This is the best explanatory video on how to wind trimmer line onto a spool. Didn't pay much attention on first viewing. Great.

And when it's time to do it again, and I've forgotten everything, you're there to tell me - patient as ever!

Thqnks very much ... I used to take off all parts; wind up the wires; and put the wole thing with wires back together ... obviously only worked once in 20 times ... did not know it was so simple . Thanks mate

Thank you! Zero instructions for line in the booklet and this explained it perfectly.

Hadn’t used mine in a while and totally forgot you don’t have to hand wind or even take it apart to put line in. Sooo glad I watched this and great job. Very well laid out video and angles with good explaining. Tip of the hat to ya sir.

The most nicest informative Aussie I’ve seen. Good video!

Thank you so much - superbly explained as always!! Nothing at all in the Stihl instructions which is just crazy

Thank you! My Stihl instructions amazingly don’t have how to change the line! Saved my weekend mate thanks!

Wow you would think for the price you pay for Stihl FSA 85 they would give good instructions! No more pain changing the line thanks to you.

Thank you so much for making this Video. I just used it to successfully take my power head apart as my line had ended with some leftover line still on one side and one side empty so I needed to get the 6" of line out from that side before refilling.. Followed your instructions and it all went very easily once I got the bump button undone. That was harder than it needed to be but I think I must have tightened it up too much last time I refilled the line. Much apprecieated. :)

Oh my god, I've been doing mine all wrong for YEARS. Thanks for this video, this will be a game changer. Can't wait for the weekend!

I had to restring my trimmer today and I followed the instructions you provided and it was an easy mission. Thank you from Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada.

Thank you from UK . Instruction booklet 308 pages 14 languages and as usual nothing worth reading 😂😂. Thanks to your video I'm up and running again. 👍

You Rock! Finally an easy to follow video on how to do this RIGHT!!! 🤜🤛👊

Greeting from San Antonio, Texas! Thanks for the excellent video on restringing the trimmer head. As we say in The USA : “It was a piece of cake!”

Thank You SO much for your GREAT Video, SO easy now. Nothing in the handbook. Kind Regards Rodney Gabriel

Thank you, trimmer has been kicking my ass!! 😂

great video man. thanks for showing the technique for winding the spool.

This is a wonderful video. I loved the details and step by demonstration without any extra gab. It was very helpful to see that you too struggle a bitwith certain parts of the reloading process; but with patience we end up with a fantastic tool. I agree, you have beautiful hands; and let’s add an intelligent, kind voice.

Likewise, thanks a million..... last time i needed it refilled I took in to the dealer who kindly obliged but this time, after watching your video, I did it myself in a fraction of the time. I was so pleased as I had put off the job as last time I had struggled and failed! So thanks again

Absolutely brilliant! Showed all the problems I had replacing the line and how to solve them. Thank you!

Thank you so much!!! We'll meet next time again 😅

Thanks for the video! Super helpful!!

I was like 420! Thank you for this video. I use the trimmer only occasionally and always need the reminder. -Skip

Thanks for that. I have been struggling all afternoon and with your help the job’s all done.

Thank you for showing a brilliant video on how to load the strimmer head .👌

Great video which very clearly illustrates loading these great trimmers. Thank you.

Thank you for the very clear instructions - lifesaver ! 🙈

My saviour ! Many, many thanks fella.

Oh yay -I don't have to back to the Stihl shop looking like an incompetent idiot again! Bless you for this.

Fantastic as a woman this is just what I needed easy to understand and wallah! Thank you

I have a FSA 65 which looks like your unit. I followed you instructions, EXCEPT I had to push in on bumper knob to engage the threaded shaft (did not go on like video shows) After assembly and pushing in line, I could not turn the outer serrated knob more than one quarter turn, and that was it. Everything was tight like something was jammed up. Thought about spraying everything with a slippery lubricant to help things along, but wanted advice. Finally took to rewinding around spools and working everything back inside. Trimmer seems to work but haven't used the string bump yet (but it will probably jam up like every other time) Thanks from Covided USA.

I have to find this video every time I need to replace my strimmer cord lol. Cheers for making the content mate. I also find the arrows have worn off of the head which makes it a bit of a faff. On the whole though I do like the machine and it’s a testament to good design that it lasts so long between reloads that I forget how to do it.

