My trimmer is eating the line instead of spiiting it out. What is happening?
Is this a good question?

What is happening is the 2nd part of the easy feed head is upside down. The black inside spinner is what I am speaking of, when you remove the cap with the spring on it. The inside spinner has a L on one side and flip it over, a R on the other side. The R is what goes into the head ( facing the sky when in motion) the L should be facing the ground when in motion, so long as this is done properly, load the head when sealed with 10 ft of line, and turn on the trimmer. It will hold the line and release when bumped. God bless !
You are correct! Turn that inner ring over and make sure it's facing the right way and all's well.

Straight shaft trimmers with fixed line heads follow the Fixed Line instructions. Most Echo, Husqvarna, Stihl and Weedeater trimmers follow these instructions. Bit deeper and the head will offer some resistance once you try to turn it opposite to.
Spot on! Was getting very frustrated that every time I bumped to advance it would suck the string inside the casing. Never would have guessed they assembled it backwards. Also, contrary to the instructions, you now have to wind new strong COUNTER clockwise.
whether counter or clockwise, it depends of whether you are facing the part of the head that faces the ground or the part that faces the sky. If you face the L when winding, the direction is counter clockwise; the same direction from the opposite side is clockwise. I had to think about it, not being mechanical.
