Tool runs slowly
Check that the spool housing can rotate freely.
Carefully clean it if necessary.
Check that the cutting line does not protrude
more than 9 cm from the spool housing.
If it does, cut it off so that it just reaches the
line trimming blade.
Automatic line feed does not work
Keep the tabs depressed and remove the
spool cover from the housing.
Lift the spool approx. 6 mm and pull the
cutting line until it protrudes 9 cm from the
housing. If insufficient cutting line is left on
the spool, install a new spool of cutting line as
instructed above.
Push the spool back into place and rotate it
slightly until it is seated.
Align the tabs on the spool cover with the
holes in the housing.
Push the cover 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 cover and housing.
Remove the spool and check if the lever (20)
can move freely (fig. D).
Remove the spool and unwind the cutting line,
then wind it on neatly again as described
above. Replace the spool as instructed.
PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
Should you find one day that your tool
needs replacement, or if it is of no further
use to you, think of the protection of the
environment. Black & Decker repair agents
will accept old Black & Decker tools and
ensure that they are disposed of in an
environmentally safe way.