Fantastic explanation Thankyou so much

Consegui colocar o fio verde depois que assisti sua explicação. Você é didático e foi muito importante aprender pois não tem informação no livro do FSA 85. Agora tenho que aprender como aumentar a linha durante o serviço de cortar a grama. Obrigada.

Excellent jog! Thanks for this!

Well explained, there's nothing in the book about loading the line..

The end of the string to be threaded must be straight. Take the slight curve (inherited from the supply spool) out of it and it will more easily go into the inner hole.

Thanks so much! Very helpful

Great video, clean, clear and to the point.

Rarely seen such a clear video. Very helpful!😀

Great video and very helpful. Thank you.

Thanks helped me a lot!

Thank you this is very helpful

I was watching this on my allotment in Welsh weather 😂. I had to look up how replace the line, to help a fellow community member. This helped, but we are thinking there may be a problem with the manufacture of her strimmer. Nothing was working smoothly. We suspect there is something wrong with the mechanisms. I hope it works out. Thanks for the tips. 🌱

Very helpful

Thank you!! I’m back to work!

This was so helpful thank you so much 🥹🥹

Excellent well explained.

as wonderful as this tool may be to use, putting the string on defies all human innovation. id have better luck replacing my grans catheter than stringing up this foul contraption.

Thank you so much. Worked perfectly!

Really helpful, thanks a lot mate. Much appreciated

Thanks, I had too much in the head so it kept on jamming

Thanks a stack bud, really really helpful!!

Legend Thank you so much! brilliant explanations

I'm a first time viewer and really enjoyed your video! Excellent content, easy to understand, you should be an instructor! God bless you and keep you safe!👍

That was helpful! Cheers!

Really helpful .. thank you so much!

Cheers, thanks for all the help!

Than you very much Really helped

it Worked!!!! 1st 🥇 Time!!!! Hoooray

Thanks - it worked well

great stuff, thank you Sir

very helpful thanks!

Well Done!

This was great thanks!

Thank you Vert useful

Отлично! И с юмором: - "лишняя леска, до свидания")) Спасибо за показ.

thank you!!!!

This is the first INDEED useful Video I found for this task. Thanks a lot. one question: how do I pull out a bit of the line, after it became shorter after some use of the trimmer?

Thank you!!!!

spot on! cheers

Thank you!

How did you know to replace the line by winding on? It is not mentioned in the Manual. I have, for years been disassembling the cutter head and winding two lengths of line onto the two sections then re assembling the cutter head.

Thanks mate. My boss bought this for our quiet areas and I had no idea how to cord it up. Bloody legend Just used it .. absolutely hopeless 😂. Very awkward to use . Avoid this machine. But thanks for the tips.

Thanks mate.

How do I get the knob off to check for pieces of line inside? Mine won’t budge no matter how hard I try or trying to push it in and turn it?

Thanks!

How long does the battery last after full charge? Ive seen fsa56 only last 12minutes..

My head is different,how to remove string still inside?not an easy head to use

Loving your review vids. Have you tried a metal trimmer on this machine?

Any advice if the knob won’t unscrew? After use mine seems super stuck

Thank you

Thank you 👍

Can I use 2.4 diameter line? Just because at the moment there is no fishing line with a diameter of 2.0 Thank you.

How long does the battery last for during the cutting of your lawn

The bayonet part of the bumper moves freely from the body, making it impossible to lock it into position ... it should be fixed to the shaft of the bumper shouldn't it? Is something missing, or should I try a bit of lock tite just to reassemble it?

WTF, I can't believe a company like Stihl would still use such an archaic head. This ends my consideration for Stihl for a new cordless trimmer. Very disappointing.

Its a great Whippy, but the Honda head is much easier to load. This looks fiddly

thank you

I align all the point. Push and turn right. Just will not stay in?? A tad frustrating

what a pain to reload,

You have got Beautiful hands

👍🙏

What a pain in the ass

i hate this tool so much

Tremors

Mumble jumble- get on with it. We don’t need to see a face all the time. Is this an instruction video or a catwalk?
