u
(3) then squeeze the trigger lever (1). Once the tool is
running you may release the lock off button (3).
To switch the tool off, release the trigger lever.
u

Power select
The power select feature (9) is located on the tool handle. It
allows you to optimize the tools performance and boost the
power as needed.
Operate in "ECO" mode for most trimming needs. (Longer
u
runtime will be achieved.)
Switch to "TURBO" mode as required when tall, damp or
u
thick conditions are present.
Hints for optimum use
General
In order to achieve optimum cutting results, only cut dry
u
grass.
Trimming
Hold the tool as shown in fig. J
u
Gently swing the trimmer from side to side.
u
When cutting long grass, work in stages from the top. Take
u
small cuts.
Keep the tool away from hard objects and delicate plants.
u
Cutting line will wear faster and require more feeding if
u
the cutting is done along pavements or other abrasive
surfaces or heavier weeds are being cut.
If the tool starts running slowly, reduce the load.
u
Edging
Optimum cutting results are achieved on edges deeper than
50 mm.
Do not use the tool to create edges. To create edges, use
u
an edging spade.
Guide the tool on its wheel (10) as
u
shown in fig. I.
To make a closer cut, slightly tilt the tool.
u
Fitting a new spool of cutting line (fig. L)
Replacement spools of cutting line are available from your
BLACK+DECKER dealer (cat. no. A6481).
Remove the battery from the tool.
u
Keep the tabs (21) depressed and remove the spool cover
u
(22) from the spool housing (7).
Remove the empty spool (23) from the spool housing.
u
Remove any dirt and grass from the spool cover and
u
housing.
Take the new spool and push it onto the boss in the spool
u
housing. Rotate the spool slightly until it is seated.
Unclip the end of the cutting line and guide the line into
u
the eyelet (24). The line should protrude approx. 11 cm
from the spool Housing.

(Original instructions)
Align the tabs (21) on the spool cover with the cut outs
u
(25) in the spool housing.
Push the cover onto the spool housing until it snaps
u
securely into place.
Warning! If the cutting lines protrude beyond the trimming
blade (26), cut them off so that they just reach the blade.
Winding new line onto an empty spool (fig. M, N &
O)
You may wind new cutting line onto an empty spool.
Replacement packs of cutting line are available from your
BLACK+DECKER dealer (cat. no. A6170 (25 m), A6171 (40
m)).
Remove the empty spool from the tool as described
u
above.
Remove any remaining cutting line from the spool.
u
Feed 2 cm of cutting line into the hole (27) in the spool as
u
shown (fig. M).
Bend the cutting line and anchor it in the L-shaped slot
u
(28).
Wind the cutting line onto the spool in the direction of the
u
arrow. Make sure to wind the line on neatly and in layers.
Do not criss-cross (fig. O).
When the wound cutting line reaches the recesses (29),
u
cut the line. Let the line protrude approx. 11 cm from the
spool and hold a finger on the line to keep it in place (fig.
N).
Proceed as described above to fit the spool on the tool.
u
Warning! Only use the appropriate type of BLACK+DECKER
cutting line.
Troubleshooting
If your tool seems not to operate properly, follow the instruc-
tions below. If this does not solve the problem, please contact
your local BLACK+DECKER repair agent.
Warning! Before proceeding, remove the battery from the
tool.
Appliance runs slowly
Check that the spool housing can rotate freely. Carefully
u
clean it if necessary.
Check that the cutting line does not protrude more than
u
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
Keep the tabs depressed and remove the spool cover
u
from the housing.
Pull the cutting line until it protrudes 11 cm from the hous-
u
ing. 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 cut outs in the
u
housing.
Push the cover onto the housing until it snaps securely
u
into place.
If the cutting line protrudes beyond the trimming blade, cut
u
it off so that it just reaches the blade.
