Removing the guard on your Black & Decker Grasshog electric weedeater GH600 can be tricky without three hands, but here's a method you can try:
1. Use a flathead screwdriver or a similar tool to depress one of the springy tabs while holding it down.
2. While holding the first tab down, use a second tool (another flathead screwdriver, a pair of pliers, etc.) to depress a second tab.
3. Once you have two tabs depressed, you should be able to use your free hand to push or pull the guard away from the trimmer.
4. If needed, use the same method to depress the third tab and completely remove the guard.
Alternatively, you might ask someone to assist you by holding down the tabs while you remove the guard. If you're still having trouble, refer to the user manual or contact Black & Decker customer support for further assistance.
grasshog gh600 I'm not a pro; by know means but could be that it could be warp in the wrong direction,frist or may be a spring or something was left out.
Just replace the LEVER, Item #29, Part #598435-00, for about $3.00 (B&D, Dewalt). Just pull old level straight out (pliers) and push replacement in. Level end expands to hold it in place. No other parts. Forget cleaning and replacement the spool, graphite or oiling... just replace the lever.
You may need to purchase a new spool housing, which may not be too hard to do, if you have one of the name brand trimmers. This replaces the whole mechanism that holds the line, the retaining ring, etc.
