tool, retract the wire edge

CUTTING LINE / LINE FEEDING
Your trimmer uses .065 inch (1.65 mm) diameter, ROUND
nylon line. During use, the tips of the nylon lines will become
frayed and worn and the special self feeding spool will
automatically 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 sidewalks 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 itʼs required. DO
NOT BUMP unit on ground in attempt to feed line or for any other
purposes.
REPLACEMENT ACCESSORIES
Use Black & Decker replacement spool Model No. AF-100.
Reload nylon line (either bulk or prewound replacement spool) as
shown in this manual.
• USE ONLY .065 inch (1.65 mm) DIAMETER ROUND NYLON
LINE. Do not use serrated or heavier gauge line, as they will
overload the motor and cause overheating. This line is available
at your local dealer or authorized service center.

through Black & Decker service centers. To find your local service
