KEY INFORMATION YOU SHOULD KNOW:
The guard must be installed before trimming or edging - if not, the
motor will overheat (page 7).
When replacing the line, use only .065 inch diameter ROUND line
(B&D Model #AF-100 is recommended) - otherwise the tool will
not function properly (page 9).
Do not bump the feed head against the ground - it will disrupt the
feed mechanism.

9. Use only the supplied charger when charging your unit. The use
of any other charger could damage the battery pack or create a
hazardous condition.
10. Use only one charger when charging.
11. Do not attempt to open the charger or the unit. There are no
customer serviceable parts inside. Return to any authorized
Black & Decker service center.
12. DO NOT incinerate battery packs even if they are severely
damaged or completely worn out.
13. Do not incinerate the batteries. They can explode in a fire. A
small leakage of liquid from the battery cells may occur under
extreme usage, charging or temperature conditions. This does
not indicate a failure. However, if the outer seal is broken and this
leakage gets on your skin:
a. Wash quickly with soap and water.
b. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or
vinegar.
c. If the battery liquid gets in your eyes, flush them with
clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek
immediate medical attention. MEDICAL NOTE: The liquid
is a 25-35% solution of potassium hydroxide.
THE BATTERY PACK IS NOT FULLY CHARGED AT THE
FACTORY. CHARGE BATTERY PACK FOR AT LEAST 9 HOURS
BEFORE USE.
The charger is designed to use standard
household 120 volt 60 Hz power.
1. Plug the charger into any standard 120
Volt 60 Hz electrical outlet (figure 1).
2. Slide the charger onto the battery pack
as shown in figure 2 and let the battery
pack charge initially for 9 hours. After
the initial charge, under normal usage,
your battery pack should be fully
charged in 6 to 9 hours.
2a) During charging the green LED will
appear.
2b) When charging is complete the green
LED wilt go off.
3.
Unplug charger, and remove
the battery pack. Place the
battery pack into the tool

figure 3.
NOTE: To remove the battery
pack, press down on the
release button on the back of
the battery pack and slide out.
![](/html/84/8439/84392dbb18104b40b3745b36c3e6ef058f5c1dfec283b289decb02cc98562a61/bg6.png)
IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
1. After normal usage, your battery pack should be fully charged in
6 to 9 hours. If the battery pack is run-down completely, it may
take up to 9 hours to become fully charged. Your battery pack
was sent from the factory in an uncharged condition. Before
attempting to use it, it must be charged for at least 9 hours.
2. DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air temperature below
+40°F(+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C). This is important and
will prevent serious damage to the battery pack. Longest life and
best performance can be obtained if battery pack is charged
when air temperature is about 75°F (24°C).
3. While charging, the charger may hum and become warm to
touch. This is a normal condition and does not indicate a
problem.
4. If the battery pack does not charge properly--(1) Check current
at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance. (2) Check
to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns
power off when you turn out the lights. (3) Move charger and
battery pack to a surrounding air temperature of 40°F (+4.5°C) to
105°F (+40.5°C). (4) If the receptacle and temperature are OK,
and you do not get proper charging, take or send the battery
pack and charger to your local Black & Decker service center.
See Tools Electric in yellow pages.
5. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce
sufficient power on jobs which were easily done previously. DO
NOT CONTINUE using unit with its battery pack in a depleted
condition.
6. The battery pack will reach optimum performance after being
cycled 5 times during normal usage. There is no need to run the
battery pack down completely before recharging. Normal usage
is the best method of discharging and recharging the battery
pack.
STORAGE RECOMMENDATION
1.Store tool:
a.) with the battery pack removed and on the charger.
b.) in a placethat iscool and dry away from direct sunlightand excess
heator cold.
c.) out of the reach of children.
2. For prolonged storage such as over the winter, the battery pack
should be fully charged and then removed from the charger. It
should be charged again just prior to use.
LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE CHARGER
It is OK to leave battery packs on charge for long periods of time. The
charger has a maintenance mode which gives the battery pack
enough charge to stay "topped off". If however, the tool is not
expected to be needed for more than 30 days, unplug the charger
and store battery pack in a coot, dry location. NOTE: A battery pack
will lose its charge when kept off of the charger. Ifthe battery pack
has not been kept on maintenance charge, it may need to be
recharged before use. Abattery pack may also lose its charge if left
in a charger that is not plugged into an appropriate AC source.

CUTTING LINE / LINE FEEDING
Your trimmer uses .065 inch (1.65 ram) diameter, ROUND
nylon line. During use, the tips of the nylon lines will become
frayed and worn and the special self feeding spool wilt
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 it's required. DO
NOT BUMP unit on ground in attempt to feed line or for any other
purposes.
z_CAUTION: Before you begin trimming, only use the
appropriate type of cutting line.
Use Black & Decker replacement spool Model No. AF-100.
Reload nylon line (either bulk or prewound replacement spool) as
shown in this manual.
• USE ONLY .065 inch (1.65 mm) DIAMETER ROUND NYLON
MONOFILAMENT LINE. Do not use serrated or heavier gauge
line, as they wilt overload the motor and cause overheating. This
line is available at your local dealer or authorized service center.
• Other replacement parts (guards, spool caps, etc.) are available
through Black & Decker service centers. To find your local service
location call: 1-800-544-6986 or visit www.blackanddecker.com.
ZLWARNING: The use of any accessory not recommended by
Black & Decker for use with this tool could be hazardous.

ZLWARNING: To avoid serious injury, remove the battery from
the tool before performing any maintenance.
1. Keep the air intake slots 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. 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.
Battery Recycling and the RBRC TM Seal
The RBRC TM (Rechargeable Battery Recycling
Corporation) Seal on the nickel-cadmium battery (or
battery pack) indicates that the costs to recycle the
battery (or battery pack) at the end of its useful life
have already been paid by Black & Decker. In some
areas, it is illegal to place spent nickel-cadmium batteries in the
trash or municipal solid waste stream and the RBRC program
provides an environmentally conscious alternative.
RBRC in cooperation with Black & Decker and other battery users,
has established programs in the United States and Canada to
facilitate the collection of spent nickel-cadmium batteries. Help
protect our environment and conserve natural resources by
returning the spent nickel-cadmium battery to an authorized
Black & Decker service center or to your local retailer for recycling.
You may also contact your local recycling center for information on
where to drop off the spent battery, or call 1=800-8-BATTERY.

TOOL RUNS SLOWLY
• 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
• Keep the tabs depressed and remove the spool from the spool
housing in the trimmer head.
• 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 18. If it is, unwind the cutting line, then wind it back on
the spool neatly so that the lines do not cross.
• Align the tabs on the spool cap with the cut outs in the housing.
• Push the spool 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.
