Great idea getting a tip protector! Not sure why they don’t come with one, I think I’ll get one. I use a 2 stroke mixing syringe and fill it with grease to add grease to my trimmer attachment seems to work well. Maybe I add too much because the grease seems to work it’s way out up the blades but surely extra lubrication wouldn’t hurt.

Hey, yes I now use a syringe to inject grease into the grease port. If you overfill grease, it just spits it out the front! The same happens on my other three commercial trimmers if I add too much grease.

I just bought the hedge trimmer. Heavy, but it does the job. Loved your video even with the clutter and the rambling. Thumbs up.

Thanks for the video! I’ve been trimming my hedges a few hours after a good downpour and I noticed clear slimy stuff coming out of the gearbox so I searched the internet to see if it happened to others! Since Isaac-qz7hn added grease and it came out from where the blades are I figure water might have entered the gearbox, liquifying the grease that was in the gearbox. I have tall hedges and the tool has been used vertically quite a bit making it easier for water to enter the gearbox. I guess I’ll open it up and see. Thanks again!

I believe that's what happened to mine. Water inevitably gets in and helps the grease get out. I've opened up the gearbox and wiped out as much contaminated grease as possible when I feel it's contaminated. I don't use this trimmer much in the rain anymore, I use my more robust gas trimmers with commercial grade gearboxes. Looking forward to the new commercial EGO trimmers coming out in 2024!

You're welcome! It's working as it should, probably has at least a hundred hours on it since this video. I just keep the gearbox lubricated and it's good to go!

Sometimes, film footages like these are hard to find, for I have the same brand as this. But I don't know if it's the same year model, knowing I bought it brand new in 2023. Also, there's a nipple grease for each one; and without opening the case, there's a tube I can use to lubricate the product, I can not seem to find them. Also, how many hours of use is there, before it needs servicing for I never used it before. I want to know what I'm doing for I could probably void the warranty on it. Do you have a film footage of one like the one I'm after, or do you know someone that does? Thank you buddy!

Hey there. I don't think they've changed this trimmer attachment, (however hopefully they do soon as it appears they have new commercial gearboxes on their new 2024 commercial trimmers coming soon). So there are three large black hex bolts on the trimmer head. The top one is a port to grease the part that articulates. The one below that is grease for the top of the gearbox. The one on the side is another additional port for the gearbox. I now use a small syringe. I suck up some trimmer grease out of a tube (I use the Stihl branded tube), and then inject the grease into the hole. I've only had major problems on losing grease from using trimmers in the rain. I pretty much only use this trimmer in the dry weather now, I use my gas ones in rain. I might put some grease in it every two months, where it might get 75 hours on it in a month. If you put too much grease in, it just spits it out the front. If you're a homeowner and only going to put 20 or so hours on it in a year, I wouldn't worry much about the grease. I'd make sure to lubricate the blades. Most landscapers use a product called Fluid Film to coat the blades as it's non toxic to plants.

I purchased my parts from Parts Warehouse. Sorry for late reply. They have schematics so I tried my best to order the right parts just by studying the schematics.
