Stick a small screw driver in the slot between the head and cable to hold the cable in place. Then unscrew the head off the threaded cable bolt

i know it can be done i replaced mine 2 years ago i think when you take the cap off there is a bolt there and that is it, remove that, on top there is slots to hold it from spinning

There's a hole near the shaft, insert a small screwdriver and twist the cutter head.

Line up the arrows, run the line (designated length) through the head so that they are equal length on both sides. Twist the head until the line spools inside...leaving a little on each side. The trick is to not overload. I ran my trimmer hard initially and actually melted the plastic. I've been gentler with the trimmer since then and I haven't had a problem with the replacement. The 3rd party trimmer heads work pretty well. Shakespeare has a nice trimmer head you can use as well if you don't like the Troy Bilt

Grantley, Mine came fully assembled so I hadn't had to connect the trimmer blade. I did use it and it worked great. You may have to Google it. Sorry Matt

Look on the bottom of the cutter head. You will see several triangle shapes on both the outside and inside rings. Turn the inside ring to align the triangles to form an hourglass shape. Take two 4-foot lengths of cutting line. Insert one end of each line in the openings of the line discharge ports on either side of the cutter head. Push the cutting line in only until if feels snug (perhaps 1"-2" only). While holding the cutter head to prevent it from rotating, push down and turn the inner ring in the direction show on the underside (bottom) of the cutter head. As it turns, you will head a clicking sound and see the cutting line feed into the cutter head. Stop turning the inner ring when 3"-4" of cutting line is still visible. The trimmer is now ready to use, again, as normal. Note: the cutter head is NOT removed from the trimmer to reload cutting line. Just turn the entire trimmer upside down to work on the cutter head.

It appears to be held in place with a metal retaining clip. I don't see any way to remove it completely, but cutting it off with hacksaw would work. There is a bit of sliding friction, I'm not sure if this would be a problem or not for you.

I did it a couple years ago so my memory is foggy, but do recall being stumped for a while and then suddenly discovering the solution. I think you have to take off the guard first. Here's a diagram that will help you see how it comes apart: http://www.ereplacementparts.com/black-and-decker-gh1000-type-string-trimmer-parts-c-4167_9518_183331.html

If you are using the pre-rolled spools its pretty easy. Put the end of the trimmer string thru the hole in the side of the spool housing, slip the spool into the housing making sure the right side is up. (Will say on spool). Replace the cap. Push button on side of hoiding and release enough string to reach cutting blade and that's it.

It snaps onto the trimmer head. You actually remove the rounded cone type trimmer used for noses/ears and snap on the eyebrow trimmer. Then there is a comb like guard (kind of like the sized guards of hair clippers) that slides/snaps on over that. I have only used that attachment a few times, I but remember it being one-hand operation and not requiring any sort or extra effort.

the whole head will come off. Pls check if you own the exact model. If it is not exact model you cannot use this.

No I just turn the trimmer on it's side and change the handle position. They do offer a trimmer head I be leave. Watch your eyes....And be steady or you will dig a trench if you are not careful.

Yes...but I personally think it is not very convenient comparing with the trimmer also from Panasonic ( I had that one before). The head can be removed from the body and is washable so all stubbles can be washed off....

If I understand your question, you want to replace the blade on the brush cutter with a trimmer head. I believe you must purchase the entire string trimmer attachment which after removing the brush cutter attachment replaces it.

Bop button on bottom of trimmer head. If that doesn't work take the string out and rewind it. Might be wound in opposite direction

You can. The problem is, there's a pretty good degree of length between the lowest setting, and using the trimmer without the guide. Would be great if there was one more setting between. But it slides right off. Hope that was helpful.

Yes...that was difficult. I aligned the holes with the nuts on the cutter. Then pushed hard to get it released. Try using a jar opener to push the plastic guard down and off. Hope this helps.

I didn't have to cut mine but by the material that it is made of a simple hacksaw should be able to cut it. It should be simple enough to modify if needed. Hope it does the job for you.

I am not aware of any instructions for installation of a cutting blade other than those in the owners manual you received with the trimmer. If you have the carbide (multi - tooth blade) follow, generally , the same instructions and common sense. This is really a short coming of Tanaka as someone could get hurt by an improper installation. Once you have the blade on ALWAYS secure the spindle nut in place with a new cotter pin. Best of luck
