Thank you! Took looking through 20 videos to find someone with the same type of spool mine has. Helpful hint, make sure to wind the top one first so you can use the built in catch at the top. I did the bottom first before I realized what I did and had to unwind it and start over.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Took forever to find a video on how to replace the line in my particular trimmer since it’s an older model.

Thank you! Took forever to find a video to string the OLD version of the 40volt max! This was perfect!

First time string line replacement on this exact model and your video was perfect!! Was tempted to buy the 3 pack of pre-wound spools for $20 out of fear of being unable to pull off re-stringing the spool properly. Thank you for the honest and realistic video and instructions. Now I will just buy the pack of line for $8 at Lowe's! GREAT WORK!

"This will frustrate you beyond belief." You are sooooo right. THANK YOU for posting this.

I wanted something light weight and capable of cutting. This little string trimmer is just that kzfaq.infoUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG . The battery will last about half an hour. It cuts through most weeds and grass. I wanted to see what this trimmer could do and tried cutting down some brush. It does okay with light brush but heavy brush, not so much. This is a great tool for trimming around the yard. It's not great for clearing out brush but no one would expect it to be.Out of the box, this trimmer is extremely easy to use. All I had to do was attach the guard and load the battery.

Was looking for videos on replacing the entire head of this trimmer, watched your video, and realized I've been stringing it wrong all along. I loathe this auto-feed head. It's a terrible design and I was planning to buy a new trimmer. Your video just gave my trimmer a 2nd chance on life. Thanks!

Wow I see you published this almost exactly a year ago. Came across this just now because I needed to re string this exact trimmer. THANK YOU for this video...a year later. 😬🙌🏽

Great Video! I was having trouble finding a video w/ the type of string housing my kobalt has, so glad to find this.

This version of the clear video has been such a Blessing! I’ll be able to follow these instructions. You made everything visible and direct to the point. Thank you very much.

Thank you! I've been trying to figure this out and this is the only helpful video I found,

UNLESS ppl are far more patient than I AM, this sucker is a PAIN IN THE BUTT... NEVER EVER WILL I BUY THIS AGAIN especially since battery only lasts an hour !!!!!! HATE IT! BUT I am very glad to find your video !!!

Excellent! super-clear audio and picture, and I appreciate that you were honest about the usual frustration level... and that not everything worked perfectly. Makes us all feel better about our approach to these infrequent tasks. Thanks!

Thank you I watched this video 3 years ago and rewatched it today to remind myself how to do this

Thanks to your video, I was able to change out my trimmer string in less than 15 minutes! Thank you sir!

I just got one of these 10 days ago. I anticipated having trouble with the string, so I ended up buying the refills that come with a pre-wound spool. All I'll have to do is pop the old one out and pop the new one in. They're a little more expensive, but if they'll save me a bunch of aggravation, they're worth it!

Much appreciated. Saw another video with incorrect instructions that has led to so much frustration. You have saved me with this one.

Found one in the garbage can down the road your video Explains It All not a lot of people have the ability to rewind the string on Dittos to you my friend thanks for sharing the video was very helpful

I really appreciate your video! I was stringing it incorrectly but sometimes it worked. I just couldn’t get it to stay in place today so I found your video and finally figured out what I was doing wrong lol. You’ve saved me so much time and frustration. Thank you!

Rather than push the side button to release more string, I believe it's designed to release a little more string EVERY time it starts. Listen for the clicks when it first starts spinning. Sounds wasteful, but it's only a few mm at a time. Who cares? Reloading from a replacement spool is so much cheaper than buying the pre-loaded spools. Thanks for the demo.

Hey man, thanks for the tutorial. I made the mistake of loading the wrong side first. If you do that, you're screwing yourself for loading the other side, because when you lock the first line in place, you cannot effectively wind the second side, as the first line is "reached over" to the locking tab, blocking the winding process. Needed a second set of hands, but I got it.

