Height Adjustment (Fig. F, G1–G4)
WARNING! Adjust the length of the trimmer to obtain proper
working positions shown in Fig. G1–G4.
• The overall height of the trimmer can be adjusted by
loosening the height adjust collar
direction of the arrow shown in Fig. F.
• Move the upper housing straight up or down. When the
desired height is achieved, tighten the collar by rotating it
opposite of the direction shown in Fig. F.
Releasing the Cutting Line
• In transit, the cutting line is taped to the spool housing.
• Remove the tape holding the cutting line to the
spool housing.
OPERATION
WARNING! Always use proper eye protection.
WARNING! Before you begin trimming, only use the
appropriate type of cutting line.
nOTE: Inspect area to be trimmed and remove any wire, cord,
or string‑like objects which could become entangled in the
rotating line or spool. Be particularly careful to avoid any wire
which might be bent outwardly into the path of the appliance,
such as barbs at the base of a chain link fence.
Switching On and Off (Fig. A)
• To switch the appliance on, push the lock‑off button
squeeze the trigger

.
• To switch the appliance off, release the trigger.
Operating the Trimmer (Fig. A, F, G1–G4)
• With the unit on, angle unit and slowly swing the trimmer
side to side as shown in Fig. G1.
• Maintain a cutting angle of 5 ° to 10 ° as shown in Fig. G2. Do
not exceed 10 ° (Fig. G3). Cut with the tip of the line. To keep
distance from hard surfaces use edge guide
• Maintain a minimum distance of 600 mm between the guard
and your feet as shown in Fig. G4. To achieve this distance
adjust the overall height of the trimmer as shown in Fig. F.
Convert to Edging Mode (Fig. A, H, I)
WARNING! When being used as an edger, stones, pieces of
metal and other objects can be thrown out at high speed by the line.
The trimmer and guard are designed to reduce the danger. However,
MAKE SURE that other persons and pets are at least 30 m away.
Optimum cutting results are achieved on edges deeper than 50 mm.
• Remove the battery from the trimmer.
• To operate as a maintenance edger, turn the collar
shown in sketch 1 of Fig. H.
• Hold the metal shaft and rotate the lower housing 180 ° as
shown in sketch 2 of Fig. H.
• Turn the collar until tight.
• Lift the edge guide
7
into the edging position as shown in Fig. I.
• Position the trimmer above the surface as shown in Fig. J.
• Return to the trimming position by loosening the lock collar
and rotating the lower housing back 180 °. Turn the collar
until tight.
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.

as
• 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
300 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 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. 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.
The advanced automatic line feeding mechanism senses when
more cutting line is needed and feeds and trims the correct
length of line whenever it is required. Do not bump unit on
ground in attempt to feed line or for any other purposes.
Clearing Jams and Tangled Line (Fig. K–M)
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 feeding hub 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.
• Remove the battery from the trimmer.
• Press the release tabs
15
in Fig. K, and remove the cap by pulling it straight off.
• Pull the nylon line spool out and clear any broken line or
cutting debris from the spool area.
• Place spool and line into spool cap with line "parked" in
slots
23
provided as shown in Fig. L.
• Insert the line end through the appropriate hole in the spool
housing
9
, Fig. K. Pull slack line through until it pulls out of the
holding slots
24
as shown in Fig. L.
• Press the spool down gently and rotate it until you feel it drop
into place and then push to snap into place. (When in place, the
spool will turn a few degrees left and right freely.)
• Take care to keep the line from becoming trapped under
the spool.
• Align the spool cap tabs with the slots on the spool housing.
• Snap the spool cap back on as shown in Fig. M by depressing
lugs and pressing into spool housing.
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.
WARNING! To avoid appliance 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 visit www.blackanddecker.com.
