Troubleshooting

If your tool seems not to operate properly, follow the
instructions below. If this does not solve the problem, please
contact your local Black & Decker repair agent.
Warning! Before proceeding, unplug the tool.
Appliance runs slowly
Check that the spool housing can rotate freely. Carefully
u
clean it if necessary.
Check that the cutting line does not protrude more than
u
11 cm from the spool housing. If it does, cut it off so that it
just reaches the line trimming blade.
If the bump feed does not work
Keep the tabs depressed and remove the spool cover
u
from the housing.
Pull the cutting line until it protrudes 11 cm from the
u
housing. If insufficient cutting line is left on the spool,
install a new spool of cutting line as instructed above.
Align the tabs on the spool cover with the cut outs in the
u
housing.
(Original instructions)
Push the cover onto the housing until it snaps securely
u
into place.
If the cutting line protrudes beyond the trimming blade,
u
cut it off so that it just reaches the blade.
If the bump feed still does not work or the spool is jammed, try
the following suggestions:
Carefully clean the spool cover and housing.
u
Remove the spool and check that the spring is in place.
u
Remove the spool and unwind the cutting line, then wind it
u
on neatly again as described above. Replace the spool as
instructed.
