The line won't auto-feed and I have to stop and manually pull it out every few minutes. HALP!

I have the same problem with mine.I stop and turn the head up and push the little button on the side of the head to get extra string out.I believe if they would put .080 string on the head instead of .065,it would help.It might not solve the auto-feed problem,but at least the string wouldn't break so often. Sorry,I couldn't help.

My auto-feed wont work either, I tried several times to get it to advance the line, I'm guessing its just broken. I have to stop what I am doing and press the button near the spool every few feet. I'm going to give it a better look tonight but I think I made a mistake with this purchase.

That's only happened to me once. Pop the spool cap off (squeeze the two sides and pull it) and look at the spool of line. It's possible you have some sort of knot in the line stopping it feeding freely. If so, pull it out and rewind it. I've had very few problems with it, though if you're whacking weeds close to concrete or stone, for instance, it will wear quite fast, requiring stopping every minute or two to feed more line. BTW, you should hear the line feed click just before the head stops turning. The thing is designed for about a 1/4" feed on each stop/start.

I don't have a problem but the line only feeds out about a quarter of an inch every time you start it so it may have to be left to stop and then restart it several times so that more line can feed out again. The line only feeds out in increments. I never have to manually pull it out.

the line feeder is tide to the trigger, every time you press the trigger and release the line feeds thru, hope this helps

Yes - I had that problem too and the solution was to buy better line and wind on two 10 or 12 ft. lengths, and then when you are cutting, keep bumping out more line so it does not break off at the hole so often.

Sorry I can't help... This weekend the same thing happened to the unit I bought for my Mom. Please let me know if you find an easy fix for this problem.

I am having the same problem. Just stopped. Will try a few of these suggestions.

I had the problem at first too. I discovered when you fill it to the line, it doesn't work. So, I go a little below the line and it works fine. Try that!

I have the same issue. It is just one of those things you're going to have to deal with. You can try maybe looking at the owners manual but I have never seen anything for it. Sorry I couldn't help!

I had the same problem and replacing the antenna corrected the streaming. I was able to change volume and programs and the blue LED would light up but no streaming. I heard a pop when I was pulling the loop over my head. Checked and there was no continuity (internal break) in the antenna. New antenna fixed my streaming problem.

If you can put it in another item try that. If not just unplug it from your computer or whatever you're hooked to and hook it later. Try switching them as well

Hi,You need to supply your own extension cord. It plugs in at the handle, with a little loop to help hold it in place. I used a velcro strip to hold it better, as it would sometimes come loose. Really, though, pay attention to complaints about the auto-feedling line. It's a pain. For what this thing costs, it could work better.

On the one I had there was a plastic plug on top. Pull that out and fill to fill line. If yours doesn't have one there I'm not sure where it would be.

Fortunately I have not had this problem. I have restrung the smaller unit. I suggest you take a heavy duty wire, like electrical ones you use wiring your house. Run it through the unit as a leader and pull the string through. Don't know if this will work but it is what I did before. Good luck. Frank

I'm not 100% sure but I don't think so. Mine is just over a year old and I am having problems with the auto feed.

Actually you dont have to do anything. Ours did not reload but "snap back" automatically. So yours is eventually a "monday-production". You should send it back!

Ive had the same problem u gotta use deepness 2 make sure you're paper is completely in line and pull the paper just a little just so it feeds through smooth

I had to replace the entire unit so I'm probably not much help. I'd give their support center a call -- they may be able to troubleshoot it remotely. Good luck.

Make sure you have charged the top of the feeder. It will have a green onsite near the off/on switch. To test it touch the feeder and push the remote button. You should get a slight shock if it is working!

I went into menu/source" and changed the input to "HDMI". The line went away!!If you dont have HDMI, change the input source to whatever you are using. This should get rid of the line.You should not see the line in any setting e.g. 16:9, 4:3, just scan etc.
