Thanks for your comment. The white cover is mainly to stop the line unravelling before it gets used - it's not actually necessary once the spool is on the tool, and it works just as fine without it on, which is why we say it can be discarded in the video. I hope that helps, thanks, STIHL GB
@@nicolederoos8458 thanks for your comment. We don't have any current plans to shoot a video showing the FSA 56 as it is no longer a current model. However, you can take it to a STIHL Approved Dealer and they will be able to show you how to change it. You can find your nearest one here: shop.stihl.co.uk/pages/dealer-locator Thanks, STIHL GB
Now when the line breaks of inside the head a few minutes later you have to deal with that very frustrating situation. Buying prewound spools or reloading the old ones in not my problem. How to make this trimmer cut without breaking the line of inside the head is extremely difficult. The line will be jammed inside and not feed out so it breaks off when you’re going along in a rough patch or hit a rock or strike anything besides grass. What can I do before I lose my religion?
Just did it. Here are the steps if anyone's interested: 1. Remove orange cover (2 screws). 2. Dismantle white body (8 screws) - then you'll get to the moweing head and it's rotors. 3. On mowing head where the spring is, there is the very center is a rod on which mowing head is atteched. The rod it kept in place by a tiny circular spring (maybe there's a better word for it), you have to unleash that spring and remove it in order to get mowing head off the rod. Bewere that mowing head is quite stuck on the rod, so need to apply the force - either on the rod, but better on the mowing head as you will replace it either way. 4. Once mowing head is removed, clean the rod from mud and grass. 5. Install new mowing head. 6. Put on circular spring back on to secure mowing head on the rod. 7. (Now is the best moment to clean all plastic parts from mud.) 8. Put back gently the white body and screw it together. 9. Put back the orange cover. 10. Put on the line holder which.
