REPLACING THE SPOOL (FIGURES 12,13,14)
• Remove battery from tool.
• Depress the tabs (k) and
remove the spool cap (l) from
the spool housing (m) in the
trimmer head (
figure 12
).
• For best results, replace
spool with Black & Decker
model # AF-100.
• Grasp empty spool with one
hand and spool housing with
other hand and pull spool out.
• If lever (n) (
figure 13
) in
base of housing becomes
dislodged, replace in correct
position before inserting new
spool into housing.
• Remove any dirt and grass
from the spool and housing.
• Unfasten the end of the
cutting line and guide the line
into the eyelet (o)
figure 14
.
• Take the new spool and
push it onto the boss (p)
(
figure 13
) in the housing.
Rotate the spool slightly until it
is seated.
The line should protrude
approximately 5-3/8 inches
(136mm) from the housing.
• Align the tabs on the spool
cap with the slots (q) in the
housing (
figure 14
).
• Push the cap onto the
housing until it snaps
securely into place.
CAUTION:
To avoid tool damage, if the cutting line protrudes
beyond the trimming blade, cut it off so that it just reaches the
blade.
REWINDING SPOOL FROM BULK LINE
(USE ONLY .065 IN. ROUND DIAMETER LINE) (FIGURES 15, 16, 17)
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:
• Remove battery from tool.
• Remove the empty spool
from the tool as described
in “
REPLACING THE
SPOOL
”.
• Remove any remaining
cutting line from the spool.
• Make a fold at the end of
the cutting line at about 3/4
inch (19mm)(r). Feed the
cutting line into one of the line anchoring slots (s) as shown in
figure 15
.
