Hi

I've ressurected an old Black & Decker GL330 bump-feed strimmer

Can't so far get the bump-feed to work ...

Q: what way should I be winding the strimmer line on to the spool -
clockwise or anti-clockwise?

The spool housing spins anti-clockwise

TIA



Not sure on that make/model but the ones I've had have an arrow
on the spool to show you which way to wind it.

Download the GL300 manual he

The parts diagram on page 10 shows which way the strimmer line is wound.
