can you change the head for different cutting angles. like from a cutter to a true sidewalk edger/trimmer? I read of one such machine but can't remb

No you cannot. This is a different type of trimmer that cannot be used as an edger. The primary use of this type of yard equipment is for weed whacking tall thick grass and weed with at least 1/4" branch. However you can buy this combo trimmer/edger.

No, this is just a string trimmer, no additional attachments. If you want to change the angle, you have to push down or up on the handle and move the entire machine. I will say that it does a great job though. I use it in my pasture and it whacks down the tall weeds and brush very easily. I don't use it around my house because it uses such large size string and is so powerful, I would be afraid of damage. I use the regular shaft trimmer for that.

Line up the arrows, run the line (designated length) through the head so that they are equal length on both sides. Twist the head until the line spools inside...leaving a little on each side. The trick is to not overload. I ran my trimmer hard initially and actually melted the plastic. I've been gentler with the trimmer since then and I haven't had a problem with the replacement. The 3rd party trimmer heads work pretty well. Shakespeare has a nice trimmer head you can use as well if you don't like the Troy Bilt

Please check the specs for the types of blades included with the unit.I have not changed them, but from what I have read, and what I can see, the blades seem very easy to change.

as i recall you just flip the metal wire guard into it's own space underneath and flip the entire head. this reveals the wheels which makes it so easy to edge. i am down at our vacation home so cannot double check but it is super easy and designed for doing this. i usually just leave mine in edger mode. one regular battery allows me to edge around pool sidewalks and long driveway on a 2 acre lot. once you use this as edger you will never use anything else!

If the tilt is the wrong direction then cut from the opposite direction. I really love the cordless saw .I might use it as often as my corded saw. Allen R.

You can not adjust blade from left to right without getting off the machine. You have to get off and adjust the angle manually. Very easy procss though, no tools required to adjust angle.

hello tim, once it is installed it works just like a built in shower and yes you can change the head to whatever you like.

you don't require a special attachment to do edging. simply turn the trimmer to where the line is on the edging side of the sidewalk, street grass line and start edging. it will take a little practice but you will see how well it edges. do not remove the guard as that is totally unnecessary. take your time and you will get the hng of it. the carburator on trimmers are meant to be turned sideways, upside down...with no problems whatsoever.

I'm not a 100% but from looking at the picture of that trimmer it doesn't look like it has the changeable shaft so I don't think so. If i'm wrong about that then I would imagine so but I got mine with the Ryobi ZRRY15122BM 10 Amp Expand-It Electric Power Head. Sorry I couldn't offer more but I hope this helped some at least.

I have both too. I can't be 100%sure, but it looks like you could possibly interchange the blades.

If I understand your question, you want to replace the blade on the brush cutter with a trimmer head. I believe you must purchase the entire string trimmer attachment which after removing the brush cutter attachment replaces it.

I don't think it will work on any edger. a stihl trimmer maybe i never own one to know how head mounts

Not sure on torque and nor sure if that is relevant to an edger Yes blade is adjustable for height with top handle see photograph of edget handle adjustment is on the left. Blade also has angle adjustment on back of blade housing at bottom left of machine.

i have used this on everything and have had had many ways i had to cut . the head turns 360 degrees so you should be able to get what you need out of it

Hope I'm not wrong, but I think the heads are interchangeable. I believe I've got a diamond head as well as another head that I've used on the same base.

Yeah. Ask a professional barber to manually adjust the blade and do the design for the first design time, thats the easiest way. Be careful though the blade is sharper after if not you may cut yourself.And as you may imagine it is easier to carefully design a different persons facial hair than do yourself.
