ENGLISH

B2

Do not cut wet grass, best results are
achieved when the grass is dry.

B3

Cut at an angle and with the tip of the nylon
line. Your trimmer is balanced to operate at
this angle.

B4

Swing your trimmer gently from side to side.

B5

Do not overload your trimmer. It operates
best at high speeds.

B6

On long grass, start at the top.

B7

Take small cuts.

B8

If your trimmer features a cord restraint,
loop a length of cord through the restraint to
prevent the plug and socket coming apart
accidentally if the cord is pulled.

How to fit a new spool of cutting line
(Fig. F & G)

Disconnect your trimmer from the
power supply.

F

Remove the spool cover by pushing the
two spool cover tabs (12) inwards and
upwards (Fig. F), then pull off (it is not
necessary to push both tabs in at the
same time). The empty spool can now
be withdrawn from the drive shaft.

Remove any dirt or grass that may have
collected inside the spool housing and
cover.

Unwind approximately 9cm (3.5") of
cutting line (5) from the new spool (15)
and temporarily park the cutting line end
in one of the ‘L’ shaped slots to prevent
the line unravelling.

G

Feed the cutting line through the eyelet
(14) and then push the spool onto the
centre drive shaft while pulling the free
end of the line to release it from the ‘L’
shaped slot. To fully seat the spool,
rotate as necessary, taking care not to
trap the cutting line underneath the spool
and making sure that there is a minimum
of 9cm (3.5") protruding from the
spool housing.

Replace the spool cover by aligning
both tabs on it (12) with the slots in the
spool housing and pushing them into
place. Make sure that both tabs are
securely located.

How to wind new line onto an empty
spool (Fig. H & J)

H

A maximum of 10 metres of new cutting
line can be wound onto the empty spool.
The spool has an ‘Indicator’ to help you
avoid winding an excessive quantity of
cutting line on the spool, as too much will
prevent the automatic feed system from
functioning.

Remove any remnant of old cutting line
from the spool (15).

J1

Push the end of the new cutting line into
one of the two retaining holes (17) provided
in the spool (15) and insert 20mm.

Bend the cutting line over, pulling it
through the adjacent ‘L’ shaped slot.
The cutting line should now be firmly
anchored to the spool and you may
proceed to wind it on in the direction of
the arrow (16).

J2

Take time to wind the cutting line on
neatly, in layers. Do not criss cross.

When you have wound on sufficient
cutting line, temporarily park it in one of
the ‘L’ shaped slots to prevent the spool
unravelling, ensuring you leave a
minimum of 9cm (3.5") protruding.

Fit the spool and spool cover (8) to the
spool housing as described for fitting a
new spool.

Replacement line

A new spool containing 10 metres of nylon line may
be purchased from your Black & Decker agent.
Alternatively, replacement packs containing 25 to
50 metres of line are available.

For maximum reliability never put on a heavier or
lighter line (eg. fishing line) which will prevent the
automatic feed from functioning, cause motor failure
or reduce cutting performance.

Care and maintenance

For the best performance, please keep the nylon
line, spool and air slots in your trimmer body
clean. Use a dry brush or cloth to remove grass,
sap or other dirt.

Plastic parts may be cleaned by using a mild
soap and a cloth dampened with hot water.
Do not use any other type of detergent, cleaner
