Threading line on black & decker GL301 strimmer

Top half you wrap the trimmer line in the direction shown .Bottom half in opposite direction.. Question not very clear ?? Ken

Hi Deborah,
You need to start from the beginning of the trimmer string. Remove the entire spool. Insert the start of the line through and wedge it into the little groove to keep it from coming loose. Now wind the line tightly and neatly in the direction shown on the spool. (it should provide an arrow stating to "wind this way". As you near the end of the line, keep it snug and push the end through the hole where it leads out to the cutting zone. As you re-insert the spool into the housing, make sure it stays tightly wound as you lock it into place. This should help. Usually when your string is too short, you tap the **** of the spool on the ground to advance the line. It should feed a bit at a time, and when you hear it getting cut off, you should stop advancing the line.
Hope this helps.

Go to Homebase, B&Q, Ebay or your local hardware shop and buy a new spool, ALM part number BD032.

u can do it , its difficult, take the old bolt to the hardware store or auto parts store tell them u need a tap for that bolt, u cant use the same bolt

If the line keeps getting too long, it's because swivel 14 in diagram 7 was in the wrong position when you inserted the spool - just move it to the ouside position, re-insert the spool and away you go. Frankie.
