Widow here, learning so much from you now that I have to take over on my own. All you married women, you can never tell your husband how great the yard looks enough!
@Rhonda Mims-Brown thanks for watching. Here are some more helpful videos for you. Here is a general, how to use a string trimmer.
czcams.com/video/TPqZn_qTmkY/video.html And since you are on the how to use the powerload trimmer, I'm guessing that is what you have. Here is my newest video on loading and unjamming it. czcams.com/video/vvZ40-TjwvM/video.html Here is my full EGO playlist with many great videos there. czcams.com/play/PLxwydrM6xLuXnc39AF0vaAYvLdauVFlBU.html And when you have other things to do Around The Home then here is my website link with pretty much all of my videos organized a little better then I can do on CZcams. There are also additional resources there. www.aroundthehome.org/
i have just recently purchased an EGo trimmer, haven't used it yet. and I'm GLAD i look this video up! Did not know the nice function of AUTO-BUM feed. awesome feature. thank you!
@Too much caffine you are welcome. Here is my detailed video for the Powerload trimmer system. czcams.com/video/vvZ40-TjwvM/video.html And this video in case you have the Rapid Reload head system. czcams.com/video/UwV79MyXdY8/video.html And here is my full EGO playlist for all your other EGO equipment. czcams.com/play/PLxwydrM6xLuXnc39AF0vaAYvLdauVFlBU.html
Mine does not extend when I bump it. I also don’t have the green collar. Perhaps I have a lower end or base model, but it still should work the same.
Wow! I really appreciate this. My husband has a gas trimmer which is way too heavy for me. The EGO tools are great but I'm a complete novice. You gave very clear directions on basics that will make me much more confident and competent. Thank you!
I have more specified videos for these trimmers, and more updated. Which one do you have, the PowerLoad head or the Rapid Reload head?
Awesome Video🤗 I’m a woman and first time using any garden tools and beginning my collection of ego tools.You explain everything so well that even us women who never have done yard work gain confidence thru ur videos that we can handle the job.Thanks
Thanks for the comments. Feel free to ask any questions you like.
As a single 51 yr woman, I cannot thank you enough for helping me be self sufficient! ❤️
Glad it helped! Here is a more specific video for the PowerLoad czcams.com/video/vvZ40-TjwvM/video.html and one for the Rapid Reload czcams.com/video/UwV79MyXdY8/video.html
I am a female. Older model. I know about string trimmers but had never used one before. The reason I came to this video was for your “stupid” question. I couldn’t figure out how to get the strings longer. I appreciate you cover this. I’m a educated person just had never used one. I did surgeries instead. Once a person learns they are good to go.
Thank You!
Glad to help. Here is a newer video that may help a little more to someone that isn't familiar with string trimmers. czcams.com/video/TPqZn_qTmkY/video.html And if you are new into the EGO line of equipment here is our webpage with everything EGO www.aroundthehome.org/ego-power-plus.html
Thanks. I ran out of string and so I’m trying to figure out next step…
Do you have one of the EGO trimmers and if so, do you have the rapid reload head or the power load head? I have videos on how to load either.
Thanks around the home. I was able to reload after watching your videos. I have one that I had to put plastic through and wind up by hand. Tough w my right hand as it’s so arthritic. How much should I load in? I saw 17 feet? I was able to do about 11
