To remove the Black and Decker trimmer spool holder, you’ll need to start by unplugging the trimmer from the power source. Once the trimmer is unplugged, you can begin removing the trimmer spool holder.
Depending on which model of Black and Decker trimmer you have, you may need a Phillips head screwdriver to unscrew the screws that hold the spool holder in place.
Once the screws are removed, you’ll be able to carefully pull the trimmer spool holder away from the trimmer. Be careful as you do this so as not to cause any damage to the trimmer. It’s a good idea to take a picture of how the trimmer spool holder is connected to the trimmer before you start the process so that you will know how to re-attach it once you’re done.
Next, you can unscrew the plastic cover of the trimmer spool holder in order to get to the spool and the line. Carefully take the spool and the line out of the trimmer spool holder and then use a wire cutter to cut the line to the length needed for the job.
Once the new line is in place, you can begin to put the trimmer spool holder back together.
Re-attach the screws and plastic cover, making sure everything is secure, and then you can plug the trimmer back into the power source and you’re ready to go. If you follow these steps, you should easily be able to remove and reinstall your Black and Decker trimmer spool holder with no problem.
How do you string a Black & Decker?
Stringing a Black & Decker is a simple process that requires minimal tools and is easy to do. To begin, you will need to unscrew the blade cover located on the top of the trimmer to expose the spool.
From there, feed the cutting line length-wise through the eyelet holes on the spool and leave a few extra inches of line to ensure the line tensions when in use. After this, feed the two ends of the cutting line through the two retainer holes on the spool as well as through the line exit hole located on the top of the trimmer.
Finally, carefully slide the spool back in its spot, replace the blade cover, and line is now properly strung.
How do you replace a double line Black and Decker trimmer?
Replacing a double line Black and Decker trimmer is relatively straightforward. Before beginning, make sure the trimmer is powered off and the spark plug has been removed. Begin by unscrewing the screws that are holding the outer plastic housing together, typically located near the handle of the trimmer.
After removing the housing, you will see the spool containing the two lines – black and orange, respectively. Remove the spool by pressing in the tabs, located at the base of the spool and gently pulling outwards.
Check the inside of the casing, and discard any old lines or scraps. Next, insert the new spool into the casing, making sure the tabs on the spool fit into the slots in the casing. Make sure to line up the arrows on the spool with the slots on the casing.
Replace the housing, making sure all screws are tightened securely. Once the housing is secured in place, if you have the manual, refer to it for help in attaching the lines and replacing the cap. If not, wrap the black line around one side, and the orange line around the other.
There should be arrows on the spool as well, indicating which sides the lines should be wrapped around. Reattach the spark plug and start the engine to test the trimmer, ensuring the lines are spinning correctly.
If your trimmer successfully begins running, you have successfully replaced the double lines.

How do you replace a dual trimmer line?
Replacing a dual trimmer line is relatively straightforward. Before getting started, you should always unplug the trimmer to ensure your safety. Once unplugged and the trimmer is no longer running, you can get started with the replacement process.
1. Begin by raising and locking the trimmer head in the raised position in order to gain access to the line cutters.
2. Using a pair of scissors, first remove the old line.
3. Then, prepare the new line. Most trimmers require that the line be cut to the same length, approximately 16-18 inches in total. It is important that you cut both strings exactly the same length, as this will ensure that the trimmer rotates correctly and evenly.
4. Then, insert one line through the hole in the trimmer head, knotting it securely at the nose.
5. Then, insert the other line, making sure it knotted securely at the nose as well.
6. Finally, lower the trimmer head to its locking position, ready to use.
Your dual trimmer line is now replaced and you can begin using your trimmer as normal.
How do you remove the head on a Craftsman v20 trimmer?

How does auto feed string trimmer work?
Auto feed string trimmers use a spinning spool to dispense trimmer line when needed. When the trimmer head is engaged, the spool spins and dispenses line through a small hole in the trimmer head. The trimmer head also has a blade which cuts the grass or other vegetation being trimmed as the line is dispensed.
A centrifugal force is created as the spool spins, which causes the trimmer line to be dispensed when the trimmer head is engaged. As the trimmer head is engaged and the line is dispensed, the blade inside the trimmer head cuts the grass and other vegetation.
The trimmer line then automatically retracts back into the spool, replenishing its supply as needed. This process can be repetitive and continues to happen each time the trimmer head is engaged. Auto feed string trimmers are typically used for trimming lawn edges, trees, or even larger grassy areas.
How do you wind a Black and Decker automatic feed spool?
To wind a Black & Decker automatic feed spool, first ensure the spool is empty. Open the feed spool lid and insert the string, with the tip of the string facing up, into the arrow directional marker at the top of the spool.
With even pressure, wrap the string over the other side of the spool, then pull the string downward and toward the center of the spool. Continue in this manner until the spool is full, wrapping the string around the periphery evenly and tucking the string underneath the previous layer of string.
Once the spool is full, cut the string with scissors, leaving at least 2-3 feet of extra string for future use. Finally, close the spool lid and secure it shut with the small clasp. You have successfully wound your Black & Decker automatic feed spool.
Why is my Black and Decker not feeding line?
The most common reason is that the spool of line may be empty, so check and make sure that you have loaded a spool of line all the way to the top. Additionally, you may need to adjust the tension on your spool.
This can usually be done by loosening the screw on the spool cap, which can be found on the body of the trimmer. Make sure you do not over-tighten the tension, as this may cause the line to become jammed.
Also, check that you are using the correct size line for your trimmer. If the line is too thick for the trimmer, the line may become jammed or may not feed through the trimmer at all. Finally, if the trimmer has been in storage for a long period of time, the internal mechanisms may have corroded or gotten gummed up with dirt and debris.
If this is the case, you may need to take the trimmer apart and clean the pieces thoroughly before reassembling them.
Is bump feed or auto feed better?
The answer to this question depends on personal preference, skill level, and the task you are attempting to perform with your trimmer or edger. Bump feed trimmers use a spinning head that cuts bits of string when it comes into contact with the ground.
The head needs to be tapped against the ground regularly in order to keep the string cutting edge sharp. This type of trimmer requires a more experienced hand as you need to ensure the string is at the correct length for the most efficient cutting.
Auto feed trimmers have a mechanism that automatically advances the string when it is running low. This is beneficial for those who are less experienced with trimmers, as it requires less effort and more precise control.
It is also beneficial for users who need to access hard to reach areas, as the feed mechanism can eliminate the need for tapping the head manually. Ultimately, it all depends on the task at hand, your level of expertise and what you are most comfortable with.
