Question:
First of all, I recently purchased a FL25C and tried to register it at your website. I had to register it as a different model because my model was not listed in the drop down. My question concerns my first-time use of my FL25C. After about 15 minutes of use and several times having to stop the unit and manually pull out string, I notice that the shaft between the trimmer head and shield was very hot. It actually started to smoke and I immediately stopped the trimmer and left it to cool down. After it was cool, I restarted it and used for a few minutes when it got very hot again. Can you tell me what the problem is or if I should return the trimmer? Roseann M
