desirable plantings.

• KEEP ALL BY-STANDERS AWAY – at a safe distance from work area, especially children.

• IMPORTANT WARNING – When being used as an Edger, stones, pieces of metal and other objects can

be thrown out at high speed by the line. The tool and guard are designed to reduce the danger. However, the following special precautions should be taken:

• MAKE SURE that other persons and pets are at least 100 feet away.

• TO REDUCE THE RISK of rebound (ricochet) injury, work going away from any nearby solid object such

as wall, steps, large stone, tree, etc. Use great care when working close to solid objects and where necessary, do edging or trimming by hand.

• AVOID ACCIDENTALLY STARTING – Don’t carry plugged-in tool with finger on trigger.

• DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL – at a rate faster than the rate at which it is able to cut effectively.

• USE THE RIGHT TOOL – Do not use this tool for any job except that for which it is intended.

• DON’T OVERREACH – Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

• DON’T ABUSE CORD – Don’t yank cord from power supply. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

• DAMAGE TO UNIT – If you strike or become entangled with a foreign object, stop tool immediately, unplug,

check for damage and have any damage repaired before further operation is attempted. Do not operate with a broken hub or spool.

• DAMAGE TO CORD – Keep power cord away from rotating line. If you damage the cord, unplug it from

the power supply before moving the tool or examining the damage. A damaged cord must be replaced before further use.

• DISCONNECT TOOL – when not in use, when replacing line, or prior to cleaning.

• AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS – Do not use electric tools in damp or wet

locations. Follow all instructions in this Instruction Manual for proper operation of your tool. Don’t use the tool in the rain.

• DO NOT OPERATE portable electric tools in gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Motors in these tools

normally spark, and the sparks might ignite fumes.

• STORE IDLE TOOLS INDOORS – When not in use, tools should be stored indoors in a dry, locked-up

place out of reach of children.

• GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFCI) protection should be provided on the circuits or outlets to

be used for the gardening appliance. Receptacles are available having built in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of protection.

• SECURE EXTENSION CORD using the cord retainer shown in Figure 4.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) and will require the use of a polarized extension cord. The appliance plug will fit into a polarized extension cord only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, obtain a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper wall outlet. Do not change the equipment plug, extension cord receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.

Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. If the extension will be used outside, the cord must be suitable for outdoor work. The letters “WA” on the cord jacket indicate that the cord is suitable for outdoor use.

SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS: POLARIZED PLUGS

SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS: EXTENSION CORDS

• STAY ALERT – Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired.

• MAINTAIN APPLIANCES WITH CARE – Follow instructions in maintenance section. Inspect extension cords

periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS – Before further use of the appliance, a guard or other part that is damaged

should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other condition that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this manual.

• WARNING: When servicing double insulated tools, USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.

Replace or repair damaged cords.

• WARNING: To prevent electrical shock hazard, use only with an extension cord suitable for outdoor

use. Always connect extension cords to a fused line or one protected by a circuit breaker.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• With the unit on, slowly swing the trimmer side to side as shown in Figure 7.

• To convert for maintenance edging, unplug the unit from the power source. Gently pull the wire edge

guide down into place as shown in Figure 8. Push the black “For Edging” button and rotate the lower motor housing 180°. The tool will lock in the edger position.

• To operate as a maintenance edger, position the trimmer above the surface as shown in Figure 10.

• Return to the trimming position by unplugging the unit from the power source, pushing the black “For

Edging” button and rotating the lower motor housing back 180°. The tool will lock in the trimmer position. When using the tool put up the wire edge guide to the original position, out of the way.

CUTTING LINE

LINE FEEDING

Your trimmer uses .065” (1.65 mm) diameter, ROUND nylon line to cut grass and weeds quickly and easily. During use, the tip of the nylon line will become frayed and worn and the special self feeding line hub will automatically feed and trim a fresh length of line. Cutting line will wear faster and require more feeding if the cutting or edging is done along sidewalks or other abrasive surfaces or heavier weeds are being cut. The advanced automatic line feeding mechanism senses when more cutting line is needed and feeds and trims the correct length of line whenever its required. DO NOT BUMP unit on ground in attempt to feed line or for any other purposes.

CLEARING JAMS AND TANGLED LINES

From time to time, especially when cutting thick or stalky weeds, the line feeding hub may become clogged with sap or other material and the line will become jammed as a result. To clear the jam, follow the steps listed below.

1. Unplug the trimmer.

2. Press the release tabs on the line hub cap, as shown in Figure 12 and remove the cap by pulling it

straight off.

3. Lift the spool of nylon line out of the hub and clear any broken line or cutting debris from the spool area.

(If you plan to replace the spool or rewind it, this is the place to do so, otherwise, move on.)

4. Unwrap about one foot (30 cm) of line to ensure that it’s undamaged. If it is OK rewind it and insert the

line end through the eyelet in the spool hub as shown in Figure 13. Pull 4” (10 cm) of the line through the hole and maintain tension while placing the spool down into the hub with the arrow up, as shown in Figure 14.

5. Press the spool down GENTLY and rotate it until you feel it drop into place. (When in place, the spool will

turn a few degrees left and right freely). Take care to keep the line from becoming trapped under the spool.

6. Snap the hub cap and spring back on, and power the tool on. In a few seconds or less you’ll hear the

nylon line being cut automatically to the proper length.

