6. Snap the hub cap back on, and power the tool on. In a few
seconds or less youʼll hear the nylon line being cut automatically
to the proper length.
OPTION 1: ACCESSORY REPLACEMENT SPOOL
Use Black & Decker replacement spool Model No. AF-100. Discard
old spool.
OPTION 2: REWINDING SPOOL USING BULK 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. (Use .065 in. diameter ROUND line only)
1. Insert one end of the bulk line into
the hole in the spool as shown
in Figure 12 about 1/2 in. (12 mm).
2. Hold the line in the hole and pull
the rest of the line through the slot
in the spool, shown in Figure 12.
3. Snugly and evenly wind the bulk
line onto the spool in the direction
of the arrow on the spool until the
line builds up to the notches in the
spool rim. (Figure 12) Do not
overfill spool. The spool holds
30 feet (10 m) of line.
MAINTENANCE
1. Keep the air intake slots (Figure 1) clean to avoid overheating.
2. Your trimmer line can dry out over time. To keep your line in top
condition, store spare pre-wound spools or bulk line in a plastic,
sealable bag with a tablespoon of water.
3. Plastic parts may be cleaned by using a mild soap and a damp
rag.
