Before using the tool after prolonged storage, fully charge
the battery again.
Troubleshooting
If your tool seems not to operate properly, follow the
instructions below. If this does not solve the problem,
please contact your local Black & Decker repair agent.
Warning!
Avoid accidentally switching the tool on.
Tool runs slowly
Check that the spool housing can rotate freely.
Carefully clean it if necessary.
Check that the cutting line does not protrude more than
11 cm from the spool housing. If it does, cut it off so that it
just reaches the line trimming blade.
Automatic line feed does not work
Keep the tabs depressed and remove the spool cover
from the housing.
Pull the cutting line until it protrudes 11 cm from the
housing. If insufficient cutting line is left on the spool,
install a new spool of cutting line as instructed above.
Align the tabs on the spool cover with the cut outs in the
housing.
Push the cover 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 cover and housing.
Remove the spool and check if the lever can move freely.
Remove the spool and unwind the cutting line, then wind it
on neatly again as described above. Replace the spool as
instructed.
Protecting the environment
Separate collection. This product must not be
disposed of with normal household waste.
Should you find one day that your Black & Decker product
needs replacement, or if it is of no further use to you, do not
dispose of it with household waste. Make this product
available for separate collection.
Separate collection of used products and packaging
allows materials to be recycled and used again.
Re-use of recycled materials helps prevent
environmental pollution and reduces the demand for
raw materials.
Local regulations may provide for separate collection of
electrical products from the household, at municipal waste
sites or by the retailer when you purchase a new product.
Black & Decker provides a facility for the collection and
recycling of Black & Decker products once they have reached
the end of their working life. To take advantage of this service
please return your product to any authorised repair agent who
will collect them on our behalf.

agent by contacting your local Black & Decker office at the

Batteries
Pb
Black & Decker batteries can be recharged many
times. At the end of their useful life, discard batteries
with due care for our environment.
If possible, operate the tool to run the battery down
completely.
Place the tool on a firm surface, allowing access to the
screws in the handle casing.
Remove the screws from the handle casing.
Remove the top part of the handle casing.
Disconnect the wires from the battery terminals.
Place the battery in a suitable packaging to ensure that
the terminals cannot be shortcircuited.
Take the battery to your service agent or a local recycling
station. Collected batteries will be recycled or disposed of
