I always break in new 2 stroke equipment. When I got mine brand new, the gear head was a little tight at first, but as you slowly trim with it, it will break in. Same with the motor, the rings need to break in

@ThatOneShepherd1776 3 года назад

After watching this, I think it's safe to say that I will be upgrading to this over Stihl, plus I can still use my Husqvarna 128LD for an edger I have been using as a weed eater for the last 7 years. I currently use Stihl with my second job and they're just not as lightweight like I want.

Nice trimmer. (I own the curved shaft version, and it's reach limited. Straight shaft's best: learned the hard way). Thank you for making & posting this video. You should think about wearing a dust mask when trimming such amounts of grass & weeds (pollen & dust: no no for the lungs).

If you start it when its cold and move the choke lever back-and-forth a few times while holding at full throttle it will reach operating temperatures much faster...I do it every time I use any 2 cycle equipment, it works every time..

@zackmorehouse 6 лет назад

What direction does the head spin if you are looking down the shaft? I have looked for over a month at this and the Stihl FS 56 Rc-e. Got the Stihl today and it’s counter clockwise. 15+ years of clockwise spinning trimmers so counter clock wise is really messing me up. Caught a rock in the lip today.

@earthnotaglobe8472 6 лет назад

in order to spin clockwise you'll have to get a curve shaft trimmer .

@josuemelendez8722 3 года назад

Mine does not start anymore. Used it a month. Brand new. What gives?

@tallens5280 4 года назад

I've been using Stihl for 5 years. I recently bought a 94r which is lightweight and has just enough power for everyday trimming. I'm considering this trimmer but can't find any specs on the horsepower rating. Do you know what it is? If not, what do you think of the power? It may seem insignificant, but 2 or 3 tenths of a horsepower rating makes a big difference with small engines. Also, solid drive shaft or flex?

@bryanyoder2574 4 года назад

Its 21.2cc its super light weight. Not 94r powerful. If you want 94r powerful get the 25.4cc comercial echo. Its a little over 300

All you need to do is with the trimmer on, give the trimmer some throttle and bump the trimmer head on the ground. It has a spring loaded mechanism that will feed out more string! 😎

Bump the head on the grass while it's running, and it'll release the spool ratchet mechanism one notch, and feed out a small length. You'll hear the sound change from the longer length. Don't bump it too many times or it'll just waste string, because the guard cuts off any excess.

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.
