CLEARING JAMS AND TANGLED LINES | |
From time to time, especially when cutting thick or stalky weeds, | |
the line feeding hub may become clogged with sap or other | |
material and the line will become jammed as a result. To clear | |
the jam, follow the steps listed below. | |
1. Press the release tabs on the line | 9 |
hub cap, as shown in Figure 9 |
|
and remove the cap by pulling it |
|
straight off. |
|
2. Lift the spool of nylon line out of |
|
the hub and clear any broken line |
|
or cutting debris from the spool |
|
area. (If you plan to replace the |
|
spool or rewind it, this is the place |
|
to do so, otherwise, move on.) |
|
3. Unwrap about one foot (30 cm) of |
|
line to ensure that itʼs undamaged. | 10 |
If it is OK rewind it and insert the |
|
line end through the eyelet in the |
|
spool hub as shown in Figure 10. |
|
Pull 4 in. (10 cm) of the line |
| 11 |
through the hole and maintain |
| |
tension while placing the spool |
| |
down into the hub with the arrow |
| |
up, as shown in Figure 11. |
|
|
4. Press the spool down GENTLY |
| |
and rotate it until you feel it drop |
| |
into place. (When in place, the |
| |
spool will turn a few degrees left |
| |
and right freely). Takecare to |
| |
keep the line from becoming |
|
|
trapped under the spool. |
|
|
5. 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. | ||
• For trouble free feeding and best results, only use | ||
Black & Decker replacement spools with single 0.065 inch line. | ||
Black & Decker replacement spool model number | ||
SPOOL OR LINE REPLACEMENT (Use .065 in. (1.65mm) | ||
diameter ROUND line only) |

2. Remove the spool from the tool and remove and discard all line | ||
on the spool. | OPTION 2 below for spool or line | |
