Troubleshooting your Weed Eater electric line trimmer when it won't run

• Check the power supply. Make sure that the electrical outlet that you're using to power the trimmer is good. Plug a different item into the outlet plug to check for power. Reset the house circuit breaker for the outlet if it's dead.
• Check the extension cord for damage. Replace or repair broken wires in the extension cord if it's damaged.
• Unplug the line trimmer and check the power cord wiring connections to the trigger switch. Reconnect any loose wires and repair any broken wires.
• With the line trimmer still unplugged, check the wiring connections between the trigger switch and the motor. Reconnect any loose wires and repair any broken wires.
• If all wiring connections are okay, you may need to replace the trigger switch or the motor.

What to do when line won't advance on your Weed Eater electric line trimmer

• Unplug the line trimmer power cord to disconnect electrical power from the trimmer.
• Remove the cutting line spool cap and pull out the cutting line spool. Check the line wound on the spool and rewind the spool if cutting line is bound up or not wound on the spool properly.
• Properly route the cutting line through the cutting head so line feeds out freely through the spool and cutting head.
• Clear dirt and debris from the spool and cutting head that could be preventing line from advancing.
• Check all cutting head components for damage and wear. Replace any worn or damaged cutting head parts.