16 feet is the maximum length with the .095 line. But no need to push it to the max. There is nothing wrong with 11 feet. Glad I could help with re-loading as well.
Just bought the latest mower and edger. First time home owner enjoying the simplicity of the products!
Thank you for watching, and please share. Check out hundreds more of our videos at www.aroundthehome.org/
I’m so glad I found this video. I was ready to throw this trimmer away bc of not being able to get the string out😂 now I know how to reload it and make it work. Running to lowes to get more string now haha
@Alisyn Morris thank you for watching. Here is my newest video on the PowerLoad trimmer. It will be much better. czcams.com/video/vvZ40-TjwvM/video.html If you are newer around string trimmers then here is a good basic video for that. czcams.com/video/TPqZn_qTmkY/video.html And if you are investing in the EGO line of outdoor power equipment here is my full playlist czcams.com/play/PLxwydrM6xLuXnc39AF0vaAYvLdauVFlBU.html
LOL
Great video! I learn to operate after watching! Thanks ❤
Do your research before you use or buy any trimmer
I never usually comment on CZcams but I had to let you know that this video is exactly what I was needing and thank you so much for making it 😂 I had no idea how to get the string to come out, or really how to even use it and now I’m way more confident in my abilities!
You are very welcome. Now this is an older video, this is a newer version of that. czcams.com/video/TPqZn_qTmkY/video.html And if you do have the EGO brand trimmer, here are some more specific videos to help you load / unjam it. Here is for the Rapid Reload head czcams.com/video/UwV79MyXdY8/video.html and for the PowerLoad head czcams.com/video/vvZ40-TjwvM/video.html
Thank you. Been bumping the trimmers while not turning for years and getting no where, wondering wtf lol. No one taught me. Now I feel like a pro
That is great! Do you have the one of the EGO trimmers?
@@AroundTheHome1 yes. And you taught me how to string it. Thanks.
Thank you for teaching this 80y/o g-mother! Simple is for me!
Happy to help!
God bless you, Melba. I fired my gardener and do my own lawn now that i am retired. It's good exercise and saves money in the short run.. It's a lot of work but these tools are so easy. I see my neighbors scratching their heads and the next thing I know they've' gone electric too. I hope to get to be where you are.
Love your channel I'm a 76 year old female mowing and trimming her own huge lawn you have been a life saver with how to reload my new ego trimmer I live alone have to.rely on my self thanks
Thanks for watching and don't forget to stop by our website for many more helpful videos. www.greatwhiteninja.com
@@AroundTheHome1 I am 61 years old woman still work as a registered nurse in the hospital. Get very tired cause work load increased in the hospital. All housework around the house I had to do.
To make my life easy bought ego trimmer but still frustrated with ego line which keeps disappearing in the head, try bumping head no use look like that head is going to break by bumping it.
I’m 72. I had such a difficult pill starting our gas mower that I told my husband I was getting the ego mower. What a blessing. I can go out and start mowing w/o being frustrated and wasting time.
I just bought one and this saved a lot of time and trouble in setting up, using and restringing. Thanks.
Thanks for watching. Don't forget to stop by our website www.greatwhiteninja.com
I garden a ton but never had to do the trimming or mowing, very new to it- and invested in these tools and your videos really helped me. My edging still needs practice and I ran over my own flowers, but in time I have faith haha. Thank you!
Glad you liked it!

