u

Cutting line / line feeding
Warning! Use only BLACK+DECKER replacement spools
and line. Using any other manufacturer's line can reduce
performance, damage the trimmer or cause personal injury.
USE ONLY 1.65 mm DIAMETER ROUND NYLON LINE. Do
not use serrated or heavier gauge line, as they will overload
the motor and cause overheating. This line is available at your
local dealer or authorized service center.
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 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’s required. Do not bump trimmer on
ground in attempt to feed line or for any other purposes.
Helpful cutting tips
u
Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force
string head into uncut grass.
u
Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even
breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may
wear string rapidly.
u
Do not allow spool cap to drag on ground or
other surfaces.
u
In long growth, cut from the top down and do not exceed
305 mm high.
u
Keep trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the
best cutting method.
u
The trimmer cuts when passing the unit from the left to
right. This will avoid throwing debris at the operator.
u
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding,
and fence posts can easily be damaged by the string.
Accessories
Compatible with CM100 mower base sold seperately.
Replacing the spool (fig.T, U, V, W, X)
Warning! To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn
unit off and remove the battery pack before making any ad-
justments or removing/installing attachments or accessories.
An accidental start-up can cause injury.
u
Depress the spool cap release tabs (16a) and remove the
spool cap (17) from the spool housing (16) in the trimmer
head (fig. T).
u
Grasp empty spool with one hand and spool housing with
other hand and pull spool out.
u
If lever (16b) (fig. U) in base of housing becomes
dislodged, replace in correct position before inserting new
spool into housing.
u
Remove any dirt and grass from the spool and housing.
u
Unfasten the end of the cutting line Fig. V and guide the
line into the eyelet (16d) Fig. W.
u
Take the new spool and push it onto the boss (16c) in the
housing (Fig. U). Rotate the spool slightly until it is seated.
The line should protrude approximately 136mm from
the housing.
u
Align the tabs on the spool cap with the slots in the
housing (Fig. X).
u
Push the cap onto the housing until it snaps securely
into place.
Rewinding spool from bulk line (fig. D14, D15, D16)
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:
u
Remove battery pack from trimmer.
u
Remove the empty spool from the trimmer as described in
“REPLACING THE SPOOL”.
u
Remove any remaining cutting line from the spool.
u
Make a fold at the end of the cutting line at about 19mm
(16g). Feed the cutting line into one of the line anchoring
slots (16h) as shown in Fig. Y.
u
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. Z1).
u
When the wound cutting line (16j) reaches the recesses
(16i), cut the line. (Fig. Z).
u
Fit the spool onto the trimmer as described in
“REPLACING THE SPOOL”.
