My trimmer line is always getting jammed. It's getting better as I have followed your suggestions and kept the line tight and layer after layer. I'm using three or four corner cut lines so it still gets jammed a little bit but it's much better than it used to. Thank you very much.

I don't know if you answer questions about older videos, but here goes. I have had no trouble in the past loading new line onto my trimmer. Yesterday, however, the line just kept feeding out, continously, creating a whirling line of death that left me with a cut leg. What position does the black doohickey (the technical term) need to be in when I push the spool back into position? I don't think I've lost or broken a piece of it. It doesn't have a spring, correct? Any insight you can give will be appreciated both by myself and my legs. Thanks.

@WorkMateGuy

John Steward It sounds like to me that you did not have the spool completely seated in the receiving part of the head. It should snap into place and when you try to twist it, there is just very little play, if you can turn it more then a few degrees it is not seated correctly. Also, make sure that you have the correct side facing you when it's seated. If you see the jagged notches you have it in backwards. I hope this helps.

You are certainly welcome Starleen. I just refilled 4 spools last weekend. I know what a pain they can be! Cheers!

I do it just like that, and it refuses to automatically feed, I am constantly having to take the spool off and manually unwind the line, then reassemble. Line is tight and smooth on the spool, it just wears away till there is no line sticking out. I have tried OEM line, braided line, twisted line, two layer line that is supposed to feed better, and both larger and smaller diameter than the recommended .080" (2mm) line. Nothing has made any difference. I can also see no damage to the notches on the spool or damage to the pall, which moves smoothly. Might a little spray silicone lube on the pall or notches help?

@WorkMateGuy

Sounds like you are winding it correctly. Getting the spool seated in the housing is another issue. Once you have pressed it into the housing there should be a little play a few degrees in either direction. This indicated that the mechanisms are in alignment. Sometimes I have to reseat a few times to get it right. Let me know how it goes.

Hey @WorkMateGuy 3:03 What if I am able to spin it? The line continues to come out way too much and end up wasting a lot of it

You should not be able to do a complete spin, only about 35 degrees. Seems like yours may not be seated correctly.

For the last 18 months I've not let the lawn crew edge or use a weed eater in my back yard. kzread.infoUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG I didn't like the fact that they just kept cutting the edge of the lawn further and further from the rock lining the flower beds and leaving bare ground. And the grass was trimmed or scalped several feet around trees, etc. It was a constant battle with them so I told them to just mow and no trimming. I have Zoysia grass so it grows pretty slow. Obviously after a while it could use some trimming. I'm in my 80's so I can't do much of it myself.Finally I decided that if I could find a lightweight battery powered trimmer I might be able to do some light trimming. I decided to buy the LST201 20V trimmer. And it works great for my needs. I have back yard with about 150' of flower beds and several trees to be trimmed. I can lightly trim the whole yard with a single charge! The grass I trimmed was only a few inches high but the trimmer was more powerful than I expected.
