Super helpful. The string wasn't feeding properly and I was stressing out 😂 great video
Thanks for watching!
I just bought the same 80V HF trimer. I used it till the factory fill of line ran out. Then before I even tried to or took the head apart. I watched your very clear video several times. After some 50 years of using trimers. The line change on this 80v beast was almost to easy. Thanks for your video. 5 stars.
Thanks for watching!
This was so much easier than trying to figure out what they wrote in the manual. Trying to get an early start and almost got discouraged because I needed to re-string . Thank you!😊
Thanks for watching!
THANK YOU! My boyfriend has had two hand surgeries this summer which left the more difficult yard work to me for the first time in over 20 years. I was SO lost!
Thanks so much for your VERY informative video. I got this exact trimmer last year. Restringing it has been a nightmare. I just put it away last night after I fought with it for half an hour or more. Never did get it restrung. I'm gonna try it again!
This sure doesnbeat trying to decipher the poorly written instructions. Thanks so much.
Thank you, I forget how it's done every time I need to change it. At my age, it's more pressure than I can stand.
Lol thanks for watching
Thank you. It was more clear, about that line and arrow lining up, than in another video I saw. As I have about 4 Atlas 40V yard tools, I have 2 batteries for those, other batteries for Warrior and Bauer power tools and their associated chargers, where I keep the tools in the garage and the batteries and chargers in one of those cases, in my car, because I’m working on a house, that has no power. I can just charge the batteries at my apartment or work. I’ve learned how to tighten the chain on the 40V pole saw. Now I can replace the trimmer line on the trimmer, too. And, like someone else said, I don’t have to do all the yard work, in a day and, for me, the pole saw will become used the least, next the pole trimmer, then the blower, then the line trimmer. I also assume the 40V is lighter to work with, than 80V. As an older woman, that helps.
Thanks buddy, thanks to you I was able to use mine for the first time in over a year!
Glad it helped out! Thanks for watching.
You made a Great video! I’m now back to work thank you. I should’ve kept my instructions when I bought this but I’m so glad you made a video thank you again…
Awesome glad it helped out!
Thank you for this. Helped me not mess up my first time restringing
This video was awesome! Very easy to follow and guess what? It actually worked... Thank you so much! 😁
Thank you for your help. Your video is very clear. For some reasonm, my weed eater (same model 80V from Harbor Freight) was very difficult to turn to feed the line into the spool.
ME TOO!
Just an FYI, as in TexTom's comment, you have to push down on the pump head and turn it. I was having problems turning it also. WRO made it look so easy
Really wanted to love this trimmer right up until went to replace the string….then saw this video and loved it again
Awesome video, I purchased the 80v Atlas line of tools 3 weeks ago, trimmer,blower,mower,chain saw and pole chain saw, it was time to replace the factory line in trimmer, thanks for the tips and braving the rain. Atlas tools 👍
Thanks for watching
Great video!!! To the point and simple
Glad you liked it!!
Back here again.. This is such a life saver.. u make it so simple, that I 4 get how easy it is 😂 Tks buddy, 4 makin & keepin this 1 up 👍❤.
Glad to help out!
I agree that this video makes clear what to do and why. Good job
Thanks for watching!
I was totally struggling with this until watching your video. Thank you so much for making this.
Glad it helped!
The video was great! NOW A NEW SUBSCRIBER.....
Awesome! Thank you!
Just finished restringing mine . Great tutorial! Ty
Mr Williamson Sir: I wa❤❤❤nt to thank u so very much for this video, now I can weed wack longer..i wasn't sure I had the windup type, because this one belonged to the old man & I 've been do it on my own, but u showed me how to and i followed & did it. Great instructor!❤
Holy Toledo a real answer to all my Atlas string trimmer reloading problems. Landscaper boyfriend didn’t even get this right. 😂 I almost snatch myself bald trying to wrap that dang string around the cartridge. THANK YOU and keep them coming.
Lol thanks for watching!
Thanks for making this how to video. I am a few months shy of 68 and needed new line for my Atlas. Your lesson was very helpful.
Glad it helped!
Perfect, thank you, I was skeptical at first because you made it look easy, and it was. Thank you.
Thank you for making this. I threw away the instructions long time ago & I tried for 30+ mins to figure this out 😂
Glad I could help!
