instructions below. If this does not solve the problem,
please contact your local Black & Decker repair agent.
Warning! Avoid accidentally switching the tool on.

Keep the tabs depressed and remove the spool cover

from the housing.

install a new spool of cutting line as instructed above.


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 can move freely.

Remove the spool and unwind the cutting line, then wind it

on neatly again as described above. Replace the spool as
instructed.
