Sorry, mine just stopped working pretty sooner after purchase. Took it to designated repair shop, no parts available. Greenworks sent me another model for replacement, no problems so far, better design.

Give up on tthis trimmer and go buy a new one!! It'sjunk, and this model is disconnected. We are most unhappy with this product. Ours was new last summer.

I did have the same problem when I first used it. I shut off the trimmer and moved the blade head with my hand ( or hit it on your palm) and it was fine after that.

Bop button on bottom of trimmer head. If that doesn't work take the string out and rewind it. Might be wound in opposite direction

Possibly, the trimmer shaft is not engaged. See if you can push it on all the way to where the motor shaft tubing becomes larger, before you tighten the wing-screw to lock it in place.

I had the problem too. It cutoff automatically after run 15 min. I took to repair shop, but the problem can't be fixed. Finally I sent back the trimmer.

The battery didn't hold a charge after about 8 months.I continue using it plugged in because otherwise It is an outstanding trimmer. I have had 3 or 4 different brand trimmers over the years and all of them have been disappointing as far as battery life is concerned.

Hi al, the spool that came with the trimmer is the only one i have and the spool #that came with the trimmer model # 51480 is ( spool # 88512 ) also the same thing happened to me as my neighbor and after about 4 months the auto advance line dosen't work anymore and as soon as the trimmer line breaks you have to advance by hand, a real pain, hope this helps you a little, sandy.

I'm sorry I can't help you. I haven't had mine quite that long, but haven't had any problems with it. I'm guessing the plastic catch has worn out. There is a 1year warranty, so if you contact the mfg, they may send you a new part.

I had that happen after a year or so. I took it apart and gently lifted the springs that hold the battery to reset them to hold it tighter. It worked. AND clean the battery contacts with a pencil eraser.

Trimmer worked just fine. No issue with the trimmer. The box had been opened and re-sealed. Could have been defective box package from the factory ? Could have been a return and the box re-sealed ? Whatever the cause of the open box, it didn't affect the quality of the trimmer inside. I tossed the box and used the trimmer. The trimmer fit the need.

I bought the trimmer last summer, used until November, and a few times this spring. I haven't had to replace the string yet. It autofeeds appropriately.....not too long or too short. Compared to my last cordless trimmer from B&D;, this one is much lighter and better.

Mine was a piece of junk after a year. It would turn on by itself and when I pushed the button to turn it on to use it it wouldn't turn on. I went out an bought a Wahl.

I would not recommend this trimmer. My first was delivered and would not assemble and I am now waiting for the manufacturer to sent me a replacement for the second because it stopped recharging. If I had to do it again I'd spend a little more for a better trimmer.

I just bought it yesterday and this happened after the first time I used it. I can't turn it off unless I plug it in. I was just checking Amazon to see if this was a typical issue. I'll call Wahl today to see if I can get a replacement since I don't know about refunds after using it.

I changed my spool for the first time last week. I've had the trimmer for two years. Granted, I have a very small yard, but I never imagined it would last that long. A 3-pack was pretty reasonable at Lowes.

I have the same problem on two I have. The exception is they only run 4 seconds. I talked to Moultrie CS and they said there is a reset button on the timer. Haven't looked yet because they are in the woods. Give them a call. Maybe they will get after it if there are more calls received.

My first wouldn't go together either. Amazon sent me a replacement. My second wouldn't hold a charge. Toro then sent me a replacement. I'm on my third and it's only been since May 2014 I started using it! I'm shopping for a back up trimmer....,