I have had a hard time back turning the bottom to load the string. Last year after 2 years I returned the weed eater and got another because I bought the insurance. All I paid was another 14+$ to renew the insurance for 2 more years. My new one is acting like my old one and is nearly impossible to turn. I use a pair of channel locks to turn it while holding the housing. Today I even took apart and greased up what I could and that helped a bit. I wish mine was as easy to turn as yours. I may take it back apart soon and clean everything with de-greaser and then sand the inside of the housing with 320 - 400 grit paper then wipe down with alcohol and see how it works then.
I’ve had a few people make comments about it being hard to turn maybe the quality control on that part isn’t perfect and some are inconsistent, cause others say it really easy sanding may help just make sure to smooth it out good afterwards
You have to push down on the pump head to turn it
This head IA exact same as my toro 51830 mod. It gets hard to turn too I had .95 line may be change to .80 wait until you see ho to take the head off
Thank you for this video. It helped me a lot.
Thank you so much! You are truly and greatly appreciated! 😊
I keep forgetting how, but then I remember your awesome video! Many thanks!!
Awesome thanks for watching!
Thank your video was the perfect instruction. Got my first try. Amazing . I can now clean it , string it .thank you. Good luck & bless you.
Thanks for watching!
Great vid. What I also do is follow the same steps up until you twist. I use thicker string so I actually after loading the string, push the two tabs on the side to semi open it and twist my strings in that way and then close it up. Much smoother for me with the thicker strings . Try it out. Let me know.
Thanks for the video! I've never replaced string this easy. Maybe I've been doing it wrong all along. Thanks again!
I bought this in 2019 they must have updated it because it was a pain to restring! Thank you for the video!
Thank you my friend! This is very helpful.
Glad it helped!
I watched this video did exactly as it says and Timmerman works and feed line like its supposed to. THANK YOU POSTER
Thank you! you saved me a lot of time and aggravation!
thank you...i could not get the wire to roll up...but didnt know i could open the hub....with your help i did and found the culprit....old wire all tangled.....thnx again.
Thanks for watching
Great job on the instructions, even the handicapped guy got this.
Lol
You've just saved me a whole lot of time and frustration. Thank you, sir!
Glad I could help!
It's a little tricky, but I found out to look in the hole and line up the spool inside...it actually takes the arrows apart slightly. THAT is the only difference I would suggest...to turn the spool head until you actually see the string's channel on the internal spool. Mine does not simply line up directly opposite of the outside holes. But you'll see the channel where the string goes and after that, breezy. Push down with your palm on the bump head and turn. Could be smoother, but still works. Wish it'd take more than 10' at a time. I love this trimmer. Lots of power to get through St. Augustine grass and runners.
That is so awesome! Thank you so much
Thank you my friend I been having issues with line not coming out when I tap it on the ground. I’m going to try what you did to see if I can get mine to work right.
Also make sure you wind it the correct direction or it won’t come out when you tap it
“ super easy “ instructional video, well done. I love my atlas pole saw, just purchased this weed eater and the blower and thought as a homeowner and not a professional I would never buy enough to justify the purchase the $30 club card but I saved $22.50 with the club card on these two items alone today. I’m pretty sure I’ll save more than $7.50 over the next year in addition to the already low price savings.
Absolute gold, you saved me from myself! Thank you!!
I love harbor freight!.
Thanks for making the video I have the exact same trimmer but the process isn't nearly as easy for me because when I try to put the trimmer line through the head like that it never seems to want to go out the opposite side right and then once I do get it through the opposite side and even it out it's extremely hard to turn it counterclockwise to basically wind in the entire length of my trimmer line, it almost feels like I have to open about 100 super hard to turn pickle jars to turn it even though I eventually get it done but it really isn't nearly as easy as it looks on the video for you or at least not for me anyways but cool video anyways and thanks for sharing!
You may have some built up debris in the trimmer head, have you taken it completely off and cleaned it out?
@@WilliamsonRidge yes I did.
Thank You so much!!! Great video……simple to follow and understand.👍🏻
Thanks for watching
Thank you for the great tutorial. Much appreciated!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this video....been trying to figure out a more simpler way for my Atlas since last summer....lol👍🏾
Glad it helped thanks for watching
Thank you, a real time saver!
First time I went to put in new line I discovered my husband had thrown out the manual!!!! 😳 Thank you, thank you! You explained it so well that this 68 year old woman did it all by herself!!
Awesome glad to help!
