clear explanation. Many thanks!

Thanks Vincent for the feedback.
@ IScaper : I adapted your explanations to what seemed the most logical way to do it on my Villager (bc 1700 xc) trimmer with great success, you saved the day, thanks a lot! ;-) Now I will pass the knowledge to my girlfriend and her mother so that they can do it to in the case I'd not be there. :-)
Not sure. What make is your string trimmer and do you have the owner's manual? It should say in the manual how to replace the string.
Thanks for this video, I have the same trimmer and know now howe to replace the wires
Thanks Eddy.
Thanks for the update and the way you explain things thanks once again for the efforts and for sharing this with us appreciation 🇩🇰👍🙏
My pleasure!
Very Good Tutorial.Solved my challenge. Thank You. All good.

thank you for sharing this video. This helps me a lot. Can you help me how to replace the blades. I ran out of wires and I got only one blade and I am in the middle of landscaping. Blades are better suitable for my purpose than wires.
You have to unthread and remove the trimmer head from the shaft then install the brush blade with the adapter plate and washers.
thank you very much ... this works
Thank you. A very helpful reminder. 😊
Great info. Makes things easier.
Thanks!
Thank you for this video! You have helped me to learn how to do this!
Thanks for the feedback.

hey I have a dual string weed trimmer but it doesn't have the divider piece in the spool for both strings to go through and keep them apart and it has one area to wind it up do I use two separate strings or use just one string to restring it up?
Thank you so much, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Hurry up brother! Jesus is coming
😄
I hear you bro..a bit slow
Very true
Great video, thanks.
I cannot see on your trimmer the knife for shortening too long line, or am I wrong?
There is a knife on the shield that cuts the line the correct length.
The instructions that came with the unit were somewhat elusive as to how to do this. I got a flyer from Stihl but still not very helpful. I am used to Echo mechanisms. Thanks for making it simple!

Thanks Lora.
Hello to Mississippi. Thanks for commenting.
Thanks Vicki.
Yes. Thanks for the reminder.
The duration of this clip could easily have been reduced by about 70%.
Agree, I should have made the video shorter.

A little tip I like to share, you can adjust the playback speed to 1.5x by clicking gear icon (pc) or tapping dots icon (app)
Does anyone know how to restring an OLD electric one string Weedeater 13 inch "Twist and Edge?" How long should my string be? and should I place the end in the clear before passing it through the hole?
Whatever would we do without tailgates for work benches? LOL!! Good vid--wish I could find one like it for my Robin trimmer.
ghw7192
I agree, Ford should advertise that tailgates make great workbenches.
On that model you can wind them both at the same time.
Excellent video , thanks for the help !!!!
very informative, thankyou brill video
Thanks for watching.
Thanks, nice and easy to follow
Excellent video. Thanks a lot!
Thank you for helping me
You're welcome!
Please help, please help
I have a brush cutter, the speed increases very high (this is the speed I want) when the fuel is about of empty (5mins before the fuel gets empty). So I'm wondering what makes the motor run at high speed when the fuel is about to empty. The choke is down (fully open when operation)
+Amrithraj Gopalan
There is a High adjustment screw on the carburetor. You twist it clockwise to increase the RPMs of the motor. Careful on this adjustment, if you have the RPMs too high you could burn up the motor.
Very helpful. Thank you.
Thanks ! Going out to try now.

Is there any advice on makita engines?
Thank you.
