This is a great video! It has helped me out with the information and tips

[stevehiner]

I have an Ryobi trimmer and the guard came preset but I get pelted with debris every time I use it. Wonder if there is a bigger guard available or if I can adjust it so I don’t get hit every time I trim? My Toro gas trimmer was much better in terms of protection.

[petechumly]

when i do the bump, cord wont come out and i have to dismantle it all the time and untangle it, what can i di to fix that

[muttgee]

How do you get line out that's stick inside a bump feed? Cannot feed new line in

[ShabbirHussain-rvlr]

Absolutely love it.. does my edging in no time and i have a corner house. I have one question though.. can i remove the bump head cover off ? It blocks my view ?

[andrewruneckles]

My guard only fits at one point so I can't move it around. I nearly always get hit in the face by debris, is this because I am using it wrong? I have a petrol whipper snipper that I can add other attachements too.

I have the 40v HP and the blade keeps hitting the guard. It doesn’t seem adjustable. Idk what to do.

[kh-zf]

have the 2008 trimmer so I tried using the 2 blade as recommended in vid. Snapped in easily and made sure in correctly. 10 seconds later blades were broken off. Junk. Doesnt matter what this guy says. Mine has always given me problems regardless of all the U tubes and trouble shooting I use. Im glade you guys like yours but mine is junk and I moved on too a much better unit.

My Ryobi 40022 is continually feeding and I'm not pressing/depressing to make it feed. It feeds automatically causing the line to go out so much and wrap around the head ... Any ideas what might be wrong?

[oli_mma]

How do I disable the auto feed “feature”?
Aka auto feed “flaw”

[jspenny]

I still don't like the Autofeed. I often turn release the trigger while moving to a new spot and end up using a lot of the line. Do they expect us to constantly hold down the trigger even while walking around the yard?

[DerekWiedenheft]

one side of my line keeps going back inside. anyway to fix that?

[SeargentBarnes]

Mine didn't even come with a guard? Brand new in the box.

[runamuckretreatmccarthy]

You know what the problem is with the Expnd it trimmer attachment? It turns the wrong way. May be fine for trimming, but the only way it adjusts for edging makes it throw the trimming back at you. This needs redesigned to allow the trimmer to be turned in the opposite direction for edging, so the trimmings will be thrown clear.

[NoChannelChannel]

You're so bad at stating compatible head/spool assembly replacement part, what head is compatible with olt1833bl trimmer ? RAC1207 looks compatible and you have NOT listed on website or packaging, but on this video title it seems compatible, total contusion

[hs]

Why does it run then stop? The battery is fully charged. Its a brand new trimmer.

[richardhutchinson]

This video does not troubleshoot like it says

[michellemoore]

Your manuals are very confusing. Please do a video installing the guard. How can you say its the very most important part of the trimmer and not show how to freaking put it on? This is a waste of time. Meanwhile many people are returning this POS because its not working at least we dont know why!

[aussie.prepper]

Absolutely useless video. No trouble shooting was done at all.

[Markboyy]

Dude u gotta wear some earmuffs for a noisy job like that, trust me I know what I’m talking about. Thank me later
