How to alter the cutting head angle
of your trimmer (Fig. M & N)
Your trimmer has a variable cutting head angle.
• To give you the optimum trimming angle
independent of your personal height
(Fig. C).
M
• To raise the handle to a more comfortable
height when in the edging mode. Tip:
Alter the cutting head angle by lowering
the handle one or two knotches, while in
the trimming mode, prior to converting to
the edging mode (Fig. M).

cutting head will automatically lock when
you remove your foot from the pedal.
Replacement line
A new spool containing 10 metres of cutting line
(cat. no. A6481) may be purchased from your
Black & Decker dealer. Alternatively, replacement
line packs are available containing either 25m
(cat. no. A6170), 40m (cat. no. A6171) or 50m
(cat. no. A6054) of line.
For maximum reliability, never put on a heavier or
lighter line (e.g. fishing line) which will prevent the
automatic feed from functioning, cause motor failure
or reduce cutting performance.
How to fit a new spool of cutting line
(Fig. 4 & 5)
• Disconnect your trimmer from the
power supply.
4
• Remove the spool cover by pushing the
spool cover tabs (13) inwards and
upwards (Fig. 4), then pull off (it is not
necessary to push both tabs in at the
same time). The empty spool can now
be withdrawn from the drive shaft.
• Remove any dirt or grass that may have
collected inside the spool housing (12)
and cover (8).
5
• Unwind approximately 9cm (3.5") of cutting
line (5) from the new spool (17). Feed the
cutting line through the eyelet and then
push the spool onto the centre drive shaft
(Fig. 5). Rotate as necessary to fully seat
the spool, taking care not to trap the cutting
line underneath the spool and making
sure that there is a minimum of 9cm
(3.5") protruding from the spool housing.
