Oh my goodness, I would never have figured this out and this was Super easy after watching this video. You may not see this comment so long after creating, but if you do, Thank You!!!
Never have I ever had the pleasure of working with such a sophisticated trimmer. I honestly had no idea it had this feature so the first few times I was manually spooling the line every time I had to replace it. This is THE coolest feature a trimmer can have. My wife and I both agree we are never going back to other products after experiencing EGO machines. Thank you EGO for these brilliant machines and thank you Mr. Video Man for this video.
Thx you for this video . I'm goin to save it . I have two EGO STRING TRIMMERS and didn't know how to put new string in it . This video was Awesome and easy to do. Thx you Thx you Thx you so much . 1st time trying to do it by myself. My dad is 93 and forgot how to do it. 🎉🎉🎉 PS: the book that came with this weed eater was hard to understand. The video was a Blessin 🎉🎉🎉
THANK YOU! My manual has disappeared and now, I know how to rewind the line! It was so easy and now I don't have to rely on ANYONE to do it for me! Now, to tackle the jungle!
Excellent! If you'd like another copy of the manual, they're available for download on our site. You can also give us a call at 1-855-346-5656, if you'd rather a hard copy.
This doesn't seem to work - it just unravels once started. I've tried winding the cord in both directions in case I stuffed up. But no luck. What have I missed?
A sentiment I have at almost every encounter. It amazes me to see some commentators with their vitriolic attack on a video. Never do they take stock of the fact that the video was never imposed upon them AND it's FREE. Now, yes, if it's just clickbait and it is poorly done and loose with the facts, yes, it may deserve criticism. But the material put out my ordinary folks--some with extraordinary talent and dedication deserves only praise.
This is just like any other trimmer. Unfortunately my trimmer doesn’t have the removable spool and this method won’t work. This is strike two, some the last video referred to a winding button which is also absent from my ego trimmer. Suggestions?
This is how I normally replace on my other trimmers, but it doesn't work on this spool and I buy the EGO trimmer line. As soon as I bump the trimmer to give me more line, it all unravels and causes a mess and has hit my ankles more than once. So ,what am I left with - buying the spool accessory which is $10 - crazy
I love my Ego 21 inch mower but I glad I watch this video with the trimmer instructions...I think I am going to pass ...is there another line load option?
Sharpen the cutting blade with a file, and just give small bumps on a hard surface such as concrete while at full speed. Buying a good quality tough 2.0mm line such as Sufix Duo Square will also make a huge difference. Barely need to bump mine at all even after hitting steel/concrete etc, and only takes one small bump now and then to get back to length.
I don't really understand what that means, but if you are implying that they present no physical challenge, I beg to differ. It is next to impossible for me to remove the cap on my trimmer. It has the mechanism where you are to press into two side tabs while simultaneously lifting up. I have a bit of arthritis. It is next to an impossible goal for me. I think I'll get a new trimmer. It shouldn't be this hard.
What am I doing wrong. I've threaded as shown in the video but when I go to weed eat the string comes out at an alarming rate without me touching the bumper to make it spit out more string.
This style head is absolutely awful. The fact that you have to literally take the head/cap off everytime to reload is ridiculous. The rapid reload head or the newest powerload is lightyears better.
This is the stupidest design ever. Every 2 mins I have to stop and rewind or unjam the spool string. It's driving me nuts. There must be a better head replacement for this. I'm over it. Hooking over and winding over, the string doesn't stay, the hook comes off, it's beyond frustrating.

Wow that was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Good video!
That video made it so easy. I have tried to do this task several times before to very little success.
never would have known how to do that..
THANK YOU!!

Thanks so much for this video...I HATE trying to figure out the instructions in the manual. Awesome call EGO.
I keep having to come back to this video with my 2016 weed eater because I keep forgetting how simple it is. 😊
As soon as I can sell all my old school yard gear at our next garage sale, I'm buying the Ego mower, blower and edger.
Have a hunch you're going to love it!
great thing to know, I was not doing that correctly. Good easy to understand video, thanks

Maybe a problem with the spring inside the bump mechanism
Thank you. This was very helpful
Thank god for the internet.

Thank you so much. Insanely easy...
Saved forever.
Thank god, I couldn't find the manual
Just as reference, you can also download the manual from our product page here: egopowerplus.com/15-inch-string-trimmer/

...is there another line load option?
wepage4 this trimmer is 4 years old bud , the new one is self Fed
Is there any accessory available to make it power wind, or are there blade type replacements? Love my ego trimmer but the bump feed is hit or miss.

Am loving Ego Products, they are women friendly.

Brian Coady I don’t know what you did to your trimmer, but mine is 5 years old and I’m still able to remove the cap easily....
I can’t remove mine either. Its made for man hands.
Thank you 🙂👍
Thank You!
There are no release tabs on the spool retainer for my model.
Awesome vid
Awesome. Thanks!
Thanks!
Is there a upgrade for this head? Ive got this style on my new 1304e trimmer and would like AH1500 style reload. Thoughts?

The rapid reload head or the newest powerload is lightyears better.
The spool is screwed into the spool retainer. Remove to wind?
Can I use .095 string replacement?
Absolutely- that's exactly what we recommend. Just make sure it’s not a squared line.
Thanks for the reply.
Thanks
It is extremely hard to wind the spool. In fact, it wouldn’t do it. I can’t recommend.
Mine has no arrow showing the direction of winding. Wish he would say clockwise or counyer clockwise.
Then you have a different model
Don't be telling my wife that's 4"!!
IM doing something wrong! When I put the spool in the retainer and put the strings where they go, It then just all unwinds...
Give us a buzz, Chad. We're here to help! 1-855-346-5656
can I use a string thicker than 0.095 or at least use the twisted one? thanks
Twisted is okay, but we really don't recommend anything thicker than 0.095".
ok thanks....as it turns out, this isn't the right head anyway:)
the rapid load thing is pretty cool
THANKS!

Fuck this.
I have the latest model with the power head
Feed in a few metres of wire and push the button.
Done. Dont even have to pull the head apart.
