I'll send you a link to the manual.

Did you ever oil the cutters since you have owned it? Try this spray some PB Blaster on the cutters let it soak and then try running it. If you can't find that stuff just try some motor oil, pour it on let it soak and give it a whirl. Good Luck...

1. There is probably a hook type affair on the back of the trimmer that you are supposed to route the extension through to keep the plug from falling out.
2. I would never do what I am going to tell you for safety reasons. It is possible to get a piece of cord, a tie wrap or a hose clamp, adjust it to fit over the trigger and around the handle so that when you pull the trigger, you slip this tight fitting device over it and it keeps it held in tightly enough so you don't have to keep your hand on it. Be advised that this is dangerous in that if you drop the trimmer or hit the electric cord, the trimmer will continue to run uncontrollably until you can get to the power, slip the device off of the trigger or the trimmer cuts the electric cord.
It can be done, but as you can see, it can be very dangerous. These things can amputate fingers.

Yes. There should be a place to get one in your manual...Lee

the primer bulb needs to be replaced, if it has a small hole in it

need a carb kit and a new fuel filter in the gastank

Make sure your fuel line, with filter has slack to move around in fuel tank.

Check your fuel lines. It is probably getting air into the system. Also check inside the gas tank to make sure the fuel pick up line is still attached.


If you need more assistance please provide an exact model number and I can better help you.

Obviously, disconnect power from the mains...

Something has come loose inside the unit. You can disassemble the unit. Follow the power wires from the pigtail to the switch/trigger (<-- Most likely point of failure), then to the motor. Also, triple-check there is not reset button (a pop-out fuse of sorts) on that unit.
