A Black+Decker weed whacker is considered one of the cheapest power tools worth buying . From the remarkably affordable BLACK+DECKER cordless grass trimmer, lawn mower and edger to the exciting and versatile BLACK+DECKER cordless grass trimmer, grass trimmer and edger, these are lightweight, easy-to-use garden tools ideal for medium-sized gardens.

All Black+Decker weed whackers are electric models (corded or battery operated), so there are fewer moving parts to worry about compared to gas-powered weed whackers. This makes them relatively quick and easy to clean and maintain. To ensure the longevity of your tool, it's best to do this after each use before the dirt or grass has a chance to dry out and harden.

Typically all you need is a cloth and warm, soapy water. If you let the herbicide sit for a while, you can also use a soft-bristled hand brush. It is important to avoid strong cleaners, harsh chemicals or solvents that can attack and damage plastic parts.

The easy cleaning process and helpful herbicide tips

Make sure the Black+Decker weed whacker is unplugged or the battery has been removed. You can then remove the spool with the cutting line. Typically you just squeeze the cover and then lift the roller to release it. However, you can find instructions in your user manual (or you can watch videos online). Take a damp cloth and gently wipe the bottom of the protector. Use a brush to get into corners or stubborn debris.

There's not much left to fix. If your Black+Decker weed whacker is height adjustable, you can open it fully to check for stuck-on dirt or grit that could cause unnecessary wear and tear. Do the same with the head when turning edges. For wired models, check the power cord for damage. If it is cracked, it must be replaced before reuse. Otherwise there is a risk of electric shock, which can be unpleasant but fatal.

Before assembling the wire coil, check its condition and whether it needs to be replaced. There is a useful tip that recommends soaking herbicide cord to prevent breakage that is worth investigating. Additionally, the next time you use your Black+Decker weed whacker, consider trying the counterclockwise mowing method to reduce the time you spend working in the yard.
