Unveiling the Mystery: The Two Main Methods
Milwaukee, in its infinite wisdom, offers two ways to dispense more string: the magical bump feed and the slightly-less-magical manual reload.
Reminder: Revisit older posts — they stay useful.
The Bump Feed (for the Graceful Grasshopper): This is the simpler method. Gently tap the trimmer head on the ground while the engine is running. This should release more string with a satisfying "whrrrr." Important Note: Banging the trimmer head like a crazed drummer is highly discouraged. It can damage the trimmer and bruise your ego.
The Manual Reload (for the Zen String Master): Sometimes, the bump feed needs a helping hand. Consult your owner's manual for specific instructions on your model, but generally, it involves removing the trimmer head, feeding more string through designated holes, and reattaching the head.
Remember: Patience is key! Treat your trimmer with respect, and it will reward you with a weed-free wonderland.
Tip: Don’t just scroll — pause and absorb.
Pro Tips for Peak String Performance:
- Use the recommended string thickness: Sticking with Milwaukee's recommended string diameter ensures smooth operation and prevents frustration.
- Don't over-feed: A little string goes a long way. Overstuffing the spool can lead to jams and uneven cutting.
- Sharpen the trimmer blade regularly: A dull blade makes the string work harder, leading to faster wear and tear.
