I got this trimmer as a deal with my GW mower. The convenience and freedom of going cordless was very appealing. However, from the time of its very first use, this piece of crap has been nothing but frustrating. No matter how many times you bump the spool (pro tip...DO NOT BUY A BUMP TRIMMER!) the dual lines constantly end up retreating inside the trimmer causing you to have to constantly stop, open up the spool, and reset them, only to have it happen again minutes later. I have read and re-read the manual, watched countless videos, and attempted to fix this thing numerous times to no avail. Bottom line...it's JUNK, plain and simple.

Hello there,
We're sorry you're having issues with the line feed on your GreenWorks string trimmer. If the line keeps retreating back into the spool housing this may indicate the line is snapping at long lengths and the spool has been wound the wrong way.
First, always have the guard on the unit. There's a blade on the guard that helps to maintain the length of the line. Second, ensure you do not leave any line on the notches. The notches are design for storage and will prevent line feed if the line is not released from the notches. Third, check and ensure you are winding both lines the correct way.
Hope this helps!
If you're still having issues, please contact us at 1-888-909-6757. We're happy to help.
Quiet. Lightweight. Easy to maneuver. Easily stored. Takes up little to no space in my garage. Battery is long lasting. Easily changes from trimmer to edger and vice versa. I highly recommend the trimmer/edger combo
This is our 4th Greenworks tool and just like all the others it delivers above and beyond all expectations. Only downside is the cheep string it comes with.
The edger was a disappointment because position of trimmer (what is to be affected by position of trimming cord) is difficult to judge. The "guard" (curved metal opposite shield) is easily knocked out of position, thus is ineffective. I enjoy my 48V lawn mower, so the trimmer has been real disappointment.
