ENGLISH
feed and trim a fresh length of line. Cutting line will wear
faster and require more feeding if the cutting or edging is
done along pavements or other abrasive surfaces or heavier
weeds are being cut. The advanced automatic line feeding
mechanism senses when more cutting line is needed
and feeds and trims the correct length of line whenever
it's required. Do not bump trimmer on ground in attempt to
feed line or for any other purposes.
Helpful Cutting Tips
♦
Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force
string head into uncut grass.
♦
Wire and fences cause extra string wear, even
breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may
wear string rapidly.
♦
Do not allow spool cap to drag on ground or other
surfaces.
♦
In long growth, cut from the top down and do not exceed
300 mm high.
♦
Keep trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the
best cutting area.
♦
The trimmer cuts when passing the unit from the left to
right. This will avoid throwing debris at the operator.
♦
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings,
siding, and fence posts can easily be damaged by the
string.
Replacing the spool (Fig. N, O, P, Q)
Warning! To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn
unit off and disconnect it from power source before making
any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or
accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury
♦
Depress the tabs (15) and remove the spool cap (10a)
from the spool housing (16) in the trimmer head (Fig. N).
♦
For best results, replace spool with BLACK+DECKER
model no. A6481.
♦
Grasp empty spool with one hand and spool housing
with other hand and pull spool out.
♦
If lever (17) (Fig. O) 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 (19) Fig. P.
♦
Take the new spool and push it onto the boss ( 18 ) in
the housing (Fig. O). Rotate the spool slightly until it is
seated. The line should protrude approximately 136mm
from the housing.
♦
Align the tabs on the spool cap with the slots (20) in the
housing (Fig. Q).
♦
Push the cap onto the housing until it snaps securely
into place.

Warning! To avoid trimmer damage, if the cutting line
protrudes beyond the trimming blade, cut it off so that it just
reaches the blade.
