How To Use Your Black & Decker Yard Trimmer
CLIP-TO-LOCK CORD RETAINER: (UNPLUG EXTENSION CORD AT TRIMMER)
An extension cord retainer is built into the switch handle that prevents the extension cord from
pulling out of the handle. To use the retainer, double the extension cord, as shown in Figure 1,
about a foot from the female end. Depress the retainer latch, shown in the figure, and insert the
cord as far as it will go. Holding the cord in place, release the retainer latch and the cord will be
securely held. To remove the cord, depress the retainer latch and pull the cord out.
Trimming Technique and Performance Notes
Proper trimming technique is essential to obtain the maximum in performance and handling ease.
CAUTION: Inspect area to be trimmed for any wire, cord, or string-like matter which could
become entangled in the rotating line or spool. Be particularly careful to avoid any wire which
might be bent outwardly into the path of the tool, such as barbs at the base of a chain link fence.
Tilt trimmer at a slight angle from the ground (Figure 2).
Lower to grass or weeds you intend to cut. (If they are over 20cm (8 in.) high, start cutting at
top.)
Slowly swing unit into and out of area being cut, holding the unit off the ground at desired
cutting height.
IMPORTANT — for the best cutting action against walls, fences and in high grass, move
trimmer slowly so grass is cut WITH THE TIP of the high speed nylon line.
1. Avoid running trimmer with hub in contact with ground.
2. Trim only when grass and weeds are dry.
3. The life of your nylon line is dependent upon following the above trimming techniques, as
well as what is being cut, and where the cutting is being done.
EXAMPLE: Line will wear faster when run against a foundation wall as compared to
trimming around a tree. Some line breakage will occur from feeding unit too fast, from
entanglement with foreign matter, from normal line fatigue, and from attempting to cut thick,
stalky weeds in excess of unitʼs capability.
NOTE: As the weather becomes cooler, the tendency for the nylon line to break becomes
greater.
DO NOT USE UNIT WHEN TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 50° F
4. For best performance, as the line wears, lengthen as indicated in Line Feeding Procedure.
5. Periodically unplug extension cord at trimmer and remove the accumulation of grass
or cutting debris from the inside of the bump cap shroud as shown in Figure 3.
Line Feeding Procedure
In order to feed a length of cutting line, strike the bump cap on the lawn while the trimmer is
running. This will automatically feed a new length of line and trim it to the correct length. A firm
but gentle motion should be used to strike the bump cap. The unit should be angled slightly
forward to prevent the guard from contacting the ground. This process may be repeated as
often as necessary. If unit fails to feed, unplug extension cord at trimmer and clean out the
bump cap (See Figure 3).
Spool Replacement and Recovery of Line Broken Off
Inside Spool
1. Unplug extension cord at trimmer.
2. Remove the bump cap by pulling up while depressing the two release tabs on the sides of
the hub at the points shown in Figure 4.
NOTE: It may be necessary to pull up on the cap while depressing the release tabs one
side at a time.
NOTE: The cutting line is quite springy and can be awkward to handle.
3. Remove any broken cutting line, wrap the remaining line tight and reinsert spool into hub as
follows.
a.Wind the line tight enough so that it is all below the edges of the flanges on the spool. If it
extends past the flanges, it wonʼt fit into the hub.
b.Place the loose end of the cutting line through the gap in the spool flange as shown in
Figure 6. (Either gap will do but try to leave yourself about 3 or 4 inches of line to work
with as shown in the figure 5)
c. Holding the line in the gap, insert the end through the eyelet in the hub and slip the spool
into the hub, as shown in Figure 6.
Make sure the spring is still in place in the hub. If the spool does not slip into the hub easily,
press gently and pull straight out on the cutting line that protrudes through the eyelet.
4. Once the spool drops into the hub, align the release tabs on the shroud with the slots in
the hub and press the shroud into place. Be sure that both release tabs snap into place.
5. To replace the line on a spool, follow the steps below
a.Locate, on the empty spool, one of the two small holes shown in Figure 7.
b.Insert the end of the line no more than 1/8 in. into the hole and begin winding the line
around the spool. Be sure to wind the line in the direction of the arrow in Figure 8.
c.Perform steps 4 and 5.
Maintenance- Unplug Extension Cord at Trimmer
MAINTAIN TOOL WITH CARE
1. Keep the air intake slots clean to avoid overheating which will damage trimmer. For this
cleaning, use a dry brush or cloth to remove grass, sap or other debris.
2. Plastic parts may be cleaned by using a mild soap and a rag dampened with hot water.
Avoid all other types of detergents, cleaners or solvents which might contain chemicals that
could seriously damage the plastic. Do not spray the trimmer with water.
3. Self lubricating bearings are used in the tool and periodic relubrication is not required.
However, it is recommended that after two or three seasons of use, you take or send the
trimmer to a Black & Decker service center or authorized service station (see TOOLS,
ELECTRIC in yellow pages) for a thorough cleaning, inspection and relubrication. If the tool
is being used professionally, the above should be accomplished after each trimming season.
4. If trimmer fails to operate, disconnect extension cord from power source first, then from
trimmer. Make sure extension cord is undamaged and that house fuses are not blown or
circuit breakers tripped. If trimmer still fails to operate, take or send it to your local B&D
service center or authorized service station for repair. Do not attempt to repair it yourself.
IMPORTANT
To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustment
(including brush inspection and replacement) should be performed by Black & Decker
