What’s the Difference Between Bump Feed and Auto Feed?

09/02/2026, 16:50

Bump Feed: With a bump feed trimmer, you manually release more line by tapping the trimmer head on the ground. Each tap feeds a small amount of line, giving you control over how much is extended.


Auto Feed: An auto feed trimmer automatically advances the line when you release the trigger. This allows for continuous cutting without stopping to manually feed more line, making it faster and more convenient for larger jobs.
