(Fig. K).
• Grasp empty spool with one hand and spool housing with
other hand and pull spool out.
• If lever

(Fig. N) in base of housing becomes dislodged,
replace in correct position before inserting new spool
into housing.
• Remove any dirt and grass from the spool and housing.
• Unfasten the end of the cutting line and guide the line into
the eyelet

(Fig. L, N).
• Take the new spool and push it onto the boss
the housing. Rotate the spool slightly until it is seated. The line
should protrude approximately 136 mm from the housing.
• Align the tabs on the spool cap with the slots in the housing
(Fig. M).
• Push the cap onto the housing until it snaps securely into place.
Rewinding Spool from Bulk Line (Fig. O–Q)
Bulk line is also available for purchase from your local retailer.
nOTE: Hand wound spools from bulk line are likely to become
tangled more frequently than BLACK+DECKER factory
wound spools. For best results, factory wound spools are
recommended. To install bulk line, follow the steps below:
• Remove battery from appliance.
• Remove the empty spool from the appliance as described in
Replacing the Spool.
• Remove any remaining cutting line from the spool.
• Make a fold at the end of the cutting line at about 19 mm
Feed the cutting line into one of the line anchoring slots
shown in Fig. O.
• Insert the 19 mm end of the bulk line into the hole
spool adjacent to the slot as shown in Fig. P. Make sure the line
,
is pulled tight against the spool as shown in Fig. P.
• Wind the cutting line onto the spool in the direction of the
arrow on the spool. Make sure to wind the line on neatly and in
layers. Do not crisscross (Fig. Q).
• When the wound cutting line reaches the recesses
the line (Fig. P).
• Fit the spool onto the appliance as described in Replacing
the Spool.

sOlUTiOn
Remove battery from trimmer.
Check that the spool housing can rotate freely. Carefully
clean it if necessary.
Check that the cutting line does not protrude more
than approximately 122 mm from the spool. If it does,
cut it off so that it just reaches the line trimming blade.
More line is fed when the line shortens to
approximately 76 mm. To determine if the line is not
feeding, let line wear past this point.
Keep the tabs depressed and remove the spool cap with
the spool from the spool housing in the trimmer head.
Ensure that the line is not crisscrossed on the spool as
detailed in Fig. Q. If it is, unwind the cutting line and
rewind it neatly.
Inspect tracks at the bottom of spool for damage. If
damaged, replace spool.
Pull the cutting line until it protrudes approximately
122 mm from the spool. If insufficient cutting line is left
on the spool, install a new spool of cutting line.
Align the tabs on the spool cap with the cutouts in
the housing.
Push the spool cap onto the housing until it snaps
securely into place.
If the cutting line protrudes beyond the trimming
blade, cut it off so that it just reaches the blade. If the
automatic line feed still does not work or the spool is
jammed, try the following suggestions:
Carefully clean the spool and housing.
Make sure you are using correct line size and diameter
(1.65 mm)—smaller and larger line sizes will affect
the functionality of the auto feed system.
Remove the spool and check if the lever in the spool
housing can move freely.
Remove the spool and unwind the cutting line,
then wind it on neatly again. Replace the spool into
the housing.
Ensure you are cutting with the tip of the line 177 mm
from the spool. Use the edge guide if needed to ensure
proper space is maintained.
Ensure you are not exceeding a 10º angle as shown
in Fig. G2.
