HELPFUL CUTTING TIPS
• Use the tip of the string to do the
cutting; do not force string head into
uncut grass. Use edge guide along
such things as fences, houses and
flower beds for best practices.
• Wire and picket fences cause extra
string wear, even breakage. Stone and
brick walls, curbs, and wood may wear
string rapidly.
• Do not allow spool cap to drag on
ground or other surfaces.
• In long growth cut from the top down
and do not exceed 12 inches (304.8
mm) high.
• Keep trimmer tilted toward the area
being cut; this is the best cutting area.
• The trimmer cuts when passing the
unit from the right to left. This will avoid
throwing debris at the operator.
• Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood
moldings, siding, and fence posts can
easily be damaged by the string.
CUTTING LINE / LINE FEEDING
Your trimmer uses .065 inch (1.65 mm)
diameter, ROUND nylon line. During use,
the tips of the nylon lines will become
frayed and worn and the special self
feeding spool will automatically feed and
trim a fresh length of line. Do not bump on
ground in attempt to feed line or for any
other purposes.
Cutting line will wear faster and require
more feeding if the cutting or edging is
done along sidewalks or other abrasive
surfaces or heavier weeds are being cut.
CLEARING JAMS AND TANGLED LINE
(FIGURES O, P, R)
WARNING:
Remove the battery from
the trimmer before making any assembly,
adjustments or changing accessories.
Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the appliance
accidentally. From time to time, especially
when cutting thick or stalky weeds, the
line spool housing may become clogged
with sap or other material and the line will
become jammed as a result. To clear the
jam, follow the steps listed below.
• Depress the tabs (14) and remove the
spool cap (13) from the spool housing
(12) in the trimmer head (figure O).
• Grasp spool with one hand and spool
housing with other hand and pull spool
out and clear any broken line or cutting
debris, dirt and grass from the spool
area.
• If lever (15) in base of housing becomes
dislodged, replace in the position as
shown in figure P before inserting the
spool into housing.
• Place spool and line into spool housing
with line "parked" in anchoring slot (20)
as shown in figure R.
• Fit the spool onto the trimmer as
described in"REPLACING THE SPOOL".
NOTE: Make sure that cover is fully
positioned, listen for two audible clicks to
ensure both lugs are correctly located.
Power the appliance on. In a few seconds
or less you'll hear the nylon line being cut
automatically to the proper length.
CAUTION:
damage, if the cutting line protrudes
beyond the trimming blade, cut it off so
that it just reaches the blade.
NOTE: Other replacement parts (guards,
spool caps, etc.) are available through
BLACK+DECKER service centers. To find
your local service location call: 1-800-544-

plastic, sealable bag with a tablespoon
of water.
3. Plastic parts may be cleaned by using a
mild soap and a damp rag.
