Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear the guard assembly did not arrive in the expected configuration and understand how frustrating that can be during installation. In some cases, components may appear misaligned prior to installation and can be repositioned by loosening the fastener and rotating the connector into the correct orientation before securing it in place. We recommend checking that all mounting points align properly with your trimmer model and that the guard is installed according to the manual. If the connector cannot be adjusted or does not align correctly our success team would be happy to assist further and help identify the correct solution. They can be reached either using the online chat function, on Greenworks Tools page, or by calling 1-888-909-6757.
My purchase price was returned after I purchased this product because the spool was no longer available. I have been waiting months and have been calling stores within 50 miles to try and purchase this part and no one has it. I am very sorry I purchased this line trimmer as I only got to use it 3 times before needing to replace the spool. Not because the spool was defective but because the spring that fits inside the with the spool got lost and apparently you can’t just replace the spring. The line trimmer is great. It is just frustrating that there is no way to buy the individual spring that fits into the spool and no way to replace the spool because is always out of stock. Very disappointing!
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet, Environmentally Safe, Effective, Powerful

Thank you for your feedback. We understand how frustrating it is to have a working tool sidelined due to parts availability. For the S-Type trimmer head, the internal spring is part of the spool assembly and is not sold separately, which is why replacing the full spool or head is typically required when components are lost. As a troubleshooting step, we recommend confirming the exact model of your trimmer and checking compatibility with any updated or alternate spool assemblies, as some newer replacements may be cross-compatible even if the original part is out of stock. It may also help to inspect the trimmer head to ensure no debris or line fragments are preventing proper reassembly if you still have the original components. For guidance on proper spool installation and handling (which can help prevent parts from dislodging during changes), we recommend reviewing a Greenworks instructional video that walks through line loading and head assembly. Due to ongoing inventory fluctuations, availability can vary, but our success team can assist in checking restock timelines or identifying a compatible alternative, please reach out via chat on www.greenworkstools.ca or by phone on 1-888-909-6757 with your model number so we can help get you back up and running as quickly as possible.
Excellent performance, high torque motor makes short work of heavy vegetation. Battery life is exceptional for the heavy load I put it through. Very happy and would recommend to anyone who wants to get tough jobs done.
