Can I refill the spool with trimmer line from another maker? If so, how do I do it?

Yes, just make sure it is the same diameter, 0.065-inch. To load, you secure one end of the line into the hub and wind it into one spool until full and secure the other end of the line into the notch on the edge of the spool, then repeat on the neighboring spool but in the opposite direction. It can be tricky until you get the hang of it. Not sure if there is any real difference between brands. I tried Weed Eater lines and they work and break and bind just like the original.

Yeah, you should be able to. You refill it the same way as with the line that came with it. Just use the same size line. Owners manual should explain further.

Good question, I have not tried to do it with another brand. Does the manual have anything in there regarding this?

you can buy the spool on line by the model or just re-load the empty one with the type of string you like thinner is better

Just found where you can get the spool. www.peoplepoweredmachines.com. I just ordered one.

I have not yet changed the line on my GH710 but am almost positive it uses 2 pieces of line. I buy precut refills that I wind on the spool myself. I have found the line more that adequete thickness to not only trim along side of house, but even edge around the drive way and sidewalk. You either got a defective line spool or you are not using the trimmer according to directions, be sure you read directions for optimum use. I have had absolutely no problem with it honestly.

The only way is to remove the spool cover by squzziing the prongs on the spool cap then remove and wind. Refer to Owners Manual. But Yes you can . I bought a 2 pack refill kit from Amazon for $7 it's from B&D original equip . I would highly recommend doing that instead of buying cheap line and doing it yourself . You might save a buck but it even comes pre loaded and that's hard to beat . Hope that gives you something to think about .

I do reload the spools of my Black & Decker weed eater by hand, and it takes under a minute. The key is locking the lead end of the string into the provided hole (on the spool) and winding under moderate tension (and without criss-crossing the string) in the direction shown by observing the arrow symbol embossed on the spool. I never wind past the embossed capacity line. The webbed sheath included on this product helps keep excess line from spinning off, so I'm able to control how much line pays out while respooling. Hope this helps!

Yes, I refill mine all the time. I use a multiple-edged line, works better.

I changed my spool for the first time last week. I've had the trimmer for two years. Granted, I have a very small yard, but I never imagined it would last that long. A 3-pack was pretty reasonable at Lowes.

How do you obtain the replacement string for this trimmer? The other brands have replacement spools for their trimmers which are sold through Amazon. I asked Amazon's customer service this question and was given Greenworks' e-mail address but haven't received any response from Greenworks -- is there a "generic" spool that fits this trimmer?

Line does not come on the reel spool when you receive it. Line is very easy to put on the spool and you should have no problem doing this. You can go on to the Penn web site and you will fined the information concerning extra reel spools for the Penn FRC6000. Thanks Bill

I have not used up my first spool, but from what I have read, you CAN re-spool the line. That will certainly save us some cash for sure. YouTube has many videos showing how to re-spool. Not sure if there is one for Worx weed trimmers, but it should follow the same methods as others.

Yes. You can re-load the spool that came with the machine. I bought a much thicker string because the small string that comes with it breaks way too easy. Now with the thicker string it works great. I'm very pleased with it and the battery life is good.

I didn't see anything on Amazon, other than line you would have to wind on the spool you have. I'd call Greenworks directly:1-888-90-WORKS

I tried to get a different string head as well. I have bought every conversion package at the big boxes. No luck. I even had a guy try machining on adapter. Didn't work either. What I want to put on it is a non spool feed with very heavy line. Then new 36V Lithium battery powered trimmer seems to have a single string and a shorter one as well.

Yes there is one on the trimmer when you by it and replacements are available from worx.. one also comes with replacement spools..

I believe you can spool any preferred floss onto the reel, however, I have used these for years and have yet to run out of spool before the plastic crank mechanism breaks down.

I bought mine just for that purpose but it did not fit the trimmer.whiich is the GH1000 I ended up using just the inner spool and line. Seems B&D has made enough of a change in design that this spool does not insert properly into the shaft.