SPOOL OR LINE REPLACEMENT (Use .065” diameter ROUND line only)

1. Perform steps 1 and 2 above.

2. Remove the spool from the tool and remove and discard all line on the spool.

3. Choose either OPTION 1 or OPTION 2 below for spool or line replacement.

4. Insert the line end through the eyelet in the spool hub, as shown in Figure 13. Pull the line through the

hole to maintain tension while placing the spool down into the hub, as shown in Figure 14.

5. Press the spool down GENTLY and rotate it until you feel it drop into place. (When in place, the spool will

turn a few degrees left and right freely). Take care to keep the line from becoming trapped under the spool.

6. Snap the hub cap and spring back on, and power the tool on. In a few seconds or less you’ll hear the

nylon line being cut automatically to the proper length.

OPTION 1: ACCESSORY REPLACEMENT SPOOL

Use Black & Decker replacement spool Model No. AF-100.

OPTION 2: REWINDING SPOOL USING BULK LINE

Bulk line for your trimmer/edger is available at extra cost from your local dealer or Black & Decker Service Center. To install bulk line, follow the steps below. (Use .065” diameter ROUND line only)

1. Insert one end of the bulk line into the hole in the spool as shown in Figure 13 about 1/2” (12 mm).

2. Hold the line in the hole and pull the rest of the line through the slot in the spool, shown in Figure 14.

3. Snugly and evenly wind the bulk line onto the spool in the direction of the arrow on the spool until the line

builds up to the notches in the spool rim. (Fig. 15) Do not overfill spool. The spool holds 30 feet (10 m) of line.

Be sure the tool is unplugged.

1. Keep the air intake slots (Figure 9) clean to avoid overheating.

2. Your trimmer line can dry out over time. To keep your line in top condition, store spare pre-wound spools

or bulk line in a plastic, sealable bag with a tablespoon of water.

3. Plastic parts may be cleaned by using a mild soap and a damp rag.

4. DO NOT immerse tool in water or squirt it with a hose. DO NOT allow any liquid to get inside it.

5. Do not store the tool on or adjacent to fertilizers or chemicals.

6. DO NOT clean with a pressure washer.

7. The line cutter on the edge of the guard can dull over time. It is recommended you periodically touch-up

the sharpness of the blade with a file.

IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustment should be performed by authorized service centers or other qualified service organizations, always using identical replacement parts.

ACCESSORIES

Use Black & Decker replacement spool Model No. AF-100 and / or the cap and spring replacement Model No. RC100. Reload nylon line (either bulk or prewound replacement spool) as shown in this manual.

• USE ONLY .065” (1.65 mm) DIAMETER NYLON MONOFILAMENT LINE. Do not use serated or heavier

gauge line, as they will overload the motor and cause overheating. The unit only functions properly with

0.065” diameter nylon monofilament line. This line is available at your local dealer or authorized service center.

DIRECTIVES ET AVERTISSEMENTS GÉNÉRAUX CONCERNANT TOUS LES OUTILS

• TOUJOURS PORTER UN DISPOSITIF DE PROTECTION OCULAIRE, tel que des lunettes de sécurité, lorsque

l’outil est branché.

• DISPOSITIF DE PROTECTION : toujours installer le dispositif de protection avant d’utiliser l’outil.

• TOUJOURS PORTER DES VÊTEMENTS APPROPRIÉS; ne pas porter de vêtements amples ni de bijoux, car

ceux-ci peuvent rester coincés dans les pièces mobiles. On recommande le port de gants en caoutchouc et de chaussures robustes à semelles de caoutchouc lorsqu’on effectue des travaux à l’extérieur. Ne pas utiliser l’outil pieds nus ou lorsqu’on porte des sandales ouvertes. Porter des pantalons pour protéger les jambes, et couvrir ou attacher les cheveux longs.

• FIL DE NYLON : toujours garder le visage, les mains et les pieds éloignés du fil en mouvement.

• LE FIL ROTATIF SERT À COUPER. Il faut donc le manipuler avec soin lorsqu’on coupe autour des

moustiquaires ou des plantes à conserver.

• SE TENIR ÉLOIGNÉ D’AUTRES PERSONNES; s’assurer de garder une distance sûre entre la zone de coupe

et toute personne présente, surtout les enfants.

• AVERTISSEMENT IMPORTANT : lorsqu’on utilise l’outil pour tailler une bordure, le fil risque de projeter des

pierres, des morceaux de métaux ou tout autre objet à haute vitesse. Bien que l’outil et le dispositif de protection soient conçus de manière à réduire ce risque, on doit prendre les précautions suivantes :

• S’ASSURER que les gens présents et les animaux domestiques demeurent à plus de 30,5 m (100 pieds)

de la zone de coupe.

• AFIN DE RÉDUIRE LES RISQUES de blessure causés par les rebonds ou les ricochets, on doit couper en

s’éloignant de tout objet comme un mur, des marches, une grosse roche ou un arbre. Il faut faire preuve d’une grande prudence lorsqu’on coupe près d’un tel objet. Le cas échéant, couper la bordure à la main.

• ÉVITER LES DÉMARRAGES ACCIDENTELS; ne pas transporter l’outil lorsque ce dernier est branché en
