How do I load the string onto the Weedwhacker
Hello, Berg - Thank you for your question. To replace the line; Remove the battery pack. Remove the spool from the string head. Remove any old line remaining on the spool. Cut a piece of line approximately 9 ft. long. Use only 0.065 in. diameter round or 0.080 in. twisted monofilament line. Insert the line into the anchor hole in the upper part of the spool. Wind the line around the upper part of the spool clockwise, as shown by the arrows on the spool. Place line in the slot on upper spool flange, leaving about 6 in. extended beyond the slot. Do not overfill. After winding the line, there should be at least 1/4 in. between the wound line and the outside edge of the spool. I hope this helps!

How many RPMs
The trimmer cuts great, but no clue as to the RPMs. Sometimes the battery can be hard to remove from the trimmer so it can be charged. I love the auto line feed (no bumping the base on the ground). I’m happy I purchased it.
Hello, Sherilyn - Thank you for your question. I am sorry, but the RPMs are not listed. This is equally as powerful as a gas string trimmer though. I hope this helps!

How do I advance my string on my weed whacker
There’s probably an easier way but I just release the spool and lift it up just a little and pull the string to the desired length. Then push the spoil back in.
Hello, Ryobi - Thank you for your question. This has an auto-feed string head. If you release the trigger and then pull it again the line will advance. I hope this helps!
