Why Does My Line Keep Breaking?

Common causes of line breakage include:

  1. Incorrect line diameter
    • Using a line that is too thick or too thin for your model may cause improper feeding and increased snapping under load.
  2. Contact with hard surfaces
    • Cutting against concrete, brick, fences, or other hard objects wears down the line quickly.
    • Friction and stress from hard surfaces cause premature line breakage.
  3. Worn or damaged spool components
    • Check for cracked spools, worn eyelets, or faulty bump mechanisms.
    • Damaged components can lead to inconsistent line feed and increased snapping.


How to Reduce Breakage:

  • Use the recommended line size for your specific tool.
  • Inspect and maintain all spool parts regularly.
  • Avoid unnecessary contact with hard surfaces.


Tip: Proper line selection and careful trimming technique can significantly extend the life of your trimmer line.
