swinging from left to right is always better than swinging from aster to cpodlid.

"Safety is the #1 priority." Or whatever the Crazy Russian Hacker says. 😊

@@wmluna381 yes exactly

See that, you can teach an old dog new tricks :)

Cool - welcome to the club

Cool - congrats

That is great to hear!

No problem!

Thanks mate - glad to help!

I just reviewed the $200 pencil - time to upgrade

Rock on!

I just started working at a state park and do a lot of weed whipping there. We have Stihl electric rechargeable and gas trimmers. Got the barest of bare minimum training. 🙄 I've always either lived in apartments or someone else did all the yard work in the houses I've lived in so this was an enlightening video. 👍

String trimmer operator 😂😂 ive never heard that my bad not making fun of you but that sounds ridiculous

@@joshalvarado9701 It's literally a search/product term on Google. Guess G is ridiculous too.

Thanks mate - just a few more weeks for that grass to show up!

Hopefully these tips help

Did you get the power load - I always recommend that model for people who have struggled loading string - check the link above, it's on sale....

@@Kitearmy did they come out with the power load after the bump? Is it a pricier version or something ? Otherwise I don’t get why they sell both. Milwaukee looks like it has a solid system for easy accessory changes but otherwise is pricy among that type. What would you recommend for a flower bed that’s filled with basically ivy like weeds. Just jam packed. A shrug trimmer attachment (I’m going this route regardless for this overdue cleanup) but the included string seems to barely put a dent in it. It’s not like it’s very thick. It’s like the size of a 18 gauge wire or something. But it’s incredibly dense, like it grows in a very dense group and the vine itself is very dense & not fragile greenery but very strong brown & vine like. It honestly feels like squatting down and using a hedge trimmer would be far more effective and quicker for sure. Actually wishing I had picked that up before the string trimmer now 😂 Is there string/line that’s stronger or more slicey etc…and do you want thinner line for stronger growth because it slices through it easier, or heavier line because it’s stronger than the growth and less likely to break. Or none of the above.

Great advice

Thanks mate - don't worry the views will come

Me too. I just don’t think an electric trimmer would be able to be worked of a commercial scale day in day out for one season, let alone multiple mowing seasons. If nothing else, I’m sure just keeping enough batteries charged would be an extra task in itself

i agree

I agree with you on this one.

You are so welcome!

Glad this helped!!!

Man my ankles are fucked rn I gotta start wearing jeans. Even standing to the right stuff still hits me

Like another one said "knuckleheads wear shorts".

@@MarcoLiftz yeah, I’ve never understood wearing shorts to do line trimming. I’ve worn shorts when taking care of my own lawn, but I’ve cut grass commercially, and would never even consider wearing shorts, personally, if I’m going to be running a trimmer all day long. To me, it really doesn’t keep me that much cooler, compared to wearing long pants- but really the main thing is I would get twice the cuttings in my shoe, whereas jeans would cover the top of my boots/shoes.

@@Naltddesha yeah I was just doing edging / weed wacking at my own house lol. Still hurt tho

Thanks mate.....Yeah it's obvious once you see it but it eludes most of us

Yeah - I see some landscapers doing that

if not a line IQ make sure at least the Powerload - it's wonderful

Perfect!

Too kind mate....try this for soothing musics: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p56feryIr968pn0.html

Glad to help

Glad it was helpful!

Wow, thanks!

thanks mate

That is awesome!

So glad you liked them :)

Glad it helped!

Yeah - the EGO multi-head is the only EGO trimmer that is a CCW spinner. It's good that they have both directions if someone has a preference.

Yeah - they are just in different classes

Thanks mate

You are so welcome!

Great machines

Thanks mate

Right on

You are so welcome!

Great pickup - I don't know if i remembered to mention that

Strangely we pros favour pushing the debris towards the body. Our main priority is limiting the amount of ejected debris. In the video you can see debris ejected towards the fence, on a commercial job this is hazard. The guard is designed to operate in this orientation. typically we are wearing shin guards, face shield, and heavy trousers so the main guard is the first line of defence then the body is the second line of defence.