Damn! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing. Saved me a lot of time
Awesome demo. Thank you so much.
Thanks so much for showing how to do this! I bought my atlas with no instructions. Again thanks
Glad I could help!
Great video, thank you sir! I’m a HFT Store Manager and we need your videos on our website!
Awesome that would be great!
I have fought with this trimmer ever since I bought it. This makes all things clear (I was prejudiced from past trimmers). HF should send you a royalty check. 5:10 - nice thunder effect :)
Lol thanks for watching!
This video is everything for a person who gets irritated with her lawn care tools 😂
Thank you showed us in a way that was easy to understand
Thanks for watching!
I I really struggle trying to replace the sting in this trimmer. I actually tore the skin off of my hand trying to turn the knob to wind the string. It is NOT easy. I finally gave up and bought a different trimmer! I am so disappointed as I have an Atlas mower and would have loved to have the trimmer work for me as well. Unfortunately I cannot return the trimmer as I bought it last year. My son replaced the string a few times for me but he isn’t always available when I need it restrung.
And yes I took it apart and cleaned it from any debris. Just in case anyone was wondering
Maybe there is a bit of inconsistency in quality control but I’ve had no trouble with mine.
Great video, thanks alot.
Thank You for the video!
Thank you, it was very helpful and informative!
Awesome thanks for watching!
Thank you so much...I have been fighting this thing
thanks! super helpful
Great video. Thanks!!✌️
THANK YOU!
Very helpful. Thanks
Awesome!
Nice job
Thanks!
Great Video 👍🏽
I use aluminum window lube spray on the plastic. It seems to keep everything moving so line doesnt bind. My dad uses lithium spray and I guess silicon could work too...just not something oily or overly greasy. Good dry lube film helps keep the feeder button free! Thanks for the great vid!😉💢💯💢👌👍💪👊🤙
Great tip!
Life saver🔥
Thank you! That really helped me!
Thanks for watching!
Excellent video…thank you
Thank you sir. Helped me out.
awesome thank you for the video I lost my manual lol #lifesaver
thank you
Thank you for your video
Thanks for watching!
Is it possible to install a blade on these atlas trimmers? I have a 40V. If possible, not sure what I’d need exactly. I purchased a conversion kit with the thrust washer, rider plate and collar nut. It doesn’t fit at all as if something is missing that I need.
Not that I know of, i haven’t tried to see if the one for my other trimmers will fit, I think echo actually makes a battery trimmer you can put a blade on, may check their kit to see if it may interchange
Ty ,very nice, explained. Good job 👏
Thanks!
Excellent video; video was so accurate, it started raining when I was feeding the trimmer 😂 ☔️ 🌱.
Obligatory Liked and Sub’d 👍▶️
Lol I try to be as accurate as possible.
As others have said. The instructions were unclear. Stick stuck in toaster😅😅😂😂 thank your for the straightforward and easy directions 👏 🍺
Glad it helped!
THANK YOU!!!!!
Glad to help!
“ you mean to tell me I’ve been doing it for 40 years the wrong way” 😅😅😅😅
Lol
Thanks, man!
Thanks, big help.
THANK YOU
thanks!!
You're welcome!
Thank you 🫡
Thanks, great video. This is always a hassle for me.
The counterclockwise turn is very difficult. Taping on the ground does not advance the string as your trimmer did. I like the product but it is not a smooth operation for me, so far. I'll keep trying.. Thanks, very good video.
Make sure you are pushing in when you try to turn the head, and when you tap the ground make sure to pull the trigger the head has to be spinning pretty fast to sling the line out
Thanks...I'm now ready to go.
Glad it helped out!
#Salute thank you! I have to do this soon!
Muy bueno 👍😊
Appreciate ya!
Reasonably priced
Hmmm. I HATE winding trimmer line. The tool description sounded like the TOOL did the winding, like maybe you did the bump thing and it would suck it all in. My previous trimmer had spools to pop in, shut and ready to go. I still have spools. (the tool is my son's, he is on the road for his job, so guess who gets to put new line in....) I am still going to look for another trimmer like my previous one. This trimmer would be much better if it had spools to just pop in and go.
Whats the best size trimmer line does it use?
I like using the .095 myself but that’s just my personal preference it can use .080 or .095 either one
I’ve got pretty strong hands, and my hands are bruised from trying to turn this thing. But it is working.
I have heard that some are hard to turn, but are you pushing in while turning
