It is SHOCKING how many people don't know about this hidden grease hole on a trimmer!! Not many people know that you can grease the bottom bearing on a curved shaft, Stihl FSE60, FS38, FS45, FS40, ETC. This will definitely prolong the life of your grass trimmer.
Steve will give you the low down...watch now!

Hi Steve. Good video. A hack I do to our fleet of stihl straight shafts is to drill a 5mm hole through the grease nut and tap a thread for a grease nipple. 😁

Hey Steve I found your channel because I'm currently having trouble with a generator. It's a Predator with 3500/4375 peak watts. I live in California and we're dealing with triple digit temps during the day and it only gets into the low 80's at night so I'm doing whatever I can to fix it. I know about motorcycles but not much about Generators. Anyway I'll get to my question. Why aren't the RPM's changing when I plug something in? For example: If I plug something in like my freezer or window AC (5,000 BTU's) it shuts off because the generator won't give out enough power. The only way I can keep them on is by having them at their lowest setting which just isn't enough. Hopefully you will see this soon and reply thanks! ✌️

The best one of the two didn't have a trimmer head, but the other one did so I swapped them out. In the process, I found that little hole for the grease and used my bar greaser to pump it full of fresh grease. Thanks Steve! Maybe I can keep this one running a few more years because I can properly maintain it.

Should be at the the trimmer head a hex bolt. Some have a torx center. It's around 7/16" in size. You do not need to remove the head or the guard on a straight shaft version.

@gvarga77 3 года назад
Well, even the newer Stihl trimmers don’t have an option for greasing. They were meant to last “lifetime”. Tsk tsk... An FS55 for example has a different way of greasing, you can turn the Stihl grease tube into the thread and squeeze it in. I don’t think the lower end models would have such capability but I could be wrong.

There is a place to lube on the straight shaft and stick edgers. It's a larger cap that you remove and lube it with Stihl grease that comes in a little tube. You take the cap off the grease and the tube screws into the hole where you removed the plug from. Do it every couple of years. You can actually see if it's low on grease.
