what am i doin wrong? I'm asking because the weedeater SHOULDN'T be at fault, it's a toro.
I have the right guage line in it. I have the line wound the correct direction. yet every time I press the 'trigger' the line snaps off inside the hub.

Um, this is a bit far from computers but...

If the line is too long in the weekeater then it breaks off, only pull the line out enough for it to turn within the space provided but not touching the sides, oh and remember to wear gloggles because even a very tiny stone can cause a lot of bother if it gets under the eyelid.

not being critical fleamail butttt.....

This is the do it yourself forum

and he or she indicated the line broke off inside the hub

how about a model for the weedeater. maybe that would shed some light

normally one can buy the end/bottom as a unit and maybe that is the solution.

you could take the unit to a place that sells parts and repairs and i bet they will be able to tell you what is going on. i am guessing something is stripped but not sure

Mod. # 51355

and yes, the line is always short enough to clear the 'slicer' and still breaking INSIDE the hub

I'll wait to see if more replies come up before taking action........its a cheap unit......hoping it's just some little known secret fix to solve this

and your point is ??

if i cant get onto the site at toro then i would not have a clue how to help

if you are having fun then go to advanced and put in a smiley or whatever

otherwise i will not bother further

your call

that one is electric correct?

i did see that much as i recall

there are some better battery ones out there now if you only need general wacking

[unstresst]

electric yes.....had a different brand before....bought used .......it lasted a year then started doing just what the toro did.......that's what made me think I was doing something wrong..............is there a 'trick' to winding the line?

[wacor]

if there is a trick to winding the line i never was aware of it.

[SouthParkXP101]

electric weeb eaters are very cheaply made, the best you can get is a homelite or sthil

[lexmarks567]

www.toro.com comes up for me try it
