REWINDING SPOOL (FIGURES S, T)
WARNING:
from the trimmer before making any
assembly, adjustments or changing
accessories. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the
appliance accidentally.
NOTE: USE ONLY .080 inch (2.0 mm)
DIAMETER ROUND NYLON MONO
FILAMENT LINE. Do not use serrated,
heavier or lighter gauge line, as they
will overload the motor and cause
overheating. Using line other than 0.080
inch round line will cause the automatic
feed system to malfunction.
NOTE: Hand wound spools from bulk
line are likely to become tangled more
frequently than BLACk+DECkER factory
wound spools. For best results, factory
wound spools are recommended.
To rewind spool, follow the steps below:
• Remove the empty spool from
the appliance as described in
"REPLACING THE SPOOL".
• Make a fold at the end of the cutting
line at about 3/4 inch (19mm) (S1).
• Insert the folded cutting line into the
upper hole inside of the spool (S2) as
shown in figure S3.
• Wind the cutting line onto the spool in
the direction of the arrow on the spool.
Make sure to wind the line on neatly and
in layers. Do not crisscross figure T.
