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.

Before proceeding, unplug the tool.

Tool runs slowly

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

◆Check that the cutting line does not protrude more than 9 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

◆Keep the tabs depressed and remove the spool cover from the housing.

◆Pull the cutting line until it protrudes 9 cm from the housing. If insufficient cutting line is left on the spool, install a new spool of cutting line as instructed above.

◆Align the tabs on the spool cover with the holes in the housing.

◆Push the cover onto the housing until it snaps securely into place.

◆If 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 or the spool is jammed, try the following suggestions:

◆Carefully clean the spool cover and housing.

◆Remove the spool and check if the lever can move freely.

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