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

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

Yes, that is why I purchased 2 of these for replacement line for my Greenworks Weed Eater. Just follow the instructions that you got with your Greenworks on winding the spool with replacement line. I hope this helped you.

If you are using the pre-rolled spools its pretty easy. Put the end of the trimmer string thru the hole in the side of the spool housing, slip the spool into the housing making sure the right side is up. (Will say on spool). Replace the cap. Push button on side of hoiding and release enough string to reach cutting blade and that's it.

There is a switch you have to push first in order to squeeze the trigger in order to operate it. You have to maintain pressure on the trigger in order for it to run. A lock would not be a safe feature to have on a hedge trimmer.

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.

Thank you, can I use the empty spool from the original Ryobi Line and Spool?

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.

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!

Sometimes it doesn't feed properly, but most of the time the line feeds properly so you can keep on working. My experience is that when the line gets pulled really tight the line welds itself to the spooled line and you have to pull that apart. IHMO, overall it is the best trimmer I ever used. I like the single line as the double lines seem to use up a lot of line and you're constantly changing the spool. It is hard to find in the local stores, so I've order a couple (over the past few years) from Amazon.

So far, this is the only flaw I've found. The threads on the cap are too flexible and if you over-tighten (like I did) the cap get's stuck or stops threading. So far, I haven't found a good replacement. I'm looking around for a plug instead of a cap, but the opening is a bit odd shaped. I'll let you know if I find an easy solution, but for now I just have a small rag rolled up and jammed in the hole. It's not a solution, but I had work to do. lol

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.

My instruction manual says to use Black & Decker replacement spool Model #AF-100 and replacement cap RC-100. It does say that you can rewind the spool with .065 inch (1.65) DIAMETER ROUND NYLON MONOFILAMENT LINE, but you have to be very careful when winding the line onto the spool. You might want to check you instruction manual for further instructions.

Great question.... I haven't had to buy new line for it yet but with my other black and decker trimmer I simply took the wheel cartridge inside, that the line attaches to, and just took it to Home Depot and asked them to help me match it, and it was quick. It seems to be a pretty standard line, easy to find especially with a sales associate helping you.

Yes, you can use standard weed wacker line. You just cut it to the right length, and put it through the holes the same way you do with the pre-cut stuff. I can't remember the size; this fall I was still using the pack of replacement lines I bought with the machine, but I have a friend who uses the standard line instead of purchasing the special replacement ones.

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

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!

No spool cap. Spool and line pre-wrqpped only. Just as pix shows. Go to manufacture, maybe they offer parts.