Same here, Jennifer. I have not yet mastered the art of edging my lawn without making new gopher holes :).
You are awesome! Thank you, this is our newest Ego yard product and it's been years since I used a weedeater. This little how to was wonderful!
That is awesome! Depending on which one you have, here is a great video for the powerload head system czcams.com/video/vvZ40-TjwvM/video.html and here is a video for the rapid reload head system czcams.com/video/UwV79MyXdY8/video.html Here is an updated video on how to use. czcams.com/video/TPqZn_qTmkY/video.html
Thanks I just brought the whole EGO mower trimmer and blower. My first time ever cutting. The tip on trimmer side to stand really helps. I wish they had a set control as I have to learn not to squeeze to hard else I'll go deeper than I want in the edged. Practice makes perfect.
I might put a strap on it because it's not light. I did see another video say make sure the handle is leveled and don't bend and rest your arm on the battery. Thanks again

@@AroundTheHome1 Yes! I went there too. Very helpful :)
So glad to help.
You make me want to buy it lol. “My goodness, that’s awesome.” 🤣 My husband bought an EGO mower today, I think I’m going to surprise him with this for Father’s Day.
You should! Here is my video on loading and unjamming it. czcams.com/video/vvZ40-TjwvM/video.html

Just bought my new Ego St1521s. You are a great help ! Great job :).
That's great. Here is a webpage of mine that has every EGO video that we have mane along with other resources. www.aroundthehome.org/ego-power-plus.html
yep. I am here for the dumb questions too. I love my ego products and the trimmer is the only one I cant seem to use effectively. Thanks for the info!
Here is an updated video on that. czcams.com/video/TPqZn_qTmkY/video.html
I just bought the multi-head unit edger/whacker combo, and it’s amazing. I had the B&D with auto feed, which feeds so quickly, that it would go through 20 feet of line in less than ten minutes. I disabled that feature and it’s now a manual feed.
Sounds great. Enjoy your new tool. Here is our webpage with everything EGO on it. www.aroundthehome.org/ego-power-plus.html
Simple yet useful presentation. Thanks
Glad it helped! Thank you for watching. Check out hundreds more of our videos at www.aroundthehome.org/
Wow. Thanks so much. You inadvertently answered a question I had about the cutter blade on the side. I see now that it automatically cuts your line to the appropriate length while running - even if its too long before your start. Brilliant. I was trimming it with shears to get the correct length while loading it. Duh!
No problem. I have detailed videos on the EGO trimmers. Do you have one of them? The Rapid Reload or the Powerload?
@@AroundTheHome1 I am embarrassed to say that I let my edges and weeding go far to long because I did not want to face how to untangle to string after it disappeared on one side. Thanks to You Tube University - your "class' and another one, it was simple. I have the power loader with the green pad at the bottom. When I opened it, I found I was not out of line, but for some reason it had tangled inside. I pulled it all out and re-threaded it evenly on both sides, reassembled it, pressed the load button, and voila, it slowly clicked and pulled the string back in and I stopped at a manageable length. I am a happy camper now. My only issue with Ego is they should not have to rely on smart guys like you to take us through this. EGO products are really good at showing WHAT they do; there is almost no information explicitly showing the HOW to get the products to work. You won't believe how much time I spent online yesterday looking for information on HOW their shoulder strap should be worn on the body for optimal ergonomic results. I'm not a landscaper, just a guy who let my gardener go because I want the exercise.
Here is my video on the PowerLoad. It has a lot of tips that may help out. czcams.com/video/vvZ40-TjwvM/video.html And here is my full EGO playlist czcams.com/play/PLxwydrM6xLuXnc39AF0vaAYvLdauVFlBU.html Many companies should do better at explaining their products, but it keeps me busy anyways.
this is gold! Thank you!
You are very welcome. Here are two more specific videos. Here is one with the Rapid Reload Head czcams.com/video/UwV79MyXdY8/video.html And one for the Powerload Head czcams.com/video/vvZ40-TjwvM/video.html Hope that helps even more.
Fantastic instruction and help. 5 Stars
It's really good tool I get mine today's and it's awesome, have some power like gasoline engine but is more quite and don't have any vibrations. I like it.
Glad it helped!

Great !!!
These are great trimmers. Here is our webpage with everything EGO www.aroundthehome.org/ego-power-plus.html
I've gone through a lot of trimmers and the biggest problem I have is line feed, especial from bump head models. How does this one hold up? I like every aspect of it and will probably end up getting one. Like your videos...thanks!! Like that it's not made in China also lol!

