Maintenance

Your Black & Decker tool has been designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning.

Your charger does not require any maintenance apart from regular cleaning.

Warning! Before performing any maintenance on the tool, remove the battery from the tool. Unplug the charger before cleaning it.

uAfter use disconnect the battery and check the tool for any damage.

uRegularly clean the ventilation slots in your tool and charger using a soft brush or dry cloth.

uRegularly clean the motor housing using a damp cloth. Do not use any abrasive or solvent-based cleaner.

uRegularly clean the cutting line and spool using a soft brush or dry cloth.

uRegularly use a blunt scraper to remove grass and dirt from the underneath of the guard.

Storage

When the tool will not be used for several months, ideally leave the battery connected to the charger. Otherwise proceed as follows:

uFully charge the battery.

uRemove the battery from the tool.

uStore the tool and battery in a secure and dry location. The storage temperature must always remain in the range of +5 °C to +40 °C. Place the battery on a level surface.

uBefore using the tool after prolonged storage, fully charge the battery again.

Troubleshooting

If your tool seems not to operate properly, follow the instructions below. If this does not solve the problem, please contact your local Black & Decker repair agent.

Warning! Before proceeding, remove the battery from the tool.

Tool runs slowly

uCheck that the spool housing can rotate freely. Carefully clean it if necessary.

uCheck that the cutting line does not protrude more than 10-12 cm from the spool housing. If it does, cut it off so that it just reaches the line trimming blade.

Automatic line feed does not work

uKeep the tabs depressed and remove the spool cover from the housing.

uLift the spool approx. 6 mm and pull the cutting line until it protrudes 10-12 cm from the housing. If insufficient cutting line is left on the spool, install a new spool of cutting line as instructed above.

uPush the spool back into place and rotate it slightly until it is seated.

uAlign the tabs on the spool cover with the holes in the housing.

uPush the cover onto the housing until it snaps securely into place.

uIf 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, try the following suggestions:

uCarefully clean the spool housing.

uRemove the spool and check if the lever can move freely.

uRemove the spool and unwind the cutting line, then wind it on neatly again as described above. Replace the spool as instructed.

Spool is jammed

uKeep the tabs depressed and remove the spool cover from the housing.

uCarefully clean the spool housing.

uPush the cover onto the housing until it snaps securely into place.
