If you wouldn't mind i would greatly appreciate a subscribe. RUclips took away my monitization until i can get 1000 subscribers. Would greatly appreciate it! Thanks for watching.
Thanks, I just bought a very nice unit second-hand and experimented with loading line. This video shows a couple tricks I didn't know. I have seen others suggest keeping your stock of trimmer line in water. I have a larger Stihl trimmer that I have the three blade head for. It was suggested to keep the replacement blades in water, so that makes sense on the line.
Hey great vid. Another way is to do the following 1.cut one piece of line 2.place both ends of line in holes 3.wrap around spool 4.place lines in 2.0 or 2.4 5.cut line creating two lines
THANK YOU, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. YOUR VIDEO WAS THE ONLY ONE I WATCHED THAT SHOWED HOW TO DO IT RIGHT. THE LAST STEP OF REMOVING THE TWINE FROM THE HOLDERS, THAT WAS WHY I COULD NOT GET IT TO AUTO FEED. THANK YOU
I know this is 7 yrs old.. since then each MFG has made this process much much easier. I will suggest if you, like me, still have one of these units, prepare a cpl of 1" pieces of duct tape, especially if you have purchased a smaller Dia. line. Once you have finished your first wrap and clip into the retention slot...Tape that line down. don't count on that retention clip to hold that line like you'd think.... Don't ask me how I know
I just replaced mine. the string would NOT advance. I think your video might have solved my problem, string is probably still in the holding tabs ! Thanks
I had same problem with the line. My Stihl dealer suggested installing .095 line. Of course because it is thicker it will use a shorter length, but It is stronger and will last longer than the .080.
This unit is not meant to be disassembled to rewind , LOL.....I would suggest you take a few minutes to read the owners manual . The rewind process should take about 2 minutes . Just line up arrows and push fresh line into the holes and turn the bottom piece cc wise and your done .
Robt Smith FYI you have to disassemble auto cut 5-2 head to put line on. m.stihlusa.com/WebContent/CMSFileLibrary/InstructionManuals/STIHL-FS-38-Owners-Instruction-Manual.pdf page 17
There's different spool heads. Some are like what you're saying and some are like what's in this video. I have the one like in this video and it doesn't have arrows on it.

Watched three poorly done videos before finding yours. Yours is properly explained. Well done sir.

Thanks, thought I was doing something wrong, I thought the line had to stay in those tabs. Good to know they don't! Great video to relieve my mind

that or your weed eating and it completely disappears because the sting tightens up inside so it wont auto feed.
very nice dude...straight to the point!
Thanks so much, couldn't find my manual.this is better than a manual
Thank you so much, I know longer need to ask a neighbor for help ! Thanks again I got it

Thanks, man, great video, simple and right to the point.

Thanks dude i just looked smart in front of my dad and sister after watching this 👍
Awesome! Glad it helped.
Thanks mate big help. Legend
Just what I needed to know! Thank you!
Thank you! Good Video!
Excellent !!! Thanks
nice job mate--thanks for a great video
This is the hard way .just poke string straight through then twist to get equal lengths.much easier.
