Very few people have strong enough fingers to open the tabs. Thanks for description how to use screwdriver, that's what I have to do and other friends have to do the same.
Thanks @bobb8738…I am recovering from heart surgery- plus 10 days in the hospital withe bronchitis and double bacterial pneumonia- chronic asthma and starting to get old- ha ha Blessed to be alive! I won’t get so stressed when I can’t get the tabs pushed in withe just my fingers!
Yeah, plus it gets grass gunk and fibers in there that cake up the release clips and make them more difficult to manipulate without tools like a flathead
thank you so very much. single lady here I bought a great EGO string trimmer 2nd hand. First use was great but now one side is stuck and wont feed. I could no longer finish my job. Your video saved me. I emptied out the short line, refilled it and voila! Back in business. I am a new subscriber. May many thanks
Thank you very much for these well addressed directions respooling the Ego ! I was in a jam saying to my self, “ What is this green button for at the power head” ! Sure enough the string disappeared in the power head , lol 😅😅😅😂😂 . I found you and was able to respool the head .
Thank you for this! Just purchased one and have used up the preloaded line. Got new line in following your instructions! I love this string trimmer it's light and easy to use for a 65 yr old woman! I recommend!
Spot on. Great majority of the advice I found first was, essentially, "flip the switch and bam there's the light." Uh if I didn't know how to flip a switch, I may not have made it on-line. I could not rethread, weedwhip lacked on-board advice due to accessive tapping. I could see the obstruction was likely due to remmnants of the prior feed, but I didn't know how to simply open up the thing and clear it. Though the instruction appeared upside down to me, it got me back in the yard. So, thanks.
This was a really well done video from start to finish. Answered all of my questions and had me back up and running in 5 minutes. One of the best how to videos I've come across!
Excellent video. I struggled for a a half hour to get the cap off. Your tip on using a screwdriver saved the day. Removed the line and used the power head to rewind. Works a treat. Thank you!
My fingers are on the losing side of this task every time. So while I did go to a flathead screwdriver, I was doing it downward, not upward as you do. Your tip is MUCH easier, thank you! (It's the smallest things that make the biggest difference.) 💯⭐💯
Thanks for pointing out MOST people will need to use scewdriver or something to open tabs. I don't know who has strong enough fingers to open the tabs!
@@bobb8738 agree. I'm older and I did have trouble winding the string and getting the tabs compressed. I had to get the screwdriver as well. I was surprised have to say, reality check I guess, between arthritis in some joints and not real strong hands, it was difficult to get it rewound, but I did.
Thanks for the great video. I've been wanting to purchase a line trimmer for years. Finally got one. And lucky me, the EGO trimmers run on 56V batteries so I don't have to worry about petrol. It's really quiet when it runs so the neighbours are happy. AND the Powerload head makes loading fresh line a breeze. Cheers from the Land Down Under.

