REPLACINg THE SPOOL
• Remove battery from trimmer.
• Depress the tabs (14) and remove the spool cap (8) from the spool housing (15) in the
trimmer head (figure M).
• For best results, replace spool with Black & Decker model # AF-100.
• Grasp empty spool with one hand and spool housing with other hand and pull spool out.
• If lever (16) in base of housing becomes dislodged, replace in the position as shown in
figure N before inserting new spool into housing.
• Remove any dirt and grass from the spool and housing.
• Unfasten the end of the cutting line and guide the line into the eyelet (18) figure O.
• Take the new spool and push it onto the boss (17) (figure N) in the housing. Rotate the
spool slightly until it is seated. The line should protrude approximately 5-3/8 inches (136mm)
from the housing.
• Align the tabs on the spool cap with the slots (19) in the housing (figure O).
• Push the cap onto the housing until it snaps securely into place.
CAUTION:
To avoid trimmer damage, if the cutting line protrudes beyond the trimming
blade, cut it off so that it just reaches the blade.
REWINDINg SPOOL FROM BULK LINE (USE ONLY .065 IN. ROUND DIAMETER LINE)
Bulk line is also available for purchase from your local retailer. NOTE: Hand wound spools
from bulk line are likely to become tangled more frequently than Black & Decker factory
wound spools. For best results, factory wound spools are recommended.
To install bulk line, follow the steps below:
• Remove battery from trimmer.
• Remove the empty spool from the trimmer as described in "REPLACINg THE SPOOL".
• Remove any remaining cutting line from the spool.
• Make a fold at the end of the cutting line at about 3/4 inch (19mm) (20). Feed the cutting
line into one of the line anchoring slots (21) as shown in figure P.
• Insert the 3/4 inch (19mm) end of the bulk line into the hole (22) in the spool adjacent to the
slot as shown in figure Q. Make sure the line is pulled tight against the spool as shown in
figure Q.
• Wind the cutting line onto the spool in the direction of the arrow on the spool. Make sure to
wind the line on neatly and in layers. Do not crisscross (figure R).
• When the wound cutting line reaches the recesses (23), cut the line. (figure Q).
• Fit the spool onto the trimmer as described in "REPLACINg THE SPOOL".

programs in the United States to facilitate the collection of spent LI-ION batteries. Help protect
our environment and conserve natural resources by returning the spent LI-ION battery to