Much appreciated!! Got it down now and saved me a trip to Home Depot to ask questions- thanks a lot!

Thank you! Took me forever to find this video. Followed right along with you and got it done quickly and easily. MUCH appreciated! 😁

Thank you. I have saved this for next time I need this as well!

You're a life saver. Thanks for taking the time to make this video!

This is exactly what i was looking for ❤️ Thank you pal 💪🏻👌🏻

Just what we needed. Thank you.

Oh man - this was so helpful... finding the same model makes this so much easier. I cannot tell you how many times I've lost my cool. LOL

Great video! Got it the first time and have never strung one! Thanks for making this video!

Thank you 🙏 so easy to follow, 1st time having to do this and your instructions made it easy.

Excellent instruction. And you were right about the frustration aspect.

Thank you! Worked perfect!

This was so helpful!! Thanks!

Your video was the only one that worked for me. Thanks

THANK YOU!! This has been so frustrating for me!

I just got mine re-strung! Thanks a million! My bf said I couldn't. I did and took pictures 😜

Great vid fellow human. Your son must be so handsome.

Thanks for the helpful video!

Thank u so much it took a while for me to find the same kind and it works good now

EXCELLENT tutorial! Thank you.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

thanks! helped me out today.

thanks for this video!

Thanks so much for this! I have been searching how to restring mine and I haven’t been able to find one like mine until now! I do have a question about the little gold metal things inside the head. Where do they go? Mine fell out and I don’t know where they came from.

Thanks buddy..!👍

Thanks dude, the lil thing you reel the string around almost got thrown in the river

Thanks! I was looking to see if I lost a spring and hoped that your video didn't have one for this "How to". BTW Lowes online started selling the blue caps (0:35 seconds) for about $5. I've owned mine for about 5 years and the cap is almost worn completely off.

Thanks you! Great video!

thank you so much!

My model is like yours but how do you remove the old little bit of residual cord that is still attached to the spool?

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

DO YOU HAVE A VIDEO ON HOW TO TAKE THE HEAD OFF OF THE ABOVE VIDEO TRIMMER

I got one of these, li last a while. The only thing I didnt like is after a while the CAP that holds the string accessory cracks up due to wear and tear. Now u have to order the blue cap make sure u order at least 3 or four cause they are thin.

This is why I love KZfaq. Ty!

Run sellotape around the grooves along with those keepers

Just tight some zip tight thought the hole and wrap it to each other centrifugal force keep from flying off. Zip tight are cheap and it take less then the size of this video

I'm done doing it my own way now lol

I hate our job alt trimmer it’s the same one you have. There is a jack out there where you change the head I can not find it though now that I want to do it.

How do you prevent the line from binding to itself? I find that after a little use, the lines will get stuck and not advance out the holes. They seem to get bound up between wraps on the spool. I've tried wrapping tighter, looser, shorter, longer but it keeps happening. Any ideas? Thanks for the video BTW

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm in Texas..all that (was offered) offered here is the preloaded wire type. I have this exact spool but the wire is permanently fixed to the spool,therefore not allowing to reline the spool. Any ideas?

It appears that the blue caps on these are impossible to find. Any suggestions on finding a compatible replacement?

THX

I have this exact trimmer and it is awful! Lol. Every time I tip it to use it like an edger the string just flies out of the thing. Does anyone know if there is a different head attachment just for edging?

How long should each segment be ? Is that a universal thing ?

I have an idea ! Try cleaning your unit !

The arrow is your friend. Just look

Changed mine out with the Shakespeare "Push and Load"...i will never use a bump head again nor will i ever have to restring.

You gotta knot the end or its going to unravel.

NO MORE KZfaq FOR ME TO MANY CHOPSTICK COMMERCIALS!

Kobalt effed- up on this design. They want you to spend $20 dollars

Thank you I watched this video 3 years ago and rewatched it today to remind myself how to do this
