# How to Replace the Line in a Black & Decker Grasshog
Grass trimmers such as the Black & Decker Grasshog are handy for cutting grass in places you can't access with your lawn mower or tractor, such as along a fence, around a mailbox or near a flower bed. The trimmers work by spinning a nylon line at an extremely high speed so that it slices through the grass and weeds. Eventually, the string wears out and needs to be replaced.
Things You'll Need
- .065 inch round diameter nylon line
Instructions
-
-
1
Unplug the trimmer.
-
2
Turn the trimmer upside-down and press in on the tabs on the trimmer head.
-
3
Lift the cap off of the trimmer head.
-
4
Lift the empty spool off of the trimmer head and clean grass and dirt from the spool and surrounding area.
-
5
Slide the new spool onto the boss, the part that spins the spool around. Use .065 inch round diameter nylon line.
-
6
Hook the end of the trimmer line into the eyelets on opposite sides of the spool so they extend out about 5-1/2 inches.
-
7
Line up the tabs on the spool cap with slots in the housing, and push the cap down until it clicks into position.