I had trouble getting it off to reload. I wasn't sure if it's supposed to just pop off or what after you compress the tabs, or if you're supposed to pull it.
Succinct and to the point making it one of the better instructional videos I have watched, most like to gab about the weather and their camping plans for the summer, this is a good example of how to make concise watchable videos. Thank you for your time.
I just bought one of these ego trimmers and the guy from Lowe's told me to just check out RUclips for how to do the auto load. Your vid was at the top and I just wanted to let you know how awesomely easy you made it for me to follow. Plus, you have ALL of the trimmers hanging on your wall...so I know you're legit. New sub here.
Got here from your original video. Another excellent video!! Thanks so much for adding the tip for using the screw driver. Those tabs look like a beast to push in.
Just bought the EGO trimmer...was loosing it until I saw your video...WOW...So simple...The documentation doesn't clearly explain how to fix a jammed head. THANKS...took 1 mintue to load and spin down..!!!
Another great how to video!! Thank you so much for posting, these videos are very helpful especially for newbie's like myself. Many thanks once again!!
You are right, it is hard to put that cap back on. It was even harder with the Rapid Reload head. Especially the original one. I have just got the new trimmer with the Line IQ and I am glad to say that they have re-done almost everything on it. Specific to your comment, it is so much easier to open and close the head. I am currently shooting the video for this and will have comprehensive videos live soon.
@@AroundTheHome1 You Rock! Don't suppose you have video on how to replace belts on an OLD Troy Bilt rider mower...or, something similar. Not only do I have to learn how to do everything that breaks, am also a luddite and don't know how to search through your videos. I've told my old, hag gal pals about your videos and how comprehensive and helpful they are!!! Hope it garners more viewers for your excellent instructional videos. Thank you so much.
Well, you are very welcome. I have a lot of videos, so I understand it may be hard to find everything you might need. I would suggest to go to my channel and go through the playlists. www.youtube.com/@AroundTheHome1/playlists Also I have a website that, at least I feel, makes it easier to find the videos. www.aroundthehome.org/ Oh and I am afraid that I do not have videos on changing mower belts.
You are great at explaining the trimmer. I have anST1510T and the line that came with it ran out. Now I will try to install my replacement string for the fisrt time with the help of your video. After 3 times I finally made it work I would load it and use it a shortly the sting would not come out. It just stayed inside the trimmer. I did my best to keep the line straight but I believe it wasn't.
Thank you for the video. In fact I don’t waste the long one, instead I pull the short one out while pushing in the middle and redo the last step so they go inside evenly
Nice video. I must add, for personal safety, to please remove the battery pack before attempting to remove the head. That spinning string can cause some serious injuries.
I just saw a dog today that tried to attack a weed eater - fortunately, the guy realized the dog was coming and managed to get the weed eater out of the path of the dog before the dog got it's face taken off. It was bruised and bleeding a little, but it happened very fast. Put your pets in the house for their sake when you're weed eating. That string really can hurt you and your pets.
Hi, Helpful video. I'm a bit confused about the string usage. The amount of string installed, how do you know it's time to change the string? Does new string get used with every use? If your string is too short (mine came installed), can I extend the existing string a bit, or do I need to re-string with a new rope?
Hey there. I think the video that I gave you the link to will help you with most of these questions. These trimmers use bump heads, so they only extend the string when you "bump" them. Unless the string gets jammed, when it gets too short, it will fly out. Thanks for asking this question, I reviewed the video and added chapters to it to help out. Hopefully that answers your questions, but if you have more then please ask. And here is our webpage with everything EGO on it. www.aroundthehome.org/ego-power-plus.html
I got that piece off before I knew about the auto winder feature and had the thing sitting in my closet for weeks before I saw your previous video lol. Thanks again! How tall are you? I'm about 5'10" so your arms might be longer than mine when trying to judge trimmer line length.
That is awesome! Glad to help. I am also 5'10" so probably about the same arm length. But just go for 14' length on the new string and you should be good.
Does the shape of the string make a difference when reloading the string? I have a spool of 0.95 round string left over from my previous trimmer. When I attempt to thread it through the holes I notice a great deal of resistance threading it to the other side. Once it is threaded it doesn’t want to reload the string. It was very easy to load the small amount of string that came with the trimmer but it was the twisted type. So…does the shape make a difference? It seems like it wouldn’t.
It does actually. I didn't think it would at first, but this is confirmed by many of my viewers. You should use a twisted line for best performance with any of the EGO heads.
@Theresa DeBari even though I haven't had this problem, I have had other viewers that have. It is typical that something has gotten caught up under the bump head. It would need to be removed to clear whatever is up there. Here is a video of mine replacing the head so you can learn how to remove it and re-install it. ruclips.net/video/RoTYJrLqf7U/видео.html Good luck.
