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
4	power supply.
	• 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	be withdrawn from the drive shaft.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)
5	and cover (8).
	• 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.
