Tools and Hardware Reviews of LEHR ST025DC 25cc Propane Powered 4-Stroke Detachable Curved-Shaft Eco TrimmerCustomer Review: This baby really takes out the vegetation in the vertical position Summary: 5 Stars
I received my trimmer on June 3, 2010. This is my first power trimmer. I just use a corded electric at home. After making sure it ran at home I headed out to Paint Creek State Park where I do mountain bike trail maintenance. I already knew from reading other reviews not to add the whole 2.5 ounce bottle of oil as the trimmer only needs 1.7 ounces. The motor has to remain level so the oil circulates. So the trimmer's detachable shaft has two positions: horizontal for regular trimming and vertical for edging. Definitely get the detachable model so you can put the shaft in the vertical position. I wasn't worried about scalping the ground because I was just out in the woods clearing away vegetation from the single track trail. Definitely wear the padded shoulder strap so your shoulder bears most of the weight. That way all you have to do is sway your hips to get a nice back and forth motion. Man did that baby take out the vegetation in the vertical position. The horizontal position was much slower and I didn't want to exert effort trying to angle the string toward the ground to be more effective. I was also afraid angling it might impead oil circulation since the motor would be angled instead of level. Even pencil sized samplings were reduced to less than six inch nubs. Once in awhile I'd knock off one of the dual strings. So I'd have to stop, unscrew the bump feed button and rethread the knocked off string. I didn't need an allen wrench to change the string. They must've improved the model to eliminate this. During an hour of trimming I had to refeed a knocked off string 3 times. I was screwing the bump feed button down hard each time but the last time I did it I figured I really didn't need to screw it down so hard. You're not using a screw drive, just tightening it with your right hand as you hold the upper part with your left hand. It makes no sense to unscrew the whole thing from the shaft. Not screwing it down hard was a mistake. I didn't know I was near the end of the line and bumped it a few times against the nearest tree trunk. I'd been doing this all along since the shaft was in the vertical position. I shut the unit down a minute or two later. At that point I noticed that the bump feed button was missing. The spool and spring were still attached so the bump feed button must've just unscrewed and fallen off. I called the toll free warranty number the next day and he said he'd send a replacement out right away. I already went to the web site and discovered that replacement parts and accessories were `coming soon'. Otherwise I would've just ordered off the web site. Five feet of string is all you can comfortably wind onto each spool. That's five feet on the top spool and five feet on the bottom spool. Getting the string to go into the little notches was a struggle. Once you feed each string through each hole just tug hard enough to get each string out of it's notch. I doubt if it would ever come out by itself. When I got home I checked the oil and it was near the bottom mark. So I figure you'll need to add oil at least every time you put in a new propane cylinder, if not sooner. The manual says to check the oil often. I moved from Farmingon Hills MI to Hillsboro OH and I've changed my address with Amazon. So I don't know why it still says Farmington Hills.
