CLEANING JAMS AND TANGLED LINES
From time to time, especially when cutting thick or leafy
bushes, the line's feeding spool can jam with branches
and other materials. To clear the jam, follow the steps
below.
1. Unplug the trimmer.
2. Press the release tabs on the cover of the line spool
as shown in Fig. I and pull the cover out in a straight
line to remove it.
3. Remove the nylon line spool and clear damaged lines
or dust from the spool area. (DO NOT REMOVE THE
CENTRAL RING SCREW TO REMOVE THE SPOOL).
4. Place the spool and the line on the cover into the slots
provided as shown in Fig. J.
5. Insert the end of the line through the appropriate slots
on the reel spool. Pull the excess line until you can
remove it through the retaining slots, as shown in Fig. K.
6. Press the spool down GENTLY and rotate it until you
feel it is fixed in place and then push it to adjust it.
(When in place, the spool will rotate freely a few
degrees to the left and to the right). Be careful to keep
the line from getting stuck under the spool.
7. Replace the spool cover as shown in Fig. L, by
pushing the tabs and pressing on the reel cover.
Note: Make sure the cover is in the correct position,
you must hear two clicks to ensure that the two tabs
are correctly placed. Turn on the tool. In a few
seconds or less, you'll hear the nylon line cutting
automatically to the proper length.
REPLACING THE SPOOL OR LINE
(Use only 2mm (0.08") diameter lines)
1. Unplug the trimmer. Press the release tabs on the
cover of the line spool as shown in Fig. I and pull the
cover out in a straight line to remove it.
2. Remove the spool from the tool, and remove and
discard all the line on the reel.
3. Choose OPTION 1 or OPTION 2.
OPTION 1: REPLACEMENT SPOOL
Use the BLACK & DECKER model DF-080 replacement
spool. Install it following the instructions under
"REPLACING THE SPOOL OR LINE" No. 1-6, discard
the old spool for Step 3 and use the new spool in the
subsequent steps.
OPTION 2: REWINDING THE SPOOL WITH THE
PACKAGE LINE
The trimmer/edger's package line is available at extra cost
from your local dealer or from the BLACK & DECKER
Maintenance Center. Install it following the instructions
under "REPLACING THE SPOOL OR LINE" No. 1-6,
through the steps for Step 3.
(Use 2 mm (0.08") diameter ROUND lines)
a. The line spool of this product has two (2) areas
for line winding. Wind the line in an area first and
then in the other.
b. Overlap the nylon line approximately 19 mm
(3/4") from the end to form a "hook", as shown in
Fig. M. Place the tip of the hook-shaped line in
the internal slot of the spool.
c. Wind the package line gently and evenly into
the spool in the direction of the arrow until the
line is accumulating in the notches on the edge of
the spool. Do not overfill the spool. Do the same
for the other winding area.
4. Place the spool and the line on the spool cover
containing the lines into the slots provided as shown
in Fig. J.
5. Insert the ends of the line through the slots on the reel
spool. Pull the excess line until you can remove it
through the retaining slots, as shown in Fig. K.
6. Press the spool down GENTLY and rotate it until you
feel it is fixed in place and then push it to adjust it.
(When in place, the spool will rotate freely a few
degrees to the left and to the right). Be careful to keep
the line from getting stuck under the spool.
7. Replace the spool cover as shown in Fig. L, by
pushing and pressing on the reel cover.
Note: Make sure the cover is in the correct position,
you must hear two clicks to ensure that the two tabs
are correctly placed. Turn on the tool. In a few
seconds or less, you'll hear the nylon line cutting
automatically to the proper length.
