What to do if DeWalt Trimmer cutting head will not advance line?
- K
  Karen LewisAug 4, 2025
  If the cutting head of your DeWalt Trimmer won't advance the line, the following issues might be the cause: * The cutting head is bound with grass. Stop the engine and clean the cutting head. * The cutting head is out of line. Refill the cutting head with new line. * The inner reel is bound up. Rewind the line. * The cutting head is dirty. Clean the inner reel and outer spool. * The line is welded. Open the cutting head and remove the welded section. * The line is twisted. Rewind the line. * Not enough line is extended. Stop the unit, push the bump knob and pull the line until 4 inches (102 mm) is outside of the cutting head.

  If the cutting line on your DeWalt Trimmer advances uncontrollably, it may be because there is oil, cleaner, or lubricant in the cutting head. To resolve this, clean and thoroughly dry the cutting head.

Why won't my DeWalt XGST227CS engine start?
- D
  dawnramosAug 14, 2025
  Several factors can prevent your DeWalt Trimmer from starting. The fuel tank might be empty, so fill it with properly-mixed fuel. You may not have pressed the primer bulb enough; press it 10 times. The engine could be flooded; if so, move the choke lever to Position B, press the throttle lockout, squeeze the throttle control, and pull the starter rope until the engine starts. The fuel might be old (over 30 days) or improperly mixed; in this case, drain the fuel tank and add fresh, properly-mixed fuel. Finally, the spark plug could be fouled, requiring a replacement.

  If your DeWalt Trimmer engine lacks power or stalls, it could be due to several reasons. The fuel might be old (over 30 days) or improperly mixed, so drain the fuel tank and add fresh, properly mixed fuel. Another possibility is a dirty air filter, which you should clean or replace. Lastly, a fouled spark plug can cause this issue, and you'll need to replace it.

  If your DeWalt Trimmer engine isn't accelerating, the fuel might be old (over 30 days) or improperly mixed; drain the fuel tank and add fresh, properly mixed fuel. Also, the cutting head could be bound with grass; stop the engine and clean it. Finally, a dirty air filter can cause this, so clean or replace the air filter.

How to fix DeWalt Trimmer engine that won't idle?

  Heather ScottAug 28, 2025
  If your DeWalt Trimmer engine won't idle, the air filter might be dirty; clean or replace it. Alternatively, the fuel could be old (over 30 days) or improperly mixed; drain the fuel tank and add fresh, properly mixed fuel. Also, the idle speed might be incorrect, so adjust it accordingly.
