40V Lithium-Ion Brushless Electric Cordless Attachment Capable String Trimmer - 3.0 Ah Battery and Charger Included

Hello, Cheryl - Line replacement: -Stop the engine or motor, disconnect the spark plug wire for gas power heads, remove the battery pack for cordless power heads, or disconnect the plug from the power source for electric power heads. -Rotate the bump knob clockwise as necessary to align the arrows on the bump knob with the arrows on the string head housing. -Cut one piece of trimmer line 10 ft. long. Insert the line into the eyelet on the string head housing. Push until the end of the line comes out the other side of the housing. -Pull the line until equal amounts of line appear on both sides of the housing. -NOTE: Line may jam if more than 10 ft. is loaded. -Either by hand or using the Speed Winder™, rotate the bump knob clockwise to wind the line on the spool until approximately 6 in. of line is showing on each side. -NOTE: For best results, after every five to seven revolutions of the Speed Winder™, pull both line ends taut for best loading results and to help prevent the line from tangling. -Push the bump knob down while pulling on line(s) to manually advance the line.

Yes. Any Ryobi 40v battery will work with this trimmer

Thank you Aris for your inquiry. It is not recommended the added load would be too much for the powerhead. ~ I hope this help, Alexandria

No, there is no extension available for the trimmer. It is a really nice cordless trimmer and you can try it and if not satisfied Home Depot normally allows 90 days to return. Buy it with a Home Depot credit card and get 1-yr return. So, you have nothing to loose.

Unless you have a different trimmer head than came with the kit, the trimmer is a bump-feed model. This means the line only advances when you bump the head on the ground while it's spinning and should be done with the throttle held down fully. Just releasing the throttle won't feed string.
