  If the cutting attachment on your Yard Machines Trimmer won't advance the line, there are several things to check: * First, stop the engine and clean the cutting attachment, as it might be bound with grass. * If the cutting attachment is out of line, refill it with a new line. * A bound inner reel may require you to replace it. * Also, a dirty cutting head may be the problem, so clean the inner reel and outer spool. * If the line is welded, disassemble, remove the welded section, and rewind it. * If the line was twisted when refilled, disassemble and rewind the line. * Finally, if not enough line is exposed, push the bump knob and pull out line until 4 inches (102 mm) of line is outside of the cutting attachment.

  If your Yard Machines Trimmer engine won't start, several issues could be the cause. First, make sure the On/Off control is in the ON position. Also, check if the fuel tank is empty and fill it with properly-mixed fuel if needed. Ensure you've pressed the primer bulb fully and slowly 10 times. If the engine is flooded, use the starting procedure with the choke lever in the RUN position. Old or improperly mixed fuel can also be a culprit, so drain the gas tank and add fresh fuel mixture. A fouled spark plug or a plugged spark arrestor might also be the reason; in that case, replace or clean the spark plug or clean or replace the spark arrestor.
