How do you load the trimmer line?

You need to follow the instructions in the Manual. It is available online if you don't have the hard copy that comes with the equipment. The hardest part is getting the bumper head off which you need to do if there is tangled or broken line within the assembly.

line up the guide on the trimmer head, insert two lines (cut to length) in to holes, then turn head until line is fed . Instructions are in the manual and there is a video ( utube) available.

Cut 2 pieces of line of the same length, poke an end of each into the 2 holes in the head and wind them onto the empty spool by rotating it. It's relatively easy and the instructions are clear.

I did it a couple years ago so my memory is foggy, but do recall being stumped for a while and then suddenly discovering the solution. I think you have to take off the guard first. Here's a diagram that will help you see how it comes apart: http://www.ereplacementparts.com/black-and-decker-gh1000-type-string-trimmer-parts-c-4167_9518_183331.html

you can buy the spool on line by the model or just re-load the empty one with the type of string you like thinner is better

I do not know. I do not have such guides. I do not see how such guides would make sense for this trimmer

On the one I had there was a plastic plug on top. Pull that out and fill to fill line. If yours doesn't have one there I'm not sure where it would be.

Unfortunately, I am down in FL for winter and don't have trimmer or paperwork available. It is not light and may be tedious for a person with limited strength. I initially had trouble with the starter cord and on-off switch, but both were resolved.

Give up on tthis trimmer and go buy a new one!! It'sjunk, and this model is disconnected. We are most unhappy with this product. Ours was new last summer.

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.

There is a small hole on the weed trimmer shaft just above the trimmer head that allows you to insert a phillips head screwdriver. First rotate the trimmer head while looking into the hole until the inner hole lines up with outer hole. Then insert screwdriver. This will keep the shaft from rotating while you unscrew the old trimmer head off and screw on the new one. It's quick and easy.

This trimmer is not battery powered. It has a 120VAC motor, so you need an extension cord. Use one that has at least 14AWG wires, especially if it is over 25 Ft., because of the amperage of the Motor.

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.

No I just turn the trimmer on it's side and change the handle position. They do offer a trimmer head I be leave. Watch your eyes....And be steady or you will dig a trench if you are not careful.

I bought this line for my DR trimmer and IT DOES NOT WORK. It is constantly pulled out of the trimmer head and is just too small to stay in.

These lines fit numerous brands of trimmers. You just have to look up the size for your unit as there are about 4 different thickness of line.I hope this helps you.

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
