Question 6

How do I remove the spool holder from the BCSTE636 trimmer?

Accepted Answer

To remove the spool holder (part 7) from your BLACK & DECKER BCSTE636 trimmer, follow these steps:

Keep the tabs (23) pressed down and remove the spool cover (24) from the spool holder.
Once the cover is removed, you can extract the empty spool (25) from the spool holder.

The spool holder is then accessible for inspection or replacement. When reassembling, align the tabs (23) of the spool cover with the slots (21) of the spool holder and push firmly until it clicks into place. Use only BLACK+DECKER wire of the appropriate type (diameter 1.6 mm) for your BCSTE636 model.

Question 7

How to completely remove the cutting head from the BLACK & DECKER GLC1825 trimmer?

Accepted Answer

Safety first: Before starting, disconnect the tool from the power supply (unplug it) and remove the 18V battery. Wait for the cutting head to completely stop spinning, as the cutting elements continue to operate for a few moments after the motor stops.

Removing the cutting spool from the housing: The cutting head includes a spool housing (part 7) and a nylon line spool (part 23). To completely remove the spool from the housing, keep both tabs (21) on the sides pressed down and pull the spool cover (22) towards you. The empty spool will then easily come out of the housing. Clean the housing and cover with a soft brush to remove grass and dirt before reassembling.

Installing a new spool or rewinding: You have two options. You can install a new pre-wound spool (reference A6441 or complete cassette A6442 available from your Black & Decker dealer). Insert the spool onto the pole of the housing and slightly rotate it until it is properly positioned. Free the end of the cutting line and guide it into the exit eyelet (24). The line should extend about 11 cm from the spool cover. Alternatively, you can manually rewind nylon line onto an empty spool according to the "Rewinding" mode instructions.

Reassembling the cover: Align the tabs (21) of the cover with the corresponding cutouts (25) of the housing, then press the cover down until it clicks firmly into place. Ensure that the line does not extend beyond the cutting blade (26); if it does, trim the ends so they are just at the blade.

Switching between trimming and edging modes: If you need to rotate the head itself to switch from trimming mode to edging mode, disconnect the tool, loosen the adjustment ring (6) by turning it clockwise, then while firmly holding the handle (2), turn the head clockwise for trimming or counterclockwise for edging. Then tighten the ring by turning it counterclockwise. The head only rotates in one direction depending on the position.

Question 8

How to remove and replace the spool head / the spool of the BLACK & DECKER GLC1825 trimmer?

Once the head is removed, you can:

Replace the nylon line on the existing empty spool (see the manual for rewinding instructions)