@@MrStrez2 Yes definitely best to have trimmer shoot everything towards the ground and your feet. I wear really tall boots so most debris hit that and don't shoot out towards people, cars, houses, fences or anything. In order to do this I walk right behind the spit path of the trimmer and basically let it pull me along in a line.

@@MrStrez2 I get that - this is advice for most home owners who do not want to get pelted with grass and rocks

@@MrStrez2 agree, I think of it as a mulching cut as you recut the debris as you walk over it. Its also better cause you can see what you've cut and easily do bits you've missed, unlike walking forward where you walk over your work. You get a soother finish too, less tiger stripes and hacky looking. Stihl FS450 is my daily tool, but I've got quite a few Stihls, not sure about those electric trimmers yet, but perfect for the home owner.

Is the Fs61r and Echo or Stihl by chance? That model sounds familiar

Very welcome

My pleasure

Nah, it was click bait for the Ego commercial.

Awesome - let me know if you have any other questions

The Milwaukee head is second best - next to EGO

thanks mate - but I'm stoked on what I got going :)

You are so welcome!

great tip - thanks mate

That's so clever. Wish I had thought of that, because it has saved my pectorals a lot of pain 😂

The EGO twist line loads very reliably in the EGO powerload models

Thanks mate

True - it was a quick shot

Thanks mate - appreciate the support

I think is spins CCW because of all the other attachments. Every other EGO is clockwise

Oh no!

Throughout the WHOLE Mediterranean region, the vegetation is tougher than anything we would be cutting in the US? Hmm. Well that doesn’t sound right. That’s an incredibly broad statement!

My pleasure!

I want to see Telecenter vs EGO :)

Sure

LOL - I hope you not suggesting that you hire employees that have entered this country illegally. I know that we agree that doing so would be very un American.

The charger is a smart charger and will go into a trickle maintenance mode if you leave them on - I use min so often the longest they probably sit on the charger is about a week

Don't know if you saw this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hNaKn6Slvb-phH0.html

Thanks mate - I don't see that being a problem at all. Here is the link to the review: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qNZ_qa6H3pmYk3U.html

Thanks mate - these are just general tips. I'm sure we all find our own comfort level to get things done....

Also, White fence throwing the debris on it is not nice.

I had to go in the garage to see which way my trimmer rotates. Since the guard cutter is on the right of my old cheapie B&D and still on the right of my EGO Line IQ wonderful trimmer, I'll just keep doing what I was doing.

Yeah those guards aren't the best, I get debris thrown at me all the time, so much so that I continue to wear safety glasses, especially when hitting that overgrown stuff under the hedge 🤦

Im nervous of trimmers i definitely used the guard and dont raise it i want to keep my legs safe 😊

My pleasure!

Make sure to check out EGO

No problem

Not really as easy: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qNZ_qa6H3pmYk3U.html

@@Kitearmy yeah but it's way easier than manually doing it like you showed on the Milwaukee head. Line up the red dots, slide string through, twist.

@@Scott-xh7wd Sure - I pulled that video from the internet

yes they do

Most welcome

Cool

No worries!

@@Kitearmy my string trimmer spins counter clockwise, i switched to holding the gass with left hand and holding the handle with right hand (the string trimmer is on my left side), but sometimes i use the front of it instead of only the right side to cut. what is the reason to use only the right side to cut? if i will use the left side can debree fly at me ? thanks!!!

glad to help!

Sure thing - glad I could help

forgot that one - thanks

That is a good question - will look into that

Thanks mate - you are the best!!!!

Thanks Louis - hopefully one day it will die

Tell me about it

@@Kitearmy Been switching to battery with all my tools, it's satisfying to swap batteries between same brands of products. Idk why I get excited over tools lol

Thanks mate!
