Trimmer 'popping' thread instead of neatly trimming

[mikeiarocci22]

i cleaned the trimmer on our brand new XTS the other day now when i run the machine the trimmer is popping the thread instead of just cutting it. I don't know if that would be the correct term but when i watch the machine run and it comes to a trim the thread will shoot up out of the needle and it makes a popping sound almost as if you were to pull on the thread hard enough to make it snap? Anyone have this issue before or does anyone have a solution?

Thanks,

Mamma Kass is pointing you in the right direction with the link to a past posting....

The XTS incorporates the newest trimmer referred to as the ACAT.

Regardless of machine type, pushrods drive the selector/knife system. When cleaning the system, you may have inadvertently lifted one of the wire pushrods out of their pin holes....check this carefully...

thanks for the replies i'm going to see if i can tell if the pushrods are out of place.
