how to restring a spool on trimmer

Donald said it... the key is winding it tight and evenly, then prevent any unraveling as you thread the final end through the feed hole of the spindle case with about 4-inches protruding outside the case. I've done just one, and it has been in use most of the Summer. I hand wound it slowly and meticulously so it would feed properly, and so far it has worked without a problem.

If your spool is new, you should bump it on the ground while it is moving. Just press the trigger, then bump it on the ground. If your spool has fresh string put into it, you might have one of two problems. 1. chance that you didn't wind the string correctly or 2. the heat of the head might have fused the string together in which case you will have to go into the head and free the fused string.

If a B&D; spool can be home-wrapped (and it seems likely), you can probably find out how on the Internet, and the line size might be in the tool's specifications. I'm too lazy to wrap my own lines so I buy spools when on sale through Amazon, and I hated wrapping spools with my last trimmer!

I'm unsure what your question is asking...I will suggest the following - I will purchase just the string next time. I found the spool was poorly wound such that I had to unwind it to free the string from excessive overlapping. I then manually reattached the string and have had no issues since.

No turning spool, but after the hose has been in there for a few days, it's easy to get it back in. Must be done by hand every time, though.

Remove the spool. On the back side of the spool is a spring clip holding in a washer. Take the washer out and reverse the part. At least that is how I remember doing it.

My Greenworks Model 21052 trimmer uses dual line spools. If you cannot get replacement spools from the manufacturer, you will have to buy bulk line from any hardware store, and rewind the spools yourself. Be patient while doing it.

The spool is loaded with .105 lines so you won't need to worry about it. It is really easy to rewind and get back to work

Yes, I've been able to buy the replacement spring spool that has new line on it. Typically, the place I consistently have found it is at Ace Hardware. I really do like this trimmer 'cause it's light in weight and allows me to get really close whereas the ones with the little metal hoop projection are heavier and didn't let me get up close. It's an inexpensive unit, so it's worth a try :) Thanks for asking--hope my review helps.

To remove the spool tighten the drag and unscrew the spool in the direction of the arrow marked "spool removal".

Bop button on bottom of trimmer head. If that doesn't work take the string out and rewind it. Might be wound in opposite direction

The manual says that you can wrap the spool or buy them pre-wrapped. I have used my trimmer many times but haven't run out of string yet but I'm planning to try wrapping myself.

Cut 2 pieces of line of the same length, poke an end of each into the 2 holes in the head and wind them onto the empty spool by rotating it. It's relatively easy and the instructions are clear.

I did it a couple years ago so my memory is foggy, but do recall being stumped for a while and then suddenly discovering the solution. I think you have to take off the guard first. Here's a diagram that will help you see how it comes apart: http://www.ereplacementparts.com/black-and-decker-gh1000-type-string-trimmer-parts-c-4167_9518_183331.html

No not at all. If you have owned one in the past like I did it is exactly the same. You pop in the spool and feed the line through the hole. That's it and then lengthen to where you want the string.

Line up the arrows, run the line (designated length) through the head so that they are equal length on both sides. Twist the head until the line spools inside...leaving a little on each side. The trick is to not overload. I ran my trimmer hard initially and actually melted the plastic. I've been gentler with the trimmer since then and I haven't had a problem with the replacement. The 3rd party trimmer heads work pretty well. Shakespeare has a nice trimmer head you can use as well if you don't like the Troy Bilt