I have the ST1521S and have been having trouble since the 2nd year of using trying to get the string to load when I press the power load button. Been working with Ego support, but there final decision was that the head was worn out and to buy a new one. The entire head will spin, and the line never gets pulled in. I disagree with Ego about the head being worn out, this is only the third time in the three years of using it that I've had to load string into. I've since found a work around since searching this issue on the web, and that is to press the power load button, and at the same time hold in the black ring on the bottom of the head around the bump feed button. This helps the head to stop spinning and then loads the line. This happened to me the second time I tried to load string and I got it to work by disassembling and cleaning the head, the third time loading the string this hasn't help so I have to do the two handed maneuver. I paid alot for this trimmer, and just wish Ego would make it right, any thoughts?
This has helped most of my viewers that have trouble with the Powerload head pulling in the string. If long grass / hay / twine or anything else gets stuck between the head and the motor can cause loading problems. Here is my video on replacing the head which would help you to remove it and clean out anything stuck in there. Hope it helps. ruclips.net/video/RoTYJrLqf7U/видео.html
Thanks for this video. Honestly, this trimmer gets jammed way too easily and I'm starting to think it's a design flaw. It's got power for days, but it gets jammed a little too frequently.
Mine does not feed easily at all. I have put it aside after trying several times and gone back to my old reliable trimmer. Find this particular EGO product is a frustrating piece of junk. One hour to load the sting to do 20 minutes worth of work.Terrible engineering.@@AroundTheHome1
Love this video. It was very helpful. I have a question. Once you have put the sting, why did you leave one string "just right" and the other "a little long"? What is the purpose for the longer string? Thank you.☺
You know, I have to say that your level of detail is amazing. There is no reason for the longer string. The head normally sits that way so when you pull them out one side is a bit longer then the other. That is all. The longer side will be chopped off as soon as you start using it.
Thanks alot for this video I just purchase this trimmer and it jammed up on me were the string was only hanging out on side . Now I know how to fix it .
I have issues with just one side of cord breaking when using trimmer then I have to redo stringing tool. Any ideas why just one side of string breaks when using? Any help would be appreciated. Nice video by the way.
Great video. I have a echo thats kinda driving me crazy .. Love this load mechanism. Seems ,so ez ...my question is ...how long does the battery last . I do a few customer , a day . And does it come with one battery or two ..
@Edgardo Matos, if you are using the small 2.5 Ah battery with this trimmer it will get done one yard basically. I edge my front drive, sidewalk, porch, flower bed, side yard, fence line, rear porch, deck, and can do my neighbors front before the battery dies. Here is an old video of mine that shows how far I ran before the battery died. ruclips.net/video/WFw6gecOx0s/видео.html
I picked one of these up recently and used it the first time the other day....omg....so much easier.... The question that I have though....and not sure this is the right place to ask because I'm looking at your solid green grime there....but I usually wash everything off when I'm done....and I'm worried if water to this can mess anything up (with the battery removed of course)
This is the right place to ask. I hope that you are not suggesting that I don't take care of my tools because there is grass still on my trimmer. This tool is weather resistant, but not meant to be hosed off. The motor of the tool is in the head, so spraying water in there is bad for the motor and main bearings. You wipe it off with paper towels, and that is why mine looks like that.
Thank you! Can you help with the challenge of really curly trimmer line? I noticed yours is not that curly but mine is so its still fiddly trying to load it.
Question, whenever I do this and began to use it, my line unravels extending extra line. I have to repeat the steps multiple times before eventually the line gets caught up and no longer comes out. Then I have to open it and pull it free, any suggestions?
@2 Wheeled Social Worker thanks for your question. And sorry to hear that you are having troubles with your trimmer. I am unfortunately not familiar with this problem, and with all the time that I have had these and my videos, this is only the second or third time that I have heard of this. And one of the times was not on the PowerLoad head, but the Rapid Reload head. So, I guess I have 2 possible things to say at the moment. First, did you just buy this one? You might just exchange it for another. Second, whether it is brand new or not it is possible that the nut holding on the head is either too tight or not tight enough. I have a video where I replace the head. Here is that link and it should start right before I install the nut that holds it together. Of course it would might make more sense if you watch the whole video, but here is the link ruclips.net/video/RoTYJrLqf7U/видео.html
I couldn't find a good Amazon link at the time. Here is one. www.amazon.com/EGO-Power-AL2450S-ST1500-S-ST1500SF/dp/B01N39HQH5?crid=97RXC0BDWHX0&keywords=095%2Btwisted%2Btrimmer%2Bline&qid=1684680485&sprefix=.095%2Btw%2Caps%2C143&sr=8-5&th=1&linkCode=ll1&tag=greatwhitenin-20&linkId=d9dca90935f28dc501991292b6d71bf1&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
@@AroundTheHome1 It worked wonderfully for the first string, but the auto-reload didn't work when I went to refill it. No power at the reload button at all. I'm working on a warranty claim now.
Hey! I have a piece of trim line literally jammed in the center that I can’t get out! Any suggestions how to get it out so I can put a new line of trim through?
Mine has stopped loading, the head just turns. I can stop it turning by holding the head but it still doesn’t load the string. Tried taking it apart to see if it needs cleaning (following advice on some other RUclips videos) but the nut inside is too tight to remove! Can I load the string manually as per older models?
I have some good tips on how to remove the powerload head in this video. ruclips.net/video/RoTYJrLqf7U/видео.html There is probably something wrapped around under it.

