Looks to me like the rotation of the blade is counterclockwise as observed from the operators perspective and that the blade is indeed installed to ensure that the cutting tooth contacts the surface of the tree first if the head of the machine is moved from right to left. So, I don't understand why the operator is moving the his machine from left to right which would cause the back of the cutting tooth to contact the tree first. Am I the only one who noticed this? Or, am I just wrong? I've been cutting wood and trees for 60 years and I've always wanted the sharpened tooth to be the first thing to hit the wood!
I love my Greenworks Trimmer for the exception of the string line bump head assembly . My trimmer must be an old one as to reload the line, you have to take the bump head apart and restring the line the old way. My question is: Can you replace the old head with a new one as in your demonstration? A second question: Where do you buy a replacement bump head and/or replacement parts for the trimmer? I weed eat on soil that is very hard/rocky on the bump knob and have had to replace the bump knob and spool at least three times, the trimmer is only four years old. The ONLY place that I've found that carries the bump head is an off brand supplier that was found on an extensive GOOGLE search.
I had a model older than this one that I love. My sister has difficulty with tools that are too heavy and she actually loved mine and found it easy to use ru-vid.comUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG . This is a newer model but was even lighter which she really appreciates. She enjoys it and I no longer have to go to her house to trim as she can handle it fine. Haven't used it enough to comment on the battery life but lithium batteries last longer than the old style. Being cordless makes it easy to trim the far edges of the property. The entire yard can be trimmed with one charged battery.
I can't get the line to go into the hole because the old line is in there and it won't come out. WTF, do I have to buy a new head every time the line runs out??????????? Also, great job putting the markings on the part that gets worn down. I'm off to find a video by someone who actually uses the trimmer not a brand new head.
God I wish it was this easy, used mine once and now it's useless, can't get the line to load. Also, tf GW selling units with almost no line loaded, mine maybe had 16 inches tops.
This is terrible to reload. In the video it turns easy, but the one we bought requires A LOT of force for each little turn. We are already looking for another trimmer.
how or what i need to do to turn the knob in order to wind the line after i thread the line thru the holes? The knob is stuck. Thank you for your help.
Hello It’s been awhile how are the GreenWorks mower sales going ? Any issues with dissatisfied customers ? What if any issues have you come across with the mowers ? Thank you Joe
