Hints for optimum use
General
♦ In order to achieve optimum cutting results, only
cut dry grass.
Trimming
♦ Hold the tool as shown in fi g. D.
♦ Gently swing the trimmer from side to side.
♦ When cutting long grass, work in stages from
the top. Take small cuts.
♦ Keep the tool away from hard objects and deli-
cate plants.
♦ Cutting line will wear faster and require more
feeding if the cutting is done along pavements
or other abrasive surfaces or heavier weeds are
being cut.
♦ As you use the trimmer, the string will get shorter
due to wear. Gently bump the unit on the ground
whilst running and the line will feed.
♦ If the tool starts running slowly, reduce the load.
Fitting a new spool of cutting line (fi g. E - F)
Replacement spools of cutting line are available
from your Black & Decker dealer (cat. no. A6226).
♦ Keep the tabs (12) depressed and remove the
spool cover (13) from the housing (9).
♦ Remove the empty spool (14) from the spool
housing.
♦ Remove any dirt and grass from the spool cover
and housing.
♦ Take the new spool and unwind approximately
10 cm of cutting line.
♦ Feed the cutting line through the eyelet (15).
♦ Push the spool onto the drive shaft (16) and
rotate it slightly until it is seated. Make sure that
the cutting line is not trapped under the spool
and that 10 cm of cutting line protrudes from the
housing.
♦ Align the tabs (12) on the spool cover with the
holes in the housing (15).
♦ Push the cover onto the housing until it snaps
securely into place.