Hi, Helpful video. I'm a bit confused about the string usage. The amount of string installed, how do you know it's time to change the string? Does new string get used with every use? If your string is too short (mine came installed), can I extend the existing string a bit, or do I need to re-string with a new rope?
Hey there. I think the video that I gave you the link to will help you with most of these questions. These trimmers use bump heads, so they only extend the string when you "bump" them. Unless the string gets jammed, when it gets too short, it will fly out. Thanks for asking this question, I reviewed the video and added chapters to it to help out. Hopefully that answers your questions, but if you have more then please ask. And here is our webpage with everything EGO on it. www.aroundthehome.org/ego-power-plus.html
Really well done. Thank you.

Thank you!!! Very helpful 🎉
You are very welcome! 👍
I got that piece off before I knew about the auto winder feature and had the thing sitting in my closet for weeks before I saw your previous video lol. Thanks again!
How tall are you? I'm about 5'10" so your arms might be longer than mine when trying to judge trimmer line length.
That is awesome! Glad to help. I am also 5'10" so probably about the same arm length. But just go for 14' length on the new string and you should be good.
Thank you. Helped me out of my bind.
You're welcome! 😎
Thank you so much and you saved my day.

Does the shape of the string make a difference when reloading the string? I have a spool of 0.95 round string left over from my previous trimmer. When I attempt to thread it through the holes I notice a great deal of resistance threading it to the other side. Once it is threaded it doesn’t want to reload the string. It was very easy to load the small amount of string that came with the trimmer but it was the twisted type. So…does the shape make a difference? It seems like it wouldn’t.
It does actually. I didn't think it would at first, but this is confirmed by many of my viewers. You should use a twisted line for best performance with any of the EGO heads.
My power loader spins around instead of winding in the line. And the head with the Ego logo gets hot 🔥. I see yours bounces as it loads the line.
@Theresa DeBari even though I haven't had this problem, I have had other viewers that have. It is typical that something has gotten caught up under the bump head. It would need to be removed to clear whatever is up there. Here is a video of mine replacing the head so you can learn how to remove it and re-install it. ruclips.net/video/RoTYJrLqf7U/видео.html Good luck.
Excellent!
I have the ST1521S and have been having trouble since the 2nd year of using trying to get the string to load when I press the power load button. Been working with Ego support, but there final decision was that the head was worn out and to buy a new one. The entire head will spin, and the line never gets pulled in. I disagree with Ego about the head being worn out, this is only the third time in the three years of using it that I've had to load string into. I've since found a work around since searching this issue on the web, and that is to press the power load button, and at the same time hold in the black ring on the bottom of the head around the bump feed button. This helps the head to stop spinning and then loads the line. This happened to me the second time I tried to load string and I got it to work by disassembling and cleaning the head, the third time loading the string this hasn't help so I have to do the two handed maneuver. I paid alot for this trimmer, and just wish Ego would make it right, any thoughts?
This has helped most of my viewers that have trouble with the Powerload head pulling in the string. If long grass / hay / twine or anything else gets stuck between the head and the motor can cause loading problems. Here is my video on replacing the head which would help you to remove it and clean out anything stuck in there. Hope it helps. ruclips.net/video/RoTYJrLqf7U/видео.html
@@AroundTheHome1 Yep, I've completely removed the head and cleaned what little debris that was in it and still doesn't work correctly.
You're the man. Thanks for this!

The shaft/retaining nut that holds the spool is below the line feed.

Thanks for this video. Honestly, this trimmer gets jammed way too easily and I'm starting to think it's a design flaw. It's got power for days, but it gets jammed a little too frequently.
I find that interesting. Mine almost never jams. Like in the 3 years that I have had it, I think like one time.
Mine does not feed easily at all. I have put it aside after trying several times and gone back to my old reliable trimmer. Find this particular EGO product is a frustrating piece of junk. One hour to load the sting to do 20 minutes worth of work.Terrible engineering.@@AroundTheHome1
Love this video. It was very helpful. I have a question. Once you have put the sting, why did you leave one string "just right" and the other "a little long"? What is the purpose for the longer string? Thank you.☺
You know, I have to say that your level of detail is amazing. There is no reason for the longer string. The head normally sits that way so when you pull them out one side is a bit longer then the other. That is all. The longer side will be chopped off as soon as you start using it.
Thanks alot for this video I just purchase this trimmer and it jammed up on me were the string was only hanging out on side . Now I know how to fix it .

