Refilling the trimmer line spool on your Black and Decker GH3000 Trimmer can be a hassle unless you know a few tricks. In this video I'll show you how I do it quickly and easily in a way that prevents jams and breaks. One thing I want to point out is that you need to get the right type of line otherwise you will experience a lot of breakage. This is the line I use with a link to where you can get it:
At some point you will have to replace the spools. The line that comes with these is the same quality as the original.

Patricia Bird Sometime this can be tough as it is on mine. I am thinking that some gentle tapping with the handle of a small screw driver might just shake it loose. Gently tap, tap, tap... Also gently prying around the edges carefully might help. Just be sure to not use too much force. Thanks for stopping by, and good luck.

@johnsteward4573 5 лет назад

I don't know if you answer questions about older videos, but here goes. I have had no trouble in the past loading new line onto my trimmer. Yesterday, however, the line just kept feeding out, continously, creating a whirling line of death that left me with a cut leg. What position does the black doohickey (the technical term) need to be in when I push the spool back into position? I don't think I've lost or broken a piece of it. It doesn't have a spring, correct? Any insight you can give will be appreciated both by myself and my legs. Thanks.

@WorkMateGuy 5 лет назад

John Steward It sounds like to me that you did not have the spool completely seated in the receiving part of the head. It should snap into place and when you try to twist it, there is just very little play, if you can turn it more then a few degrees it is not seated correctly. Also, make sure that you have the correct side facing you when it's seated. If you see the jagged notches you have it in backwards. I hope this helps.

There's a little plastic rocker arm (or whatever you call it) underneath the spool. I found a video where it fell out allowing the spool to spin. He found the piece in his grass, re-installed it, and it worked. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ohj_2C2GW7E.html

@jenardbolt123 Год назад

For the last 18 months I've not let the lawn crew edge or use a weed eater in my back yard. ru-vid.comUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG I didn't like the fact that they just kept cutting the edge of the lawn further and further from the rock lining the flower beds and leaving bare ground. And the grass was trimmed or scalped several feet around trees, etc. It was a constant battle with them so I told them to just mow and no trimming. I have Zoysia grass so it grows pretty slow. Obviously after a while it could use some trimming. I'm in my 80's so I can't do much of it myself.Finally I decided that if I could find a lightweight battery powered trimmer I might be able to do some light trimming. I decided to buy the LST201 20V trimmer. And it works great for my needs. I have back yard with about 150' of flower beds and several trees to be trimmed. I can lightly trim the whole yard with a single charge! The grass I trimmed was only a few inches high but the trimmer was more powerful than I expected.

@Roger19669 5 лет назад

How do you take the spool off,?

@WorkMateGuy 5 лет назад

Hi Roger - If you are referring to the orange cap... just squeeze the two opposing indents and put it off. This will take some grip strength as they are rather tight. If you are referring to removing the spool inside the cap... you should be able to wiggle and pull it straight out. I hope this answers your question. Cheers!

@kaylabryson1932 3 года назад

You have to wind it tight and thread thru the hole in the orange cap. It will come loose just a little. But, should stay in place one you snap it into place.

@danmeredith6354 4 года назад

before putting the unit back together what position does the little finger have to be in .towards the outer cover OR inward..This wasn't explained and can effect the auto feed IF in wrong position

I have the same line trimmer and when you say " it's suppose to be tight and no move on the shaft once clicked in" mine once clicked in moves about half an inch back and forth and even though it's tight it seems to always shoot out. Am I missing a part?

@WorkMateGuy 3 года назад

Mine does wiggle back and forth about the same amount which it is designed to do. Perhaps try rotating it 90 degrees and resetting it?

@brucefrank6119 4 года назад

I do it just like that, and it refuses to automatically feed, I am constantly having to take the spool off and manually unwind the line, then reassemble. Line is tight and smooth on the spool, it just wears away till there is no line sticking out. I have tried OEM line, braided line, twisted line, two layer line that is supposed to feed better, and both larger and smaller diameter than the recommended .080" (2mm) line. Nothing has made any difference. I can also see no damage to the notches on the spool or damage to the pall, which moves smoothly. Might a little spray silicone lube on the pall or notches help?

@WorkMateGuy 4 года назад

Sounds like you are winding it correctly. Getting the spool seated in the housing is another issue. Once you have pressed it into the housing there should be a little play a few degrees in either direction. This indicated that the mechanisms are in alignment. Sometimes I have to reseat a few times to get it right. Let me know how it goes.
