how to fix my homelite line trimmer F2020?

the rotor that the line is attached to spins fine, but has no power and stops rotating when the line comes in contact with the grass

john, this is a direct drive model, so maybe the drive shaft has slipped out of the drive points at head or at bottom of shaft. try loosening the bolts at head and pushing shaft in thight, then tighten holding bolts. repeat operation for trimmer head end. also ensure that trimmer head is fully engaged onto shaft, sometimes they seem to be engaged but there is a.5cm shortfall.
otherwise, maybe the drive shaft iteself is "tired". easy to fix, as these are almost a universal product. any good mower shop should have replacement drive shafts
