Great trimmer, cannot change head?

Bought this trimmer and really like it.  Still have trouble with chain link fencing though as it rips the again the fence.  I bought a Pivotrim head but cannot take the head off of this one to replace it...am i missing something?

Terrible Product! Do not buy
Unreliable, have had to purchase several of these, one per year. I made the mistake of buying additional attachements, trimmer, blower. Now I have to have this Gas Trimmer engine or will have no use for the attachements. Do not make the mistake of buying this trimmer or being locked into the attachments. This is a terrible unreliable product.

Works GREAT after 2 minutes of warm up.

I was given this trimmer as a gift and read the reviews before using it. There are several reviews stating that this trimmer is underpowered, and when I first started using the trimmer I was very disappointed to find that I agreed with them. THEN, after about 2 minutes, the thing had warmed up nicely and WOAH. No shortage of power whatsoever. It was actually scary powerful... I was launching pine cones clear across the yard when they came into the path of this monster. So... my advice: give it more than 2 minutes before you decide to toss it. I only have 1 use on an 8000 sqft yard, so I'll update if my opinion changes.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

no power

I had this trimmer, used it once, and took it back. This trimmer has no power. They should call it a fan. It blows the grass of of your way...I guess it doesn't spin fast enough to actually CUT the grass.

Very functional trimmer

New starting device works well, and long reach mean not having to bend so much.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

Overall
Excellent trimmer

I own a landscaping business and this tripper can take down the toughest grass and brush. It is very easy to assembly and able to breakdown if you want to travel w/ it. The line is super easy to replace unlike most bump trimmer heads. The trimmer starts like a charm. I recommend getting the XQ .95 line it cuts better and will save you time on having to replace the line in the spool. The only 2 downsides are the weight, it is a pretty heavy trimmer so get the sling attachment. It goes through gas pretty fast. one bonus is that you can easily make adjustments to the carb to change your throttle speeds. I highly recommend getting this trimmer.

I would recommend this product to a friend.
