#065 STRING FOR WEED TRIMMERS WINDOWS#
One has to be very vigilant the direction they chose and to make sure no kids, no pets, no windows are in that path and continually check. I did this for a living and almost! went into competition with my little weed wacker! All my trimmers were fitted with fixed heads and shields removed. The shield is supposed to be for safety but it is hard to see exactly what you are doing and I think that is far more important and safer to see what you are trimming. Get rid of that bump and go trimmer head! What headaches! Take it in and get a 'fixed head' for that trimmer. Heavier line might cause vibrations (which can lead to a bent rod).Feeding thicker line though the hole (especially during operation).Thicker line will be shorter on the spool (in other words, you might.Thicker line might require more power to move/cut through weeds.knowing whether or not it can use a different string will be handyįor future reference (it's better to test it at your convenience.Trying will not cause the weedeater to explode.
