Questions & Answers
does this come with the needed left thread nut to replace the string to a blade? and is the slide saying that it comes with a spark plug, lubricating fluid, extra string, etc. true?
Hello, Joseph - No, that nut is not included with this trimmer. If you want to use a bladed head instead of a string, we recommend our AC053N1FH REEL EASY+ 2-in-1 Pivoting Fixed Line and Bladed Head. The slide you are referring to is the replacement parts list; those replacement parts are not included. If you need further support, then feel free to ask another question. You can also contact us by phone or text at 1.800.525.2579, Monday - Friday from 9 am to 5 pm (EST), or via email when you visit us at https://www.ryobitools.com/support/contact.

Will this current 2 cycle weed trimmer work with older expand it attachments say 4 or 5 years old?? My release button is on the side of the shaft on mine. Where I see the release button on the current 2 cycle model is on the top of the shaft?? Thanks!
Hello, Joseph - Yes, the Expand-It attachments have holes on multiple sides to fit older and newer power heads. If you need further support, then feel free to ask another question.
