round diameter line)
Do not use square, star or other shaped line or larger
diameter. These may cause feeding issues or overload the
motor.
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 from appliance.
u
Remove the empty spool from the appliance as
described in “Replacing the spool.”
u
Remove any remaining cutting line from the spool.
u
First, wind new line in the channel of the spool closest
to the holding slots (34) as shown in Figure U.
u
Place the end of the cutting line (33) into the retaining
hole (36) (Figure V).
u
Wind the cutting line onto the spool in the direction
of the arrow on the bottom of the spool. Make sure to
wind the line on neatly and in layers. Do not crisscross.
u
When the wound cutting line reaches the beginning of the
holding slots, cut the line approximately 106 mm.
u
Push the line in the holding slot on one side of the spool
to hold the first line while you wind the second line.
u
Repeat the above procedure for the second cutting line
on the lower section of the spool.

Fit the spool into the appliance as described in

Troubleshooting
Problem Solution
Appliance runs
slowly.
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 122mm from the spool.
If it does, cut it off so that it just reaches the line
trimming blade
POWERCOMMAND
does not feed line.
More line is fed when the line shortens to ap-
proximately 76mm. To determine if the line is not
feeding, let line wear past this point.
Keep the tabs depressed and remove the spoolcap
with the spool from the spool housing in the
trimmer head.
Ensure that the line is not crisscrossed on the
spool. 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
122mm 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 cut outs
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 (2.00 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.
Overfeeding Ensure you are cutting with the tip of the line
177mm 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.M). Avoid contact of the line with hard
surfaces such as brick, concrete, wood etc. This
will prevent excessive wear and/or overfeed of line.
Cut with the tip of the line
Line unravels when
cap or spool is
removed
Make sure to park the lines in holding slots (Figure
R) before removing.
