HardWork I am sorry I do not better understand your concern. One of the features I like about the Echo 58-volt string trimmer is the feed head. When the line runs out- it can be reloaded in minutes in the field and right back to work. You do not have to fool with spools are trying to reload spools. You do not need to take the head off- cut off about 12 feet of your favorite line- line up the arrows on the head, push the line thru- in one side and out the opposite side. Pull half the line thru and then turn the head- holding the top part, until the line is wound back in. You are ready to go in minutes. You have your choice of lines- your favorite brand .0.08 round, or 0.08 twisted. The thinner line gives you more run time. Or you can use a heavier 0.095 twisted or octagonal- for longer line life. It is my understanding from previous answers by Echo that there are no alternate heads for this 58 volt trimmer.

This electric trimmer has a special self loading string head. You cut 12 feet of cord and then feed it directly thru the holes in the trimmer head. Turn the head to wind onto the spool. The head will cut to the proper length and feed string.

Hi Chris Thanks for your inquiry. This string trimmer has a dual line bump feed head. I hope this helps and we appreciate your interest in ECHO! Best Regards Thank you for contacting ECHO

With some adjustments. yes. However, this model has a simple line feed system that does not require removal of the head or spool. A 12 foot length of .080 trim line feeds through the 2 side holes in the trimmer head until you get about equal amounts of string on each side. As you turn the head to wind in the line, the line refills the spool as you wind. Thats it. However, note that this model is discontinued. The parts are available, but not the battery.

Jeff- In my experience how much line one uses is not caused by the trimmer- but by the type of line and how one uses it. You could experiment- I generally run my trimmer on the lower of the two speeds- the battery lasts longer and it gets the trimming done for me. The next is the type of line you use. On this Echo 58 volt trimmer you can us .080" line for longer runs on battery charge or a heavier .095" line. If I am using a lot of line I would go to the .095" line. I use a twisted line sold by Home Depot. In using the trimmer the secret is to keep the line as far away from the concrete or masonry. I trim a long masonry wall- if I hold the trimmer away from the wall- so only the tip end of the line is hitting it- I can do the whole wall. If I hold the head to close to the wall- then I have to extend the line several times. .

The short answer is “No.” However, I did the same thing when I first used string trimmers. When the nylon string comes into contact with concrete it is just like using a power sander and will eat up your line very fast. With practice, you will learn how to not make a constant contact with the concrete and you line will last much, much longer.

Hi Jeff Thanks for your inquiry. This initially comes with 12 ft of line. Each time the bump knob is tapped on the ground, it will feed approximately 1/4" of line. We hope this helps. Best Regards Thanks for contacting ECHO

Depends on the line and the speed at which you trim. Use the slowest speed necessary to do the job. Very high spin velocity acts like a brush cutter and chews up line.

Hi Smith1021 Thanks for your inquiry. The ECHO 58V batteries are interchangeable with the ECHO 58V Walk Behind Mowers. Thanks for your question. Best Regards Thank you for contacting ECHO

Yes all the batteries interchange, both 2 amp and 4 amp versions. However, check availability first. These batteries are no longer made.

Hi Edgefly They are made in China. Thanks for your question. Best Regards Thanks for contacting Echo, we apologize for the delay in response.

Edgefy, here is a picture of the label on my Echo 58 volt string trimmer- it says made in China. On its website Echo says "The majority of ECHO products are built in the United States from foreign and domestic parts and components." The ECHO is subsidiary of Yamabiko Corporation of Japan. I use my string trimmer regularly and I like it better than any others string trimmers I have owned. Easy to reload the string on the head, much quieter than a gas trimmer and nice not having to fool with a fuel mix- just pull the trigger and it is ready go.

Hi Dan Thanks for your inquiry. Unfortunately, we don't have a attachment available for this trimmer. Thanks for reaching out to us. Best Regards Thanks for contacting Echo, we apologize for the delay in response.

Dan, Echo has previously advised that there are no attachments for the 58 volt trimmer- it can only be used with the attached "string" head. From the manual: "This string trimmer is not capable of using other attachments or cutting heads. Attempting to use other attachments or cutting heads could result in serious personal injury.".

During peak use, the service center is very busy; not an excuse, just reality that you cannot staff for the peak because this requires skilled labor. Warranty is responsibility of manufacturer and not Home Depot. You will find similar situations across the brands.
