Answer
Man, my ratings are sure gonna take a hit today!

If you brought this trimmer to me at my shop I would instantly point you to the "big green box" in our lot. The "big green box" is the dumpster.  Ryobi is a secret code word for junk.  

Throw it away and buy a real trimmer.

I can buy a "new" Ryobi trimmer for 49.99, everyday in Kansas city. A good trimmer will cost 200.00 and you can't buy it at Lowe's or Depot.  You have to go to a dealer

I had trimmer on the brain last night.  I meant to say blowers every place I said trimmers.  Pricing is the same
