What to do if the cutting head of my Ryobi Trimmer will not advance line?
- JJeffrey MitchellJul 29, 2025
If the cutting head of your Ryobi Trimmer won't advance the line, it might be due to several reasons. The cutting head could be out of line, the inner reel might be bound up, or the cutting head could be dirty. Indexing teeth might be worn or burred, the line could be welded or twisted when refilled, or there might not be enough line exposed. To resolve this, refill with genuine replacement cutting line, replace the inner reel, clean the cutting head reel/spool, replace the reel and spool, disassemble, remove the welded section, and rewind the line; or disassemble the cutting head and rewind the inner reel. Alternatively, push the Bump Knob and pull out the line until a minimum of 4 in (102 mm) is outside of cutting head.
