Trimmer Head

This is a black plastic bump knob for the end of Echo string trimmers. A bump knob is a simple piece of plastic that covers the end of the spool. When knocked against the ground, it triggers the release of more string. Its durability will depend entirely on how it’s used. In practice, it will last until it’s been worn out or cracked. It will last longer when bumped primarily on grass as opposed to when it’s bumped primarily on concrete or asphalt. A bump knob will need to be replaced when it’s too worn out to work correctly. In this case, remove the collar from the string trimmer’s upper case. Remove the old bump knob, replace it with the new knob, and reassemble the trimmer. The entire process should take less than five minutes. In addition to Echo machines, this bump knob has also been used on some Shindaiwa string trimmer models. This is an OEM part sourced directly from Echo, and it is sold individually.

This cutting head holds the line that trims weeds and grass on several specific handheld gasoline trimmers. It is covered with a thick plastic cap that is bumped against the ground so that line can be released from the spool. The plastic bump head can endure an indefinite number of bumps against the ground. The cutting head not only experiences all the same bumps but also turns at 12,000 and must stop and start rapidly. As a result, after continual use, the cutting head sometimes requires replacement. There are several clues to suggest that a cutting head needs to be replaced. Most often, the bump function ceases to work or works sporadically. To replace the cutting head, press the slots in the bump housing to release the lower part of the housing.
