how does the line feed work?

I agree with the other poster here. I had an older B&D; model which fed great. Over so many years of use it finally came to an end. I purchased this one and the line does not seem to feed out as good as the old one. For that reason, it is not cutting or edging too good. I might look into a higher priced model or go with gas.

It is suppose to automatically feed itself....but half the time I have to undo the bottom and pull the feed out.My suggestion is that you get the 12 inch (so wish I had).

It's automatic. The line feeds out the correct length while the trimmer is operating.

According to the instructions you DO NOT tap like other weed-eaters, It senses when it needs more line and so far mine feeds out just great!

Not sure what u mean. With my feeder the nectur comes out just fine. I'm sorry if I misled you.

I've had one for several years. I never could figure out how to load line in correctly. I ended up getting an aftermarket attachment at Lowes. Shakespeare ugly head I believe it's called.

My experience is that the self feeding typically works as intended. I have found that some spools will have the line wrapped very tight and the "helix" design allows the line to get wedged together in the spool. Unspooling and respooling a couple of feet seems to fix that issue for me.

Yes - there are two feed lines, one for hot and one for cold. The handle swivels to "blend" the water temp.

It's been awhile since I mounted it. My best guess it was a 1/2 inch. I sized the bit next to mount and bore the hole. When you look at the picture the feed line is 1/4 inch tubing.

Howdy! 8) I can't find any info on this site or HP's site about manual feeds for this printer. I do some printing on fine art metals and need to hand feed the metal paper (usually through a slot in the back) so it doesn't bend. Usually when your printer feeds from a paper tray, it grabs the paper and bends it up, into and through the printer. But fine art metals don't bend so they can't feed through the auto/paper tray. Does anyone know if there's a manual feed option on the B8550 that would keep the paper flat?

Continuous feed means that the control is totally manual. You turn it on and it grinds until you turn it off. There are no "Sensors" to turn it on and off.

I don't know what you mean by auto feed feature. The paper is put in at the top of the machine and it is mechanically pulled in for printing. Standard feature on all printers of this type as far as I know.

It does not. I mounted it to an existing post to replace another feeder I had.

I am sorry I can't be specific because I was so disappointed in the performance of the "heavy Duty" that after it broke the second time I just gave up and trashed it. We are using the extra feed we bought by mixing it and pouring it down a piece of pipe I drilled holes and just push into the ground. We also mix the feed and spade 1 shovel depth and pour it in.

From the Amazon description: "...Capacity double line: 440 lbs Capacity single line: 220 lbs Line feed: 38 Ft/Min." If you double the line, it will lift at 19 F/M. 38 F/M. I see maybe a 10% reduction under a 300 lb. load.

I do not know as I have not yet used it that much. I bought it to use in some library research and have not yet started that aspect of my research. Also, I will not be using the automatic feeder very much.

I've been reloading with cheap refill spools. I don't know if using a single line would throw it off balance. It's automatic feed, and it seems the least disturbance seems to make it spit out a couple of feet of line. I'm definitely going to try C's suggestion to tie knots so it won't feed.

Hi Pooran, I can tell you it has a line in only, I don't know if it would work as you described, sorry

It self feeds, but is not perfect. However, it is better than my corded weed whacker in this regard. What I do like is the guide that helps keep me from hitting a tree trunk or fence post which I find is usually the primary cause of my problems with the line breaking.

It is continuous feed. You run the faucet, turn on the switch then feed in food waste.
