FAQs
What trimmer models is the ALM QT455 compatible with?
The ALM QT455 is compatible with Qualcast GT30, GGT450A1, GGT4502, GGT600A1; McGregor MET4530, MET6032; Worx WG119E; and Ozito LTR-529U models. Always check your trimmer's manual for confirmation.
Does the kit come with trimmer line already installed?
Yes, the ALM QT455 kit includes a spool pre-wound with two 5-meter lengths of 1.5mm trimmer line.
How do I install the new spool and cover?
First, disconnect power to the trimmer. Then, remove the old spool and cover, insert the new spool ensuring correct line routing, and finally attach the new spool cover, securing it by twisting until it locks. Reconnect power to test.
What is the diameter of the trimmer line included?
The trimmer line included in the kit is 1.5mm in diameter.
Can I use different trimmer line with this spool cap?
While the kit comes with 1.5mm line, you can typically use pre-cut lengths of 1.5mm trimmer line or rewind the spool yourself with compatible line, provided it fits correctly and doesn't jam.
Where is this product manufactured?
This ALM spool and line kit is manufactured in the UK.
What happens when the trimmer line runs out?
Once the included trimmer line is used up, you will need to replace the spool with a new one or rewind the existing spool with compatible trimmer line.
Troubleshooting
Trimmer is not cutting effectively
Ensure the spool cover is correctly fitted and locked. Check that the trimmer line is feeding out correctly; you may need to tap the trimmer head on the ground (if designed for auto-feed) or manually advance the line. Inspect the line for breaks or tangles.
Spool cover will not attach or lock
Verify that you have the correct model kit for your trimmer. Ensure there is no debris obstructing the connection points on the trimmer head or the spool cover. The spool may be inserted incorrectly; remove and reinsert it, ensuring the line is not snagged.
Trimmer line breaks immediately or is not feeding
The line may be tangled on the spool. Remove the spool and carefully unwind and rewind the line, ensuring it is neat and not crossed over itself. Check that the line is being fed through the correct guide(s) in the trimmer head.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility Check: Before installation, confirm that your grass trimmer model is listed as compatible with the ALM QT455 kit. This includes models like Qualcast GT30, GGT450A1, GGT4502, GGT600A1; McGregor MET4530, MET6032; Worx WG119E; and Ozito LTR-529U. Cross-reference the part number ALM QT455 with your trimmer's manual or original parts if unsure.
Installation:
- Ensure the trimmer is switched off and disconnected from the power source.
- Carefully remove the old spool cover and spool from the trimmer head. This usually involves releasing retaining clips or twisting the base.
- Insert the new ALM QT455 spool, ensuring the line is correctly routed through any guides.
- Place the new spool cover over the spool, aligning it with the trimmer head housing. Secure it by twisting or ensuring the clips engage properly until it locks into place.
- Reconnect the trimmer to the power source and test.
Care: The spool cover and spool are designed for cutting grass and light weeds. Avoid forcing them through dense or woody material, which can damage the line or the mechanism. Keep the trimmer head area clean from debris after use to ensure smooth operation and prevent premature wear. The trimmer line itself is a consumable and will be used up during operation; replacement line can be purchased separately once the initial lengths are depleted.
