ENGLISH
u
Do not use this trimmer to create trenches.
u
Using the edging wheel (10), guide the trimmer as shown
in Figure M.
u
Position the edging wheel on the edge of the sidewalk or
abrasive surface so the cutting line is over the grass or dirt
area to be edged.
u
To make a closer cut, slightly tilt the trimmer.
Speed control & runtime extension mode (Fig. N)
This string trimmer gives you the choice to operate at a
more efficient speed to extend the runtime for larger jobs, or
accelerate the trimmer speed for high-performance cutting
(Figure N).
u
To extend runtime, pull the speed-control switch (5) back
toward the battery (13) into position #1. This mode is best
for larger projects that require more time to complete.
u
To accelerate the trimmer, push the speed-control switch
forward toward the trimmer head (9) into position #2.
This mode is best to cut through heavier growth and for
applications that need higher RPM.
Note: When in acceleration mode (#2), runtime will be
decreased as compared to when trimmer is in extended
runtime mode (#1).
Helpful cutting tips
u
Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force
string head into uncut grass. Use edge guide along
such things as fences, houses and flower beds for best
practices.
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
300 mm high.
u
Keep trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the
best cutting area.
u
The trimmer cuts when passing the unit from the right to
left. 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.
Clearing jams and tangled line (Figures O, P, Q)
Warning! Remove the battery from the trimmer before
making any assembly, adjustments or changing accessories.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the appliance accidentally. From time to time, especially
when cutting thick or stalky weeds, the line feeding hub may
become clogged with sap or other material and the line will
become jammed as a result. To clear the jam, follow the steps
listed below.
u
Remove the battery from the trimmer.
u
Press the release tabs (23) on the line spool cap (24),
as shown in Figure O and remove the cap by pulling it
straight off.
u
Pull the nylon line spool out and clear any broken line or
cutting debris from the spool area.
u
Place spool and line into spool cap with line “parked” in
slots provided as shown in Figure P1.
u
Insert the line end through the appropriate hole in the
spool housing. Pull slack line through until it pulls out of
the holding slots as shown in Figure P2.
u
Press the spool down gently and rotate it until you feel it
drop into place and then push to snap into place. (When
in place, the spool will turn a few degrees left and right
freely).
u
Take care to keep the line from becoming trapped under
the spool.
u
Align the spool cap tabs with the slots on the spool
housing.
u
Snap the spool cap back on as shown in Figure Q by
depressing lugs and pressing into spool housing.
Note: Make sure that cover is fully positioned, listen for two
audible clicks to ensure both lugs are correctly located. Power
the appliance on. In a few seconds or less you’ll hear the
nylon line being cut automatically to the proper length.
Warning! To avoid appliance damage, if the cutting line
protrudes beyond the trimming blade, cut it off so that it just
reaches the blade.
Note: Other replacement parts (guards, spool caps, etc.) are
available through BLACK+DECKER service centers. To find
your local service location visit www.blackanddecker.com.
Warning! The use of any accessory not recommended by
BLACK+DECKER for use with this appliance could be
hazardous.
Replacing the spool (Fig. O, P, Q, R)
u
Remove battery from appliance.
u
Depress the tabs (23) and remove the spool cap (24) from
the spool housing (12) (Figure O).
u
Grasp empty spool with one hand and spool housing with
other hand and pull spool out.
u
If lever (25) or spring (26) in base of housing (Figure R)
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 and guide the line into
the eyelet (P2) Figure P.
u
Take the new spool and push it onto the boss (27)
(Figure R) in the housing. Rotate the spool slightly until it
is seated. The line should protrude approximately 136 mm
from the housing.
