Can I Use Metal Blades Instead of Nylon Line?

No. Ryobi line trimmers are designed to operate only with flexible nylon trimming line.

 

Reasons:

  • The motor, guard, and drive system are not built to handle the weight or rigidity of metal blades.
  • Using a metal blade may damage the tool and create a serious safety hazard.

 

Recommendation:

  • Always use the manufacturer-recommended nylon line accessories for safe and effective trimming.
