Yup that's how I do it... I'm just a short little man so it's annoying and hoped to find something more ergonomic for me 😂

Totally wrong. No need to remove the cover, just line up the marks on the cover and feed the line thru. Next, hold the container and turn the bottom ring ccw. That way you dont have to keep moving the string out of the way. If all else fails, read the manual.😀

Nice video, except the instructions explicitly state to hold the spool housing (cap) down while turning the spool gip (notched) COUNTER CLOCKWISE. Despite having restrung this thing numerous times over 3 years, I just did it wrong again. So, if all of you newcomers find your line not advancing when bumped, save yourself frustration, and just take it apart and reassemble following the above instructions. Other than the way the thing eats line (DeWalt), I would never go back to a gas machine again!

Thanks for your help very clear instructions

Does the new head fit on the old?

the dewalk string. atleast the one i bought is 0.80

Thank you

Thank you!! 7:15

Does the safety button feel weird at all being on the side of the newer trimmer, or did u not even notice it being an issue?? Thanks for the video, awesome

Thank you because I have this type! I followed what you did and it works, happily. I learned that when the head turns to wind the string, I rotated the bottom counterclockwise so I didn't have to keep moving the string.

Avoid this DeWalt String Trimmer. My trimmer was less than 2 years old and stopped working. Many others reported similar issues. Not worth the time and expenses to repair. Junk!

Bless u

DEWALT 20V MAX XR 14” String Trimmer got a nice folding handle to fit in the trash. It the worst thing Dewalt ever made.

Dewalt trimmer Piece of shiit

just bought the new one yesterday after my 2 cycle just up and quit on me... AGAIN. I swear I hate 2 cycles SO MUCH, lol.... hopefully this will work well enough I never have to touch another 2 cycle again

Did you ever take the camper out ??

Could anyone add a pic of the cap head spring? Somehow mine got separated and lost during a cleaning. Hate to have to buy a new head when I could maybe find a spring at Ace.

I had a model older than this one that I love. My sister has difficulty with tools that are too heavy and she actually loved mine and found it easy to use kzfaq.infoUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG . This is a newer model but was even lighter which she really appreciates. She enjoys it and I no longer have to go to her house to trim as she can handle it fine. Haven't used it enough to comment on the battery life but lithium batteries last longer than the old style. Being cordless makes it easy to trim the far edges of the property. The entire yard can be trimmed with one charged battery.

20 continuous feet of line total. They mean 10ft per side. You shorted yourself.

You wound up your string in a clockwise direction with the cap but the directions on the DeWalt instruction manual stated to go in a counterclockwise direction.

Hey, i just started using my dads old version, and it seems well i am using it the string wont come out when im hitting it against the ground. I had to manually keep fixing the string. did you ever have this problem?

Great video thanks. So helpful !

Hell yea to weed eating in flip flops and socks!

I found this to be a two-person project. Between the curl of the line itself and the fact that you're trying to wind it around the spool, it just keeps winding up a tangled mess. Way easier to have your wife stand there and hold the two ends while you turn it.

Great test. I am debating between these two models and your video comes in handy. Let me know please if there are other differences or cons not mentioned in the video. I did see the follow-up 4 mo later and this what I got: + less vibration + lighter - rectangular handle - taller spool base

I just checked out the 922 and like many others have noted,it's HEAVY and front end heavy to boot. That silly fold in half idea made it a pita ergonomically.

You are the only comparison I saw between these two string trimmers. Thank you and you made the video very informational and easy to understand the differences. The old model is on sale with the DCBL722P1 blower so I'm going to pick one of those up I think

Do you think the vibration is in the spool head? Maybe if you changed the head to the quick feed the vibration will go away

Great video! I'm glad I watched it. So easy

why didnt u just get the edger attachment

How much runtime did you get with your batteries? If you can include run times for both settings (1 and 2) if you used both for the duration of the battery, that would be great.

Спасибо

thanks My mom was harrassing me to do this but its so easy thanks shes always got me doing shit I hv. no idea how to do

Same story as you... bought this DeWalt model last year and finally need to re-spool the twine. Love this machine and I'm never going back to a gas powered trimmer. Thanks for the demo!

Thanks for posting your review.

Thank you your video saved me a lot of frustration, good job

You don’t have to take the cap off to put new line through the head. Just line up the 2 lines on the outside of the spool and push the line through. Also, you don’t have to keep turning the spool to wind the line. It’s got a ratcheting action for that, so you just ratchet the spool back and forth and it winds the line onto the spool.

thanks, your video made it simple

Neither one is compatible with any other attachment. Electric motor placed at base power head. Heavy at the bottom. Sucks up grass.

Closed toe shoes should be a requirement too

That's thevway i do it with my 20v max its 3-4 yrs old takes alot of practice can't put head to low or your string breaks tried 3 heads find the husqvarna is best for me soak line in water that helps good job

Like most things in life, it's easy only after you know how to do it :) Thanks for the instruction!

My trimmer head doesn't ratchet like yours does...how did you get it to ratchet? I've been loading the spool the old fashioned way, so any help will be appreciated...

I use husqvarna head much better head

Awesome! Thank You!

Sorry too much talking just do the job

Omg, thank you! Lost the instructions, and had no idea how to do this. 👍

The actual edger does a great job. Spend a few dollars for it.
