Can the cutting lines be refilled with regular string trimmer line?

As long as the correct diameter line is used there should not be a problem.

Yes as long as you use line of the same weight and length. You could even get a roll and cut to length.

If you are using the pre-rolled spools its pretty easy. Put the end of the trimmer string thru the hole in the side of the spool housing, slip the spool into the housing making sure the right side is up. (Will say on spool). Replace the cap. Push button on side of hoiding and release enough string to reach cutting blade and that's it.

Great question.... I haven't had to buy new line for it yet but with my other black and decker trimmer I simply took the wheel cartridge inside, that the line attaches to, and just took it to Home Depot and asked them to help me match it, and it was quick. It seems to be a pretty standard line, easy to find especially with a sales associate helping you.

Good question. As I recall, you can "take up" the string through the holders to shorten it and then cut it or tie a knot. If it had a "slider" I didn't see it.

I do not, I think slicing would make it dry out faster, unsliced you may have to just slice a bit off the cut end if not used all up.

The unit I have has two trimmer lines, and if you measure the length and cut as per instructions, it is not difficult, but does require patience...The machine has exceeded my expectations both as a brush cutter (metal blade) and string trimmer.

Yes. You can re-load the spool that came with the machine. I bought a much thicker string because the small string that comes with it breaks way too easy. Now with the thicker string it works great. I'm very pleased with it and the battery life is good.

I actually cut each line separately and lined it up the way that I wanted it. The only thing about doing it that way it to make sure that you place them back on evenly.

If you have a really good pair of shears you should be able to trim down the liners without any problems. Good luck!

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.

Yes you sure CAN! In fact, on the back of each sheet are ruled lines going both horizontally and vertically so you can get a straight cut. I do this all the time in my scrapbooking procedure and it works 100% AOK. YES, to answer your question...and I am getting another order of these this week. Hope I've helped.

If you are talking about the actual trimmer spool...I did not have any luck doing so. You can get a different attachment though. Fyi, my original trimmer had isn't that bad...just hard to pull off the cap to replace the line.

Yes. You can cut them with regular scissors. It was easier for me to cut before removing the backing.

I've been reloading with cheap refill spools. I don't know if using a single line would throw it off balance. It's automatic feed, and it seems the least disturbance seems to make it spit out a couple of feet of line. I'm definitely going to try C's suggestion to tie knots so it won't feed.

I have ONLY used the trim line shown WITH the B&D; Trimmer. You will see it on the SAME page as the tr

The fittings are the same (assume you're using standard stuff) so there is no problem using the braided lines instead of coppper lines.

No not at all. If you have owned one in the past like I did it is exactly the same. You pop in the spool and feed the line through the hole. That's it and then lengthen to where you want the string.
