What happens here
Connor demonstrates how to change the cutting head on the FSA 135. Using a provided pin tool, he lines up a hole on the shaft and inserts the pin to lock the shaft, allowing him to unscrew the existing trimmer head. The trimmer head is replaced with a brush knife attachment, which slides onto the cogs and is secured. The tool's variable speed throttle, with multiple power levels, is then shown, allowing users to adjust performance and conserve battery life.
Goal: Learn to safely change cutting heads and understand the variable speed throttle.