I have issues with just one side of cord breaking when using trimmer then I have to redo stringing tool. Any ideas why just one side of string breaks when using? Any help would be appreciated. Nice video by the way.
Great video. I have a echo thats kinda driving me crazy ..
Love this load mechanism. Seems ,so ez ...my question is ...how long does the battery last .
I do a few customer , a day . And does it come with one battery or two ..
@Edgardo Matos, if you are using the small 2.5 Ah battery with this trimmer it will get done one yard basically. I edge my front drive, sidewalk, porch, flower bed, side yard, fence line, rear porch, deck, and can do my neighbors front before the battery dies. Here is an old video of mine that shows how far I ran before the battery died. ruclips.net/video/WFw6gecOx0s/видео.html
I love this weed eater
It really is great.

I picked one of these up recently and used it the first time the other day....omg....so much easier....
The question that I have though....and not sure this is the right place to ask because I'm looking at your solid green grime there....but I usually wash everything off when I'm done....and I'm worried if water to this can mess anything up (with the battery removed of course)
This is the right place to ask. I hope that you are not suggesting that I don't take care of my tools because there is grass still on my trimmer. This tool is weather resistant, but not meant to be hosed off. The motor of the tool is in the head, so spraying water in there is bad for the motor and main bearings. You wipe it off with paper towels, and that is why mine looks like that.
Thank you! Can you help with the challenge of really curly trimmer line? I noticed yours is not that curly but mine is so its still fiddly trying to load it.
Sounds like you need to ditch that line and get yourself some new, better line.
Question, whenever I do this and began to use it, my line unravels extending extra line. I have to repeat the steps multiple times before eventually the line gets caught up and no longer comes out. Then I have to open it and pull it free, any suggestions?
@2 Wheeled Social Worker thanks for your question. And sorry to hear that you are having troubles with your trimmer. I am unfortunately not familiar with this problem, and with all the time that I have had these and my videos, this is only the second or third time that I have heard of this. And one of the times was not on the PowerLoad head, but the Rapid Reload head. So, I guess I have 2 possible things to say at the moment. First, did you just buy this one? You might just exchange it for another. Second, whether it is brand new or not it is possible that the nut holding on the head is either too tight or not tight enough. I have a video where I replace the head. Here is that link and it should start right before I install the nut that holds it together. Of course it would might make more sense if you watch the whole video, but here is the link ruclips.net/video/RoTYJrLqf7U/видео.html
Thanks for the info, it worked!!!!!

The one link you didn’t put was for the string haha
I couldn't find a good Amazon link at the time. Here is one. www.amazon.com/EGO-Power-AL2450S-ST1500-S-ST1500SF/dp/B01N39HQH5?crid=97RXC0BDWHX0&keywords=095%2Btwisted%2Btrimmer%2Bline&qid=1684680485&sprefix=.095%2Btw%2Caps%2C143&sr=8-5&th=1&linkCode=ll1&tag=greatwhitenin-20&linkId=d9dca90935f28dc501991292b6d71bf1&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
Thank you for your great instruction. My ST1623T reload button doesn't work. Is there a way to manually wind the string on this model?
That's the new one with the Line IQ. Did it used to work and now it doesn't? How new is this trimmer for you?
@@AroundTheHome1 It worked wonderfully for the first string, but the auto-reload didn't work when I went to refill it. No power at the reload button at all. I'm working on a warranty claim now.
I see, sorry to hear that. If it's still new can you just exchange it at the store?
Thanks!
Thank you very much!! 🤗👍And thank you for your support!
I was about to throw this thing away😡, but thank you for helping me👊🤣🤣🤣

Hey! I have a piece of trim line literally jammed in the center that I can’t get out! Any suggestions how to get it out so I can put a new line of trim through?
I assume that you have already pushed some line down there to push it out?
Mine has stopped loading, the head just turns. I can stop it turning by holding the head but it still doesn’t load the string.
Tried taking it apart to see if it needs cleaning (following advice on some other RUclips videos) but the nut inside is too tight to remove!
Can I load the string manually as per older models?
I have some good tips on how to remove the powerload head in this video. ruclips.net/video/RoTYJrLqf7U/видео.html There is probably something wrapped around under it.
Thanks!
You bet! And thank you so much for the support!! 💖🤗

Well done, great personality. Did you put your knife back in your pocket without folding it? You're a beast if you did.
Thank you, but I did fold it first. I fold it one handed and put it back in my pocket in one swift move.
