Can I use a single line on the GH710? Will the cap locked properly so I turn on weeder, cap & spool w/not fall out?

I'm pretty sure the single-line spools won't fit, I looked at my leftover spools from my old B&D; when I got the 710 and realized they wouldn't work. I don't remember the difference, just my disappointment :o)

The spool is made for two lines but I have tried using a single line and it doesn't cut very well. The line on this is too thin to begin with but having only one line just isn't good enough to do the job if you have more than a small patch of grass to cut. I was getting uneven cuts, it appeared to be tearing the grass instead of cutting it. If you only have to trim a small amount of really thin grass it might work ok but otherwise I wouldn't bother.

What I had to do was basically create a "single use" don't waste your time trying to upload a bunch of string for multiple uses, what I did was I bought an extra piece and I would tie knots in 2 pieces, I could do my small lawn usually without using the back up, but loading with extra line won't work it just spews out, but if you tie a knot with 2 pieces and put it in, have a back up cap for quick replace you should be good for small jobs, hope this helps

p.s. once I got the hang of reloading the double-spool, I just use cheap string from Walmart or amazon instead of buying expensive prefilled spools.

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.

I've been reloading with cheap refill spools. I don't know if using a single line would throw it off balance. It's automatic feed, and it seems the least disturbance seems to make it spit out a couple of feet of line. I'm definitely going to try C's suggestion to tie knots so it won't feed.

Never tried it this way. Not suggested operation. Follow manufactures design. Balance problems create worn parts when not following original design specifications. I buy already spooled line. Buy another type of tool if dual lines are not needed.

I have done both. I bought a single spool at ~$8 (has ~30 ft). I then bought some bulk line, ~400ft, for $6. I put the new spool on my trimmer. And then manually wound about 30 ft onto the empty spool. It took me all of 2 minutes. Its much easier then some other spools I have tried to add line too. I prefer the line I bought too compared to what comes on it. It seems to last a little longer while edging. I just picked it up at my local Ace.

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 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.

You can use the regular 0.065 line that comes in bulk 200" I do not think that 0.095 will fit as you cannot get the line in holding slot.Only point getting line and spool is if you lost/broke spool.

There is a drain hole on the underside of the main round tank that comes with a locking cap, if that is what you are referencing. All of the other fittings are standard. I had no problems hooking up the fittings to my Intek pool.

You can read the instruction manual online to get further information. But it uses .065 line--NOT .070. You can wrap it yourself, but the recommendation is to use a factory-wound spool. The reason for that is that it is nice and straight on the spool. No tangling whatsoever. If you wind it yourself, you might get some tangling. One thing I will say is that we have whacked a LOT of weeds in our backyard since getting this weed whacker about a month or so ago, and haven't run out of our first spool yet. We like this product so far!

Press the tabs on both sides of the spool and pop the cap off, there are hash marks on the tabs like this /////// Make sure when you put in the new spool that the ridges, or gears are down and the tabs line up. Pop the cap on and your ready to go.

The model no of the spool that I purchased for it is 88512. I am sorry I bought the trimmer though, because it is impossible for me to install a new spool on it. Because it is a dual spool, one line goes one way and the other goes the other way. I just had my 55 y.o.son try to do it for me and he could not do it either. So now I have a trimmer and 2 spools that I can't use. Excuse the venting. You didn't ask how I liked it, but had to get it out.

Yes, by hand. I've done it so many times now, I can estimate how much line I need for my grass trimmer. This allows me to cut the amount of line I need from the Maxpower spool and then wind it into the grass trimmer. The entire process takes me less than two minutes.

My main complaint with this spool is that it only has one line feed. Can I buy a spool with 2? The single line feed seems to just swirl the grass around but not cut it so well - I think this would be solved by a double feed.

Not too sure which piece you are referring to. If it is behind the front skirt you are are referring to the spool. The line should come off freely. If you are talking about the skirt it should just unscrew. Reply if you have any more information.

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.

Your 0.065 line on hand should work fine. Yes, the spool that comes installed on the trimmer can be rewound.

Definitely yes. I do have the GH900 trimmer and the spool fits perfectly without any problems.

no... only uses craftsman spool...the unit is great for light yard work...grass trimming. weed wacking not so much. I like mine and it fits my needs... not for heavy duty use !
