    Why does grass wind around the head of my GreenWorks STF457?
    • S
      Sarah RobinsonSep 5, 2025
      If grass is winding around the trimmer head and motor housing of your GreenWorks Trimmer, it's likely because you're cutting tall grass at ground level. To prevent this, cut tall grass from the top down, removing no more than 8" in each pass.

      If the line on your GreenWorks Trimmer keeps breaking, it might be due to incorrect usage. Try cutting with the tip of the line, avoiding hard objects like stones and walls. Also, advance the cutting line regularly to maintain a full cutting width.

      If your GreenWorks Trimmer doesn't start when you pull the trigger, there are a few potential reasons. First, the battery pack might be depleted, so try charging it. Second, make sure you're pulling the lock-out button and the trigger simultaneously. Hold the lock-out button and then pull the trigger. Also, check the battery contact and reinstall the battery pack.

      Karen WelchAug 28, 2025
      If the line on your GreenWorks Trimmer isn't extending, it could be due to several reasons. The lines might be welded together, in which case you should lubricate them with silicone spray. Alternatively, there might not be enough line on the spool, so you should install more. If the lines are worn and too short, try extending them. Lastly, the lines could be tangled on the spool; remove them and rewind them neatly.

      If the line on your GreenWorks Trimmer is constantly breaking, it might be due to incorrect machine usage. To prevent this, cut with the tip of the line, avoiding stones, walls, and other hard objects. Also, advance the cutting line regularly to maintain a full cutting width.
