Hello Dtr for father,
Sorry to hear of the troubles you have experienced. This string trimmer does not have replacement pre-wound spools. It is designed to be rewound using 0.080" (2 mm) trimmer line. There are two methods in which the trimmer line can be replaced. You will need approximately 15' of trimmer line at .080" inches in diameter. For the first method: Note the hash mark on the knob and the hash mark on the spool cover, while holding the spool cover in place with one hand , turn the knob until the hash mark line up with the hash mark on the spool cover. Then take the trimmer line and feed it through one of the holes in the side of the head until there is an even amount on both sides. Then wind the line into the spool by turning the knob clockwise. If you wish to readjust the line or if the line has been wound too short, push down on the knob and wind it counterclockwise. Be sure to leave about 5 inches of slack on each side of the spool. Second method: Remove the spool cover by simultaneously pushing the two tabs located on side of the spool cover. The cover should spring off, lift the spool out and feed line through hole in the center of the spool until you get an even amount of line on each side. Put the spool back in the trimmer head, making sure that both sides of the line go back into the grooves in the trimmer head, continue to hold the spool in place. Take the spool cover and put it back onto the trimmer, using both hands press down firmly to ensure that the taps lock into place, you can now rotate the knob on the spool clockwise to rewind the line back in making sure to leave the 5 inches of line on each side of the spool. This information can also be found in the owners manual, should you continued to experience a challenge we urge you to contact us once more at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS).
If your still using Gas your missing out. Literally the best this does it all. Instant start instant power. It goes, goes and goes... weed eat till your stuffed LOL then weed eat some more. I've had this going on 4 years now and have never had a problem. I have two batteries the 2.0Ah and the 5.0Ah both are substantial for my needs I use which ever is fully charged. I also own the 60V leaf blower and 60V chainsaw both are awesome and highly recommend those as well.
If your like me and you have to keep your power tools in your basement this is for you no more smelly gas or special gas cans to keep the smell down. Just pop in the battery and go to work. See video of the power. There is more than enough power to cut in driveways, chop down thick weeds ect.
I own a two acre botanical garden and wedding venue with meandering sidewalks and flower beds. The trimming/mowing takes me about 6 hrs on a weekly basis and it used to be such a pain (to my back). I upgraded to the 60 volt string trimmer and even though I still hate the trimming part of the weekly chore it's not as bad anymore. This trimmer has performed week in and week out for 2 1/2 hrs at a time. The trimmer line is much easier to change and seems to last a fair amount of time. I have to change batteries of course but I love that there is no gas, oil, pulling cords, noise, fumes etc. I now have the chainsaw, lawnmower, hedge trimmer and leaf blower which I use daily. I just wish Greenworks had a 60V de-thatcher.
I bought this a month ago and am so pleased. I bought the extra battery and so far I have not needed it. Ditch the corded and the gas. Battery is definitely the way to go.
I love my Trimmer I have purchased the edger attachment from another brand and it fits no problem. all my tools are 40V Greenworks Tools, nothing compares!
I would recommend this to a friend!
