How to replace RELOAD STRING on RYOBI 40V trimmer

Works on 18V and GAS, too! See how fast you can replace / reload the cutting string line on your Ryobi weedeater.

And here I've been fighting for a half hour to try and get the trim head apart to restring it...thanks so much for this! That should be in the manual!

Thanks for the demos. I think the most important part for me when loading the string was to tug the two ends snug after every few turns to keep the string from twisting up and not feeding. Good demo. Easy to follow. You made my day !!

FINALLY!!! A Ryobi video that doesn't involve using the Ryobi Crank seeing as I lost mine.
Thank you.

Thank you for this. I swear the instructions don't even tell me this and I wasted an hour earlier in the baking sun trying to get this back together.

Thanks so much! I had the whole thing apart and your way was so simple!

[joebagofdonuts]

easy and simple, couldnt figure it out, you made my life must simple, goo job explaining it and cut and dry ...

[gcgangsta]

Wow! Thanks so much!! This was so helpful! I have to admit my dad had always changed my spool when it needed it and it felt pretty good to do it on my own. I think my wife was impressed too….ok maybe not.

Easy to follow! Newly widowed and trying to figure things out!

thanks I wasn't pulling on the string every few turns so it wouldn't lock up and would just unravel when I turned it on. been fighting this war for a week straight lol

[Jorts]

Thank you for the demo... I cant begin to explain how much I fucking hate this reload system and the string trimmer as a whole, but it was free so im going to run it to thw ground.

How do you extend more string out of the head if there’s no string protruding but there’s still string around the spool?

[katnisse]

What's the best way to do this if you can see the arrows due to use? I've tried to turn it every which way and the string won't come through to the other side.

[Jazzieezs]

man mine is not tightening when I turn my knob, could it be broken!?

What model is this? I've had it with my old one who's string is too hard to replace. I have some 40v batteries already for my mower so I figured best to just get a 40V trimmer.
