  Laura SpearsAug 19, 2025
  If the string on your Homelite Trimmer isn't advancing, consider these possibilities: * **String welded to itself:** Lubricate with silicone spray. * **Not enough string on spool:** Install more string. * **String worn too short:** Pull the strings while alternately pressing down on and releasing the bump head. * **String tangled on spool:** Remove the string from the spool and rewind it. * **Engine speed too slow:** Advance the string at full throttle.
