Is there a way to re-string this? The knot by the extender came un-done and when I went to extend it, the top part flew out and gave me a nice bump on the head.

Fortunately I have not had this problem. I have restrung the smaller unit. I suggest you take a heavy duty wire, like electrical ones you use wiring your house. Run it through the unit as a leader and pull the string through. Don't know if this will work but it is what I did before. Good luck. Frank

So far, I have not had such experience. There is, however, a detailed instruction PDF available at this link that may help.http://gmedia.fiskars.com/faq/9240replacement.pdf

Fortunately, this has not happened to me; so my only suggestion would be to contact Customer Service at Fiskars for guidance and assistance with your dilemma. Sorry to hear about the the bump on the head -- ouch . . .

I have not had to deal with this type of problem on my 'Stik', but will certainly check that the knot on the bottom of mine is secure. I would suggest calling Fiskars directly, and speaking with one of their customer service representatives about your problem. This tool is still one of my favorites, and has served me well !

I do not see an easy way of either shortening or extending, unless you have some small jumprings available, looks like these are all sealed. But w/ some 2mm jumprins, I thin would be easy if you had a way to cut a link out.

I had the same concern and cut the strings off as soon as I got it. I figure I can use garbage ties or something to store it collapsed if I need to.

Hi. I made the baby blanket and also found the weaving tool too short. I made a homemade tool from a wire hanger. A thinner-wired hanger is easier to work with. With cutters I snipped the upper arm of the hanger about an inch from the bend. That will be the hook end. The other side I cut a few inches farther up the other upper arm. You bend that part into a handle. Throw the hanger section away. Shape the hook end with pliers. I had to file the cut end to smooth it down. Shape the handle with pliers making it comfortable for you to turn the hook flat to pass through the warp yarn, then to turn it up to go between the pegs to pick up the weft yarn. That's up to you. I wrapped the handle with tape to cushion it a bit. Hope this helps. I can send you pictures of the blanket but I can't figure out how to do it.

It wasn't ample in size. I made some loops and sewed on edge and took heavy cord and went back and forth and pulled it tight to keep it in place.I made it work.

I treated it just like threading a needle. Put it in my mouth squeezed it tight and pushed it through no problem, you could try pulling it through with thread.

I did what is mentioned here.. got it on the shoulder.. but how do I avoid it slinging.. it's still loose hanging loop?

Yes, that is what I did. The hole is too large, and I was concerned about the threads being damaged so I cut off a 5" long section of 1" Electrical PVC conduit keeping the flared end and the collet for the swim tether fits perfectly.

I am having the same problem. I can't figure out how to open the plastic covers to shorten the knot. Anyone else out there know how??

You have to take it all apart and then reattach all the wires. Too much trouble for me. I just bought a HD extension cord, without an end at Home Depot, and attached a new plug. Plus, I needed a longer cord anyway, to reach a plug. I did not want a cheap cord. Still under $10, and it's super safe too!

What I had to do was basically create a "single use" don't waste your time trying to upload a bunch of string for multiple uses, what I did was I bought an extra piece and I would tie knots in 2 pieces, I could do my small lawn usually without using the back up, but loading with extra line won't work it just spews out, but if you tie a knot with 2 pieces and put it in, have a back up cap for quick replace you should be good for small jobs, hope this helps

I did it a couple years ago so my memory is foggy, but do recall being stumped for a while and then suddenly discovering the solution. I think you have to take off the guard first. Here's a diagram that will help you see how it comes apart: http://www.ereplacementparts.com/black-and-decker-gh1000-type-string-trimmer-parts-c-4167_9518_183331.html

Try liquid fabric softener in a spray bottle. You will have to cut the frayed ends off, but if you can comb the knots down to the end, you can just cut them off. That's what I ended up doing. Twice. I immediately braided her hair to try to keep it from tangling for a while. That lasted for a few months. Now it's down again and I predict another haircut for our Rapunzel. Such a disappointment. Good luck!

Good question. As I recall, you can "take up" the string through the holders to shorten it and then cut it or tie a knot. If it had a "slider" I didn't see it.

Hi,No, this is not prestrung. I had to take it to a shop to get it strung, but I believe you can pay extra to have it strung for you.

I had the same problem it has a lot of tension on it. I had to loosen everything that was connected to this wire before it was able to be fit into it's position. If you study it long enough you will see what to do.

We just coil it up the way it came. A bit of a trick sometime. One way to solve your problem is to use a hose reel. No coiling or uncoiling involved then.
