    Thanks so much for this video. Watch 3 others before I found this one. Yours is clear, quick and easy to follow and looks exactly like mine so there was no confusion and I did it with the video and was done at the end and very happy. Thanks so much. Was the perfect video and incredibly helpful 👌 👏

    Just like one of the previous comments, I watched a couple of other videos before finding this one and was getting increasingly confused. The technique is simple once you know how and this video makes it very clear what to do. Thanks.

    For the last 18 months I've not let the lawn crew edge or use a weed eater in my back yard. czcams.com/users/postUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG I didn't like the fact that they just kept cutting the edge of the lawn further and further from the rock lining the flower beds and leaving bare ground. And the grass was trimmed or scalped several feet around trees, etc. It was a constant battle with them so I told them to just mow and no trimming. I have Zoysia grass so it grows pretty slow. Obviously after a while it could use some trimming. I'm in my 80's so I can't do much of it myself.Finally I decided that if I could find a lightweight battery powered trimmer I might be able to do some light trimming. I decided to buy the LST201 20V trimmer. And it works great for my needs. I have back yard with about 150' of flower beds and several trees to be trimmed. I can lightly trim the whole yard with a single charge! The grass I trimmed was only a few inches high but the trimmer was more powerful than I expected.

    At the back of the spindle are two holes 180 degrees opposite each other. These are retainer holes to prevent the gut from unrolling. Clip each end of the cut into these holes, feed it through the spinner head and give it a slight jerk to release the gut from the holes and complete the job.

    • @oliverwood8505
      @oliverwood8505 Před 2 lety

      Ah I have worked it out. In the line holder channel there are two eyelets. Pass the line through one of these and then pull through until you have found the halfway length of your line. Then double the one side back and wind both together in the dirrection marked, taking care to keep it neat. Near the end hook each end into the two retaining notches. Then feed the free ends into the feeder holes on the head body, and reassemble the whole head. Then press the bump button and pull on the two lines until you hear them come out of the retainer notches and are now free to feed.

    Unfortunately whilst your video is informative to a point you are completely incorrect as you miss several most important fundamentals: 1. trimmer line is colour coded and that should be pointed out eg: orange coloured trimmer line for 1,8 mm or 2.0 mm for 1000 Watt Lawn Star weedeater (yellow for 1,2mm etc) 2. For that 1000 watt model you can load 8 meters but no more, loading 1 meter as you state is a great waste of time 3. and most importantly you should clip in the lines into slots temporally on the bottom flange, load the spool and then pull the two protruding lines to release them rather than fiddling around extensively as you show. Or watch the inferior quality Lawn Star that has no sound or commentary: czcams.com/video/B8kVG69UqXs/video.html

    • @CriPtZoNe
      @CriPtZoNe  Před rokem

      Good day David. 1st of all thank you for the extra info. As you can see this video is 4 years old. When I made this I did not know anything about the trimmer. I do not use other color lines as they mean nothing to me. The orange line came with the trimmer and there for I use that. I also do not put more than 3M line on the spool as longer line melts into the roll and does not extend then. As long as my video helped out other new and first time users I will consider this video a success. But thanks again for the info. Kind regards

    • @CriPtZoNe
      @CriPtZoNe  Před 3 lety

      Haha wat I found is that if you put up too much line it gets hot and they melt together prwventing them from coming out. I put up about 3m of line devided by 2. So 1.5 per side.
