You need to make sure the spool is wound properly... I talk about it more in this video, let me know if this is helpful: czcams.com/video/Sx5FZrfmS7I/video.htmlsi=QSwDbnAyh6UzuOee&t=274

Great, I'm glad this video was very helpful, thanks for letting me know! :)

Cool, thanks for letting us know about your tip about citric acid, how long have you been using it?

@@jamminjamyFor about 4 years now.

@@mr.boniato6402 Thanks for the tip, I just found this info online in case it is helpful to others, thx!: Citric acid A natural alternative to salt-based water softeners that can soften water and help maximize water softener efficiency. Citric acid can also be used as a preventative maintenance treatment in areas with moderate iron content. It can help remove iron and other contaminants from water softeners, and can also be used to remove hard water spots, lime, rust, and scale deposits. Citric acid works by forming bonds with calcium and magnesium ions, which reduces their negative effects and prevents them from being deposited on dishes, sinks, and shower walls.

@@jamminjamy Pour half cup to every 40 lb bag of salt you add. Then one cup for full cleaning every 4 months.

Great, I'm glad it was helpful, thanks for the note! :)

Are you asking if this could be used to do edging against a wall? It it has a enough clearance?

​@jamminjamy Yes, that black cover would hit the wall if you held it upright, but it looks like you could hold it at an angle.

@@dunbustin That could be a possibility

Awesome, great to hear! :)

Great, sounds like you got your lawn tractor working again! :)

Thanks for letting us know about your experience, this is helpful.

Great, I hope this video was helpful and answered any questions you had!

Great, thanks for your feedback, this is helpful for others considering this model :)

Are you manually loading the string on your spools yourself or buying pre-wound spools? If you are manually loading the spools yourself they need to wound nice and tidy.

Thanks for letting me know, I appreciate it! :)

Great, I'm glad my review and tutorial was helpful. Let us know how it works out for you. Happy Trimming! :)

Ok, that's interesting, how do you like your Craftsman model?

This is a good question... I'm not really sure... it was left with the house we bought in 2018 and the owners said it was pretty new and this manual says 2014 so I'm thinking 2014? cdn.powerequipment.honda.com/pe/pdf/manuals/00X31V416010.pdf

I show it cutting the grass at the end of my video here... does it not work like this for you? czcams.com/video/YMGNEX_FH10/video.htmlsi=NOajetuzcQzOO_ym&t=540

You just need to unscrew the guard screw and then slide it off. You may need a flathead screw driver to release it. It would be the reverse order of what I talk about here: czcams.com/video/UmExslRmIPc/video.htmlsi=Wb7Rsf1nTZNXExIC&t=65

Great, I'm glad my video was helpful and answered all your questions! Thanks for letting me know! :)

Yeah, let us know how it works out for you! I feel like if the trimmer line is wound properly (in case you do it yourself) you should be ok. If you buy the pre-wound coils that could help and the reviews seem to be decent.

I think you can if you are very careful. The metal blade could damage the plastic molding so if have a way to roll it easily in line with the molding it could work.

Sounds like you put it to good use! Thanks for sharing your experience with us, this is helpful.

Thanks! This is a really good point and I appreciate you bringing it up! I believe you are correct, since this is a 6.5amp tool if you go over 50 ft you should use a 14 gauge extension cord, if you go over 100 feet you should use 12 gauge, and if you are under 50 ft then 16 gauge is ok according to this website: support.blackanddecker.com/hc/en-us/articles/360057225571-What-extension-cord-should-I-use-for-my-outdoor-power-tool Thanks again for pointing this out :)

Thanks, I hope this video is helpful! :)

I use a lawn tractor, lawn mower and also string trimmer for my yard. This is a video review to show everyone how this Black and Decker Corded Grass String Trimmer & Edger works and what it is capable of.

You're welcome! :)

Hmmm... did this happen during your initial setup?

Yeah, this back pack blower has got some power, it almost feels like it could lift me off the ground 🤣🤣

Thanks, I'm glad the video helped. Thanks for the nice note :)

Great, thanks for the note Dave, I'm glad the video was helpful, have a good summer! :)

Thanks for the note! :) I'm glad this review was helpful, have a good summer!

Thanks! Yeah, it is really helpful if don't use them too often. I appreciate the comment :)

You can see the cutting in action at the end of the video here, it cuts pretty well. It may not look like it at times since the guard pushes the taller grass away before it gets cut: czcams.com/video/UmExslRmIPc/video.htmlsi=EEVL_uDDviwd4zWK&t=506

The guard should snap into place. You may need to give it a couple firm taps with your palm... you can kind of see me doing it in the video here: czcams.com/video/UmExslRmIPc/video.htmlsi=gZacHCj0KKROm4Qa&t=71

Oh I understand your question now. The wheel is only used for the edging feature, it can not be used for the "weed whacking/grass cutting" mode. Does that make sense? Thanks for the question.

Hmmm, I haven't heard of that before but make sure the spool is seated properly and the right side of it is facing up.

Great, I appreciate you letting me know, thx!

This one I did a review on is a corded version and doesn't have a battery. Does yours look similar to this?

Great, thanks for the note, I'm glad the video was helpful! I do think this edger is put together pretty well and that you could get good use out of it if you take care of it.

Wow, you are a SUPER USER! Thanks for letting us know how it is working out for you! :)

I use a Carpenter's belt to carry my batteries and extra spools.

@@bradleyusery7389 thanks for the tip! Its sounds like you do a lot of trimming! How big is your yard?

Glad this video was helpful, thanks for the note!

Thanks for the note and letting us know about your experience! Are you able to make sure the string is wound properly to keep it from jamming?

@@jamminjamy How do you know if it is wound properly? I plan to buy the extra spools, but just in case it would be helpful to know how to wind it. Thanks.

Thanks for the note did you use the pre-wound spools or did you wind the spools yourself?

Any time, thanks for the note! Do you have one of these string trimmers?