I appreciate you showing me how to get the string out (2:45) never seen a trimmer like this. We have the Ego mower, trimmer and blower. Great products.
Thanks for watching. Don't forget to stop by our website www.greatwhiteninja.com
Need to sharpen the blade from time to time, that trims the end of the line. Also use the tip of the string to cut the grass , or weeds.
Please do an edging video with this model, if you haven't already. 😀👍🏻
Do you mean like just a basic how to edge with a string trimmer? I don't have a video like that if that's what you mean. I will see what I can do.
@@AroundTheHome1 Yes that would be awesome 🥳🥳😀
We got one and the line keeps unwinding and coming back out on both sides. Eventually after winding and using it gets tangled and you can’t bump it to extend the line and then have to open and pull the tangle out, any suggestions?
Got both of your questions. I wanted to make sure that you had the PowerLoad Head and not the Rapid Reload head.
Thanks. Have watched twice to get all the tips. BTW, "guys" as an all inclusive term is cool. For this, it's about the tutorial on weed wacker.
Great to hear! Here is our webpage with everything EGO on it. www.aroundthehome.org/ego-power-plus.html
What does that green button on the end of the shaft, by the shield plate do?
It loads the head. Here is our video on how to use the PowerLoad head. czcams.com/video/vvZ40-TjwvM/video.html
How do you install the shoulder strap
I was hoping that you would have gotten a response by someone in the community. I don't have the strap, but maybe that's something I need to get. Is this the one? www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HPMQEXM?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&th=1&linkCode=ll1&tag=greatwhitenin-20&linkId=805439bd025b0d3fc4a7924b63fc76ae&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
Can you use the ego edger in place of the trimmer on the older model?
I'm not entirely sure what you are asking. You can use the edger around the driveway and sidewalk, but that doesn't help around the house, fence, trees, deck, ect.
How would I edge the driveway with the trimmer angled? Are you still cutting to the left side of your body so the dirt/etc. isn’t being thrown to you?
Here is an updated video that hopefully helps more czcams.com/video/TPqZn_qTmkY/video.html
You are very welcome. Here is my full EGO playlist czcams.com/play/PLxwydrM6xLuXnc39AF0vaAYvLdauVFlBU.html
I cannot figure out the telescoping ... how do I make it shorter? it's so long, for someone 6foot tall .....
There is not a telescoping pole on this. You can just adjust the handle position. It may feel a little long at first but you get used to it. My kids and the neighbor kid uses this and love it. My kids are 5'4" and 5'9", and the neighbor kid is 4'11 1/2". They are able to use my two EGO string trimmers with ease.

Mine doesn’t extend when bumped.
I would love to help, but need more info. Is your's brand new or used? Which model? What type of string and how long?
Please check the website you mentioned is not even loading, Chinese website appears
Interesting. That was my old website and the name for all my online stuff that I had. My new website has the same name as this channel and is in the video description. www.aroundthehome.org/
String get shorter after 5 min use very frustrating please advise, thinking returning to store back
I would like to advise, but I don't know how you are using it. The string could easily get shorter after 5 minutes of use if it is being run against the ground or into a fence. Then you would just need to bump the head and get more out. Are you used to an auto feed system? If you did come from an auto feed system then you may have never learned how to properly hold the trimmer to keep from burning up a lot of string because it just kept feeding it out.
@@AroundTheHome1 the mistake I made bought without auto feed strings. I will make sure not to run against ground. I will tried bumping head against to get string more out but I don’t know with on or off trimmer. Thank you for reply.
Here is a newer and more complete video on how to use your string trimmer that may help out. czcams.com/video/TPqZn_qTmkY/video.html
@@AroundTheHome1 thank you for video that’s going to help a lot
You are welcome. Feel free to ask anymore questions that you may have.
Thanks, from a 66 yr old gal ("guy" is generic as far as I think.)

Heard the new batteries are junk.
Yes, from that one video over a year ago that was talking about batteries that were a year old. So that would be referring to batteries made in 2019 or 2018. The new 3rd gen batteries do not come from that batch.
@@AroundTheHome1 Am I following you right? Those after 2019 are ok? Just bought the ST1521S Came with the 2.5 ah, plus simple charger Battery is dated Aug 2020, also bought a 5.0 ah date on it Mar 2021. Are they ok?
Well, let's just say it is too soon to know for sure. I have one that was a 2018 and it went bad in 1 year. I did get it replaced under warranty. I have older ones that are still going and newer ones as well. So, the best I can tell something did happen around 2018 to 2019 on the batteries and that sucks, but so far I have no indication that my newer batteries will have any problem. But my 2 newer batteries are 1 and 1 1/2 years old respectively so they are still too new to know if they will pass the 4 year mark strong or not. That's what I know.
Not a single mom but I will be a single homeowner. Thank you so much lol

I was here for the dumb question
*I have used Stihl for over 20 years 🌴 **allabout.wiki/EGO** and after reading some reviews of this trimmer, I tried EGO Power+ , and I'm going to switch. Compared to several Stihl trimmers I've had, this one is easier to start, quieter, and feels at least as well built . A major plus is it doesn't have the wonky, always leaking, complicated gas tank caps that Stihl has.*
