Troubleshooting

TRIMMER runs slowly

• Remove Battery from tool.

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

• Check that the cutting line does not protrude more than approximately 5-3/8 inches (136mm) from the spool. If it does, cut it off so that it just reaches the line trimming blade.

Automatic line feed does not work

• Remove Battery from tool.

• Remove the spool cap.

• Pull the cutting line until it protrudes approximately 5-3/8 inches (136mm) from the spool. If insufficient cutting line is left on the spool, install a new spool of cutting line.

• Ensure that the line is not crisscrossed on the spool as detailed in figure R. If it is, unwind the cutting line, then wind it back on the spool neatly so that the lines do not cross.

• Ensure the beginning of the cutting line is pulled tight against the spool as shown in figure Q.

• Align the tabs on the spool cap with the cut outs in the housing.

• Push the spool cap 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 and housing.

• Remove the spool and check if the lever in the spool housing can move freely.

• Remove the spool and unwind the cutting line, then wind it on neatly again. Replace the spool into the housing.

LST300, LST300R specifications

Black & Decker is a well-known brand in the power tools and outdoor equipment industry, and their LST300 and LST300R string trimmers are perfect examples of innovation and user-friendly design. Both models cater to home gardeners and landscapers seeking a reliable solution for maintaining their lawns.

The LST300 and LST300R are equipped with a powerful 20V lithium-ion battery, offering enough energy for extended usage while ensuring efficient runtime. The lithium-ion technology not only reduces weight but also minimizes self-discharge, which means you can keep these tools charged and ready for use whenever you need them.

One prominent feature of both string trimmers is their automatic feed spool system. This technology allows for continuous line advancement, so users don’t have to worry about manual adjustments. The automatic feed ensures that the trimmer line is dispensed as needed, allowing for uninterrupted trimming. This feature makes it easy to achieve a neat finish with minimal hassle.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the LST300 and LST300R is the 2-in-1 functionality. Users can quickly convert the trimmer into an edger with just a simple adjustment, making it easy to switch between trimming the lawn and edging sidewalks or flower beds. This versatility adds to the overall value of the tools, as it eliminates the need for multiple devices.

The trimmers also feature a lightweight design, allowing users to maneuver them easily around their gardens without causing undue strain. The adjustable telescoping shaft ensures that the trimmer can be tailored to fit different users, making it comfortable for anyone to operate.

Both models come with a battery charger that allows for quick recharges, ensuring that the trimmers are always ready for action. The LST300R model comes with a second battery, offering even more convenience and extended run time for larger yards or more demanding tasks.

In conclusion, the Black & Decker LST300 and LST300R string trimmers are ideal for anyone looking for an efficient, powerful, and easy-to-use landscaping tool. With features like lithium-ion power, automatic feed spool, and 2-in-1 functionality, these trimmers stand out in the competitive market of outdoor power equipment, making yard maintenance a breeze.
