manual abstract
To turn the tool off, release the trigger. • Slowly swing trimmer side-to-side as shown in Figure 9. • To convert for maintenance edging, turn off the tool. (See Figure 10) Holding the trimmer with one hand by the auxiliary handle, grasp the collar and push in direction of arrow and rotate the trimmer head until it stops, (half turn), release your hand, (rotate clockwise when viewed from the switch end). The tool is locked in the edger position. Rotate the wire edge guide forward and down into place before edging, as shown in Figure 11. • To operate as a maintenance edger, position trimmer above sidewalk as shown in Figure 12. • Return to trimming position by turning the tool off, push in direction of arrow and rotating the trimmer head counter clockwise until it stops. When using the tool in the trimmer mode you may choose to fold the wire edge guide up out of the way. LINE FEEDING Your trimmer uses .065” (1.65mm) diameter nylon line to cut grass and weeds quickly and easily. In time, the tip of the nylon line will become worn and the auto feed mechanism will automatically feed and trim a fresh length of line. The cutting line will wear faster if the cutting is done along sidewalks or other abrasive surfaces or heavier weeds are being cut. The automatic feed mechanism senses when more cutting line is needed and feeds and trims the correct length of line whenever it is required. You don’t even have to think about it. Do not bump unit on ground in attempt to feed line or for any other purpose. REPLACING SPOOL/CLEARING JAMS AND TANGLED LINES 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. • Turn off the trimmer and remove the battery. • Press the release tabs on the line spool cover, as shown in Figure 13 and remove the cover by pulling it straight off. • Lift the spool of nylon line out of the hub and clear any broken line or cutting debris from the spool area. • In case of jams and tangled line unwrap about one foot (30cm) of line to ensure that it is undamaged. If it is OK rewind it and insert the line end through the eyelet in the spool hub, as shown in Figure 14. Pull the line through the hole to maintain tension while placing the spool down into the hub with the notched side exposed, as shown in Figure 15. • Press the spool down GENTLY and rotate it until you feel it drop into place. (When in place, the spool will turn a few degrees left and right freely.) • Snap the spool cover back on, insert the battery and turn the tool on. In a few seconds or less you’ll hear the nylon line being cut automatically to the proper length. REWINDING SPOOL FROM BULK LINE (USE ONLY .065” DIAMETER LINE) Bulk line for your trimmer/edger is available at extra cost from your local dealer or Black & Decker Service Center. To install bulk line, follow the steps below. • Turn off the trimmer and remove the battery. • Press the release tabs on the line spool cover, as shown in Figure 13 and remove the cover by pulling it straight off. • Remove the spool from the tool and remove and discard all line on the spool. • Insert one end of the bulk line into the hole in the spool shown in Figure 16 about 1/2” (12mm). • Hold the line in the hole and pull the rest of the line through the slot in the spool, shown in Figure 16. • Snugly and evenly wind the bulk line onto the spool in the direction of the arrow on spool in Figure 16 until it is nearly full. (The spool holds 50 ft. (15.2m) of line and bulk line is sold in 50 foot sections.) • Insert the line end through the eyelet in the spool hub, as shown in Figure 14. Pull the line through the hole to maintain tension while placing the spool down into the hub with the notched side exposed, as shown in Figure 15. • Press the spool down GENTLY and rotate it until you feel it drop into place. (When in place, the spool will turn a few degrees left and right freely.) • Snap the spool cover back on, insert the battery and turn the tool on. In a few seconds or less you’ll hear the nylon line being cut automatically to the proper length.
