whipper snipper

 Can anyone tell me what (my husband's) doing wrong with his Husqvana whipper
snipper. The line is forever breaking. I'm sure he could get more use from
it, but until then, he's doing lawn edges with handshears!!!
Appreciate any advice.

Wrong size or cheap line? Snipping too close to the head (should be the
length of the line about 4/6 inches)
See your local Husqvarna dealers and ask They will know what is the best
line for your model.
Remeber its not a mower and also use a face gaurd...

 I have a Husky as well and hate it!
Appart that it is a mongral to start; the line seams to bind together in the
head and the smooth edged line seams worse than the star shaped stuff from
BigW.
Buy thicker line (than recomended from BigDub and shave down the lead in so
that you can wind it onto the spool.
Don't put too much on the spool, a loosely wound half is about right, you
are better off with half the amount that you can use than a heap that gets
bound up and breaks.

Next time I save the money and buy a cheapie from BigW.

 g'day dow,

the husky shouldn't be givng problems they are one of the better brands,
might come back to who tunes it for you? dunno.

if you have problems with line welding together in the head moisten it with
wd-40 or similar before spooling it on, also welding can happen when using
line to cut grass that is too heavy or when other attachement should be
used. but again if you parctise getting the tip of the nylon to cut you can
cut heavy grass be it slowly.

i buy medium priced nylon and always the recommended thickness for the
machine.

true never overload the spool, and try to wind it on as evenly as possible
when loading the spool.

Crappy line, I had the same problem with my Honda, brand A works fine, brand
B always breaks at the head in about 30 seconds.
