Questions & Answers
How difficult is it to replace the head and how long does the head last?
Replacing the head requires no special tools required beyond the wrench normally included in the kit and typically takes 2-3 minutes. Life of the head depends on usage and care, but should last multiple seasons.
What is the difference between model number 2828-20E-49-16-2712 and model number 2828-20E Trimmer
The model number 2828-20-49-16-2712 includes a 150ft. spool of the 0.080" Milwaukee trimmer line (part #49-16-2712).
Is there any place to hook up a shoulder strap on the tool
Hey, Thomas. No, the Milwaukee M18™ Brushless 16" String Trimmer does not include a dedicated shoulder strap hook or D-ring attachment point on the housing.
What size battery can I use
The M18™ Brushless 16" String Trimmer is part of the M18™ System, so it is compatible with all Milwaukee M18™ REDLITHIUM™ batteries.
Does this tool have interchangeable attachment such as hedge trimmer and saws?
Hi, Rudy. M18™ Brushless String Trimmer is a fixed-shaft trimmer. It is not attachment-capable. It cannot accept hedge trimmer, pole saw, or other attachments. It is designed only for trimming grass and light brush. If you are looking for the attachment system, the M18 FUEL™ String Trimmer w/ QUIK-LOK™ (2825-21ST) is attachment-capable. It uses the QUIK-LOK™ system, which allows you to swap the string trimmer head for other attachments
Is this the gen 2 power head?
Yes, the Easy Load Trimmer Head Gen II is 49-16-2748.
This power head is said to have 2 speeds. Gen2 has 3 speeds. The previous answer addresses the attachment, and not the power head, like the original question asked.
My local Home Depot must have received a bad batch of these batteries. I have now tried three different sets and all six batteries were faulty, alternating red and green flashes when on the charger. What gives, and what can I do about it?
Had a similar experience and was rather disappointed but after some YouTube research I found out that after whacking it really good to fully seat it into the charger did the trick.
These batteries don’t fully insert into charger. Tried older battery and it slid right in as it should. These batteries are from SE Asia, the old battery was from Mexico. A slight difference in the plastic casting makes it incompatible with the charger.
Same happened to me make sure the battery is seated properly all the way down it’s new so use some force. Hope this helps
Correction to my previous answer. A more expert customer answers a similar question further below. He said: "Slide the battery on and off the charger about 15-20 times. Sometimes the terminal on the battery will have a clear coat on it."
Not an expert, but I'd suspect a malfunctioning charger that has damaged all of those batteries. Is that posible?
Me too!!!!! Two bad sets and no 3rd one to replace it
I had same issue, hang charger up, i.e. wall mount it, don't lay it flat on table. I th8nk laying it flat prevents all battery terminals from connecting.
Will this battery work for the Milwaukee M-18 3/& Fuel driven impact gun?
Yes, they will work fine. Mike
