Product Information
Full details
The Black + Decker A6481 replacement spool and line is designed for homeowners and gardeners who rely on Black + Decker grass trimmers equipped with the Reflex Intelligent cutting system. Its primary benefit is providing a seamless, reliable cutting experience without the hassle of manual line winding, ensuring consistent trim performance across a wide variety of compatible models. A key caveat is that users must ensure their specific trimmer model is listed as compatible, as this spool is strictly engineered for the Reflex feeding mechanism and will not function correctly in trimmers designed for manual or alternative feed systems.

FAQs
Can I refill this spool with my own line?
The A6481 is designed as a factory-wound, single-use replacement spool. It is recommended to replace the entire spool for consistent performance with the Reflex system.
Does this package include the spool cap?
No, the A6481 is the spool and line assembly only. You should reuse your existing spool cap.
How do I know if this fits my trimmer?
Check your trimmer's model number against the list of compatible units. If your model is in the GL, GLC, ST, or BEST series as mentioned, it is likely compatible.
What is the diameter of the line?
The line has a diameter of 1.6mm.
Is this line suitable for heavy-duty brush clearing?
No, this is a standard nylon grass trimmer line designed for lawn edging and grass maintenance, not heavy brush.
Troubleshooting
The line is not feeding automatically
Check if the spool is empty or if the line has become tangled inside the cap. Ensure the line is correctly threaded through the eyelet.
The line breaks frequently
Avoid striking hard objects like stone walls or chain-link fences. Ensure you are cutting grass and not dense woody weeds.
Spool cap will not stay locked
Check the locking tabs on the cap for damage and ensure they are aligned correctly with the slots on the trimmer head.
