Dumb strimmer question
Hi
I've ressurected an old Black & Decker GL330 bump-feed strimmer Can't so far get the bump-feed to work ... Q: what way should I be winding the strimmer line on to the spool - clockwise or anti-clockwise? The spool housing spins anti-clockwise TIA |

The spool housing spins anti-clockwise TIA Not sure on that make/model but the ones I've had have an arrow on the spool to show you which way to wind it. HTH I got a Qualcast double-line strimmer last year, and there was an arrow on the spool. Trouble is, it was only on the top. It seems a bit counter-intuitive to wind both lines the same way, but that is indeed the correct way. Oh, and don't waste your money on cheap replacement line; get decent stuff. -- Jeff |

Well for the thing to work the centre drum has to revolve for the line to cut, and to release the line it also has to be able to move down and up when you tap it on the ground. If these things don't happen for you then you are in trouble. |
