Black & Decker GL710, GL741, GL716, GL720 Troubleshooting, Maintenance, Protecting the environment

Separate collection of used products and packaging allows materials to be recycled and used again. Re-use of recycled materials helps prevent environmental pollution and reduces the demand for raw materials.

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, unplug the tool.

Appliance 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

11 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.

uPull the cutting line until it protrudes 11 cm from the housing. If insufficient cutting line is left on the spool, install a new spool of cutting line as instructed above.

uAlign the tabs on the spool cover with the cut outs 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 or the spool is jammed, try the following suggestions:

uCarefully clean the spool cover and 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.
