What you did works, but might not work best for everyone. So the metal rod that comes with the brand new string trimmer head, that’s actually used to remove the old trimmer head. You would stick that rod in the same hole that you used the screwdriver for… and save a trip to find a tiny enough screwdriver that fits. So you don’t need a screwdriver at all. That said, i’m probably gonna lose the metal rod, and maybe the echo trimmer head is cheaper, so i’ll keep in mind I can use a screwdriver if I go that route. Thanks for making the vid!
I have 4 heads and they all tangle up inside. Have to restring them all the time. Two of them came with the two trimmers and Milwaukee gave me the other two. All four were tangled up right out of the box. Any suggestions. Can't get anywhere with Milwaukee anymore. It sucks.
How do you release more string to the outside when your strings need to get longer after they get damaged and shortened ? Thanks, Gerry from San Diego, CA
Gerald Velasco You pump the head on the ground while the string trimmer is on and more string will feed. Don’t worry if you over feed, the blade on the protection sleeve will cut it to the proper length.
It would have been nice if they had made it obvious in big letters that it was a LEFT HAND THREAD, saying IT is clockwise is ambiguous, it all depends if its your clockwise or the viewers.
Dude! scrap that head and replace it with a HusqvarnaT35 head and you'll forever be happier. You'll spend more time unjamming the line so that it will bump feed, than you will actually using the dang thing. The line tangles and jams ALL THE TIME no matter how well you think you wound it in there. Bad design. Won't bump feed well at all, you'll hate it. I've bent so many aluminum shafts trying to get this thing to bump feed than I'd like to admit. Save yourself some dough and and get the T35 head.
