Frequently Asked Questions - GL540 BLACK & DECKER
How do I start the GL540 trimmer?
Plug the trimmer into a suitable extension cord. Press and hold the safety switch located on the handle, then squeeze the trigger. Release the safety switch once the trimmer is running. To stop, release the trigger.
How do I replace the trimmer line?
Unplug the trimmer. Press the tabs on the spool cap and remove it. Remove the old spool, insert new line through the eyelets, and wind it in the direction of the arrows. Replace the spool and cap.
Can I use the trimmer for edging?
Yes, the GL540 features an EdgeMax button that rotates the head 90 degrees for edging along sidewalks and driveways. Press the button and twist the head until it locks in the edging position.
What type of line should I use?
Use 0.065-inch diameter twisted or dual-line trimmer line. The spool accepts up to 20 feet of line. Avoid using wire or heavier line as it may damage the trimmer.
Why does the line not feed automatically?
The automatic feed may not work if the line is tangled, too short, or if the spool is improperly wound. Check for tangles, ensure the line is at least 2 inches long, and rewind the spool correctly. Also clean the cutting head.
How do I clean the trimmer?
Unplug the trimmer. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Use a soft brush to remove debris from the cutting head and guard. Do not use water or solvents. Store in a dry place.
Is the trimmer double-insulated?
Yes, the GL540 is double-insulated for added safety. This means it does not require a grounding wire. Always use with a grounded extension cord and avoid operating in wet conditions.
What should I do if the trimmer vibrates excessively?
Excessive vibration may indicate a bent shaft, damaged cutting head, or unbalanced line. Check the line length (both ends should be equal). If vibration persists, inspect the cutting head for damage and replace if needed.
Can I use an extension cord with the GL540?
Yes, use a grounded extension cord rated for outdoor use. For optimal performance, use a cord no longer than 100 feet with a minimum wire gauge of 14 AWG. Avoid running over the cord with the trimmer.
How do I store the trimmer?
Unplug the trimmer and clean it. Store in a dry location out of reach of children. Coil the cord loosely and hang the trimmer by the handle or store it on a shelf. Avoid exposing to extreme temperatures.
