Problem With Ryobi Trimmer.

I have a small 24 volt Ryobi trimmer and the line will not feed. I have to stop and re-do the spool after the line becomes to short to cut. Any suggestions?

There appears to be 2 types of reel. One is a tap to feed and the other is a fixed wire. Also there is a mention that the tap to feed reel needs to be pulled from what I casually read in the manual. I would recommend downloading the manual from this link and checking what type of reel you have. Winding in the correct direction is also important to feed correctly.
