OPERATING MANUAL

REPLACEMENT STRING TRIMMER HEAD

MODEL NUMBER AH1522

This Replacement String Trimmer Head is exclusively compatible with  
EGO POWER+ String Trimmer ST1510T and ST1510T-FC.

 DANGER: 

If the head loosens after it is fixed in position, replace it immediately. Never use a trimmer 

with a loose cutting attachment. Replace a cracked, damaged or worn out cutting head immediately, even 

if damage is limited to superficial cracks. Such attachments may shatter at high speed and cause serious 

injury.

 WARNING: 

Always remove the battery pack from the product when you are assembling parts, 

making adjustments, cleaning, or when the product is not in use.

assembly to stabilize it, and use the other 
hand to hold an impact wrench (not included) to loosen the nut in a counterclockwise direction (Fig. 4).

6.  Remove the nut, washer, spool assembly, upper cover, bushing1# and Upper Cover Base, from the 

motor shaft (Fig. 5).

mount the Upper cover base assembly into 
place (Fig. 6).

assembly, washer and nut in that order. Use 
an impact wrench on the nut to tighten it.

cover assembly (Fig. 7).

4.  With one hand holding the trimmer, use the 

other hand to grasp the lower cover assembly and align the slots in the lower cover assembly with 
the release tabs. Press the lower cover assembly until it snaps into place, at which time you will 
hear a distinct click sound (Fig. 8).

5.  Start the tool to see whether the string trimmer will work normally. If it does not, reassemble as 

described above.

LINE REPLACEMENT

 WARNING:

 Never use metal-reinforced line, wire, or rope, etc. These can break off and become 

dangerous projectiles.

 WARNING: 

Always use the recommended 

nylon cutting line with a diameter that does not 
exceed 0.095 in. (2.4 mm). Using line other than 
that specified may cause the tool to overheat or 
become damaged.
The string trimmer is equipped with an advanced 
POWERLOAD

TM

 system. The cutting line can 

be wound onto the spool simply by pressing a 
single button. Loading a full spool can usually be 
completed in 12 seconds. Avoid repeated operation 
of the winding system in rapid succession to reduce 
the possibility of motor damage.

1.  Remove the battery pack from the trimmer.

2.  Cut one piece of cutting line 13 ft. (4m) long.

3.  Insert the line into the eyelet (Fig.9) and push 

the line until the end of the line comes out of 
the opposite eyelet.

NOTICE:

 It is not necessary to align the eyelets 

in order to insert the cutting line. If the line cannot 
be inserted into the eyelet, mount the battery pack 
onto the trimmer, then press the line-loading button
