can i rewind spool myself or do i have to replace entire spool?

These spools are designed to feed out two strings and therefore have a split or dual wound spool. If you really wanted to buy a big roll of the correct size diameter plastic string and rewind your spool, you could do it. I prefer to avoid the aggravation of needing three hands to do it and the replacement spools are only about $9.00 for a package of three. They last all summer long, and it is much easier. The string is blue in color, and fairly thin.

You can do it either way. The least expensive way is doing it yourself but the simpliest is buying the piece already done.

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 think you turn the rear drag counter clock wise or just hold it and unscrew the spool several turns counter clockwise. The guy at Dick's sporting goods helped me when I purchased line for him to spool new line.

If you check the gauge of the line you can usually buy pre-packed spools that are cheaper than Black & Decker. I'm not sure what you mean by using your own line.

Hi, Yes you are able to unwind the spoon and replace it with a new fishing line (which I would recommend unless you like dealing with tangled line after a few caught fish) or replace the entire reel and keep the same fishing pole. My 5 year old daughter cough 4 trouts last weekend and enjoy the easy cast system.

I wouldn't know as mine isn't a Brither, but most machines should have a rewinder built into them. On the top of the machine you can load a bobbin and then rewind onto it.

Curtis, it is very easy to change the spool. don't worry too much, you won't have any problems with changing it. very simple thing to do. if you know how to mow and trim your lawn you should be able to do it. one very important thing to keep in mind. the spool, once you need to refill the line, you will have to wind it up neatly otherwise it won't work!! let me know if you have anymore questions.

Yes. Your machine should have an accessory pack that includes a plastic attachment that keeps the spool of thread on. If you don't have one, you can take a piece of styrofoam and push it through the thread post to hold the spool on.

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.

I'm not an expert. I did give this thing a low star rating, and a B&D; representative contacted me. Maybe if you do the same, someone from B&D; will contact you. Or try their website. I'm still pretty frustrated with this thing. I bought some bulk line and wound the existing spool, and it's semi-functional. Good luck.

Depending on the manufacturer, most manufacturers do splice in at an end of a braid when resetting a machine. But this is one in so many spools.

You can always rewind your own spools vs. buying new spools. My advice: don't buy this product. Trust me. Buy an electric or gas powered trimmer instead.

I'm unsure what your question is asking...I will suggest the following - I will purchase just the string next time. I found the spool was poorly wound such that I had to unwind it to free the string from excessive overlapping. I then manually reattached the string and have had no issues since.

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!

Hold the twine with the big end down. Somewhere in the top third of the twine there will be an 'end' of the twine. Part of it is tucked up under the wound twine. Gently pull this 'end' until the tucked part is released and you can unwind the twine as much as you like. I usually 'retuck' the end of the twine after I use it. There may be another 'end' on the bottom of the spool. It's the end the spooling machine started winding with and is impossible to use to unspool the twine. I hope this helps.

I forgot to answer the spool issue: sometimes the spool-feed does not work correctly. What I do is take the spool out, and apply a generous amount of WD-40 to the pin of the base, the spring, and the inside of the spool. Sometimes I have to clean the top/cap of the spool-holder which get funked up with grass rests. Hope this helps improving you "cutting edge".
