KEY INFORMATION YOU SHOULD KNOW:
o The guard must be installed before trimming or edging - if
not, the motor will overheat (page 5).
o When replacing the line, use only .065 inch diameter
ROUND line (B&D Model No. DF-065 is recommended) -
otherwise the tool will not function properly (page 8).
o Do not bump the feed head against the ground - it will
disrupt the feed mechanism.
Always use the cord retention feature (page 7).

• KEEP ALL BYSTANDERS 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 toot 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
(30m) 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.
AVOIDACCIDENTALLY 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 alltimes.
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 toot 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 (GFCl) 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 H.
• STAY ALERT - Do not operate this unit when you are tired, ill,
or under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication
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.
zLWARNING: Do not use toot if the switch trigger does not turn
the tool on or off. Any toot that can not be controlled with the switch
trigger is dangerous and must be repaired.
ZLWARNING: When servicing double insulated tools, USE
ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS. Replace or repair
damaged cords.
zLWARNING: 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.
• DO NOT immerse toot in water or squirt it with a hose. DO NOT
allow any liquid to get inside it.
• DO NOT store the toot on or adjacent to fertilizers or chemicals.
• DO NOT clean with a pressure washer.

Z_WARNING: Some dust created by this product contains
chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• compounds in fertilizers
• compounds in insecticides, herbicides and pesticides
arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, wear approved safety
equipment such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other) and wilt 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 walt 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.

the lower housing back 180°.
The tool will lock inthe
trimmer position. When using
the tool, retract the wire
edge guide to the original
position, out of the way.
HELPFUL CUTTING TIPS
Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force string
head into uncut grass. Use edge guide along such things as
fences, houses and flower beds for best practices.
• Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even breakage.
Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may wear string rapidly.
Do not allow spool cap to drag on ground or other surfaces.
In long growth cut from the top down and do not lift trimmer
head more than 12 inches (304.8 rnm) from the ground.
Keep trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the best
cutting area.
• The trimmer cuts when passing the unit from the right to left.
This will avoid throwing debris at the operator.
• Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding, and
fence posts can easily be damaged by the string.

REWINDING SPOOL IF LINE UNRAVELS
(USE ONLY .065 IN. ROUND DIAMETER
LINE) (FIGURES 0 & P)
NOTE: Hand wound spools are likely to
become tangled more frequently than Black
& Decker factory wound spools. For best
results, factory wound spools are
recommended.
To rewind spools, follow the steps below:
Unplug the toot.
Remove the empty spool from the tool
as described in "REPLACINGTHESPOOL".
Firstwind new lineontothe uppermost partof
the spool.
Feed 3/4 inch (19mm) of
cutting line into one of the line
anchoring slots.
• 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 0).
When the wound cutting
line reaches the recesses (j),
cut the line. (figure P).
• Temporarily park the line in
the holding slots (k) on one side
of the spool as shown in the
inset in figure P.
Repeat the above
procedure for the second
cutting line on the lower section of the spool.
Fitthe spool ontothe tool asdescribed in "REPLACING THE SPOOL".
CAUTION: Before you begin trimming, only use the
appropriate type of cutting line. Ensure that cutting line is present in
both sections of the spool (figure M).
WARNING: To avoid serious injury, switch off and unplug the
tool before performing any maintenance.

PROBLEM
Tool runs slowly.
Automatic line feed does not
feed more line.
SOLUTION
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 trimmingblade.
If the toot still runs stov_ty,stop
using the tool and take it to a
serwce center.
More line is fed when the line
shortens to approximately 3
inches (76.2mm). To determine if
the line is not feeding, letline
wear past this point.
• Keep the tabs depressed and
remove the spool from the spool
housing in the trimmer head.
• Ensure that the line is not
crisscrossed on the spool as
detailed in figure O. If it is,
unwind the cutting line, then
wind it back on the spool neatly
so that the lines do not cross.
• Inspect tracks at the bottom of
spool for damage. If damaged,
replace spool.
Read the code on the back of
spool. Ifit reads "PA66"call
customer servicefora replacement.
Ifit reads "ABS"thisis not the issue.

AVERTISSEMENT :Certaines poussi_res produites pay cet
util contiennent des produits chimJques reconnus par I'Etat de
la CaJJfornie comme pouvant causer le cancer, Jes anomaJies
cong_nitaJes et d'autres dangers pour la reproduction. Voici
quelques exemples de ces produJts chimiques :
• composes presents dans les engrais
• composes presents dans les insecticides, herbicides et
pesticides
• arsenic et chrome provenant de bois traite chimiquement
Pour reduire votre exposition & ces produits chimiques, porter un
equipement de securit6 approuve comme un masque anti-poussieres
congu speciatement pour filtrer les particules microscopiques.
17
Pour reduire le risque de chocs electriques, cet equipement
comporte une fiche polarisee (une broche est plus large que I'autre)
et exigera I'utilisation d'une rallonge polarisee. La fiche de I'outit
etectrique ne se branchera que d'une seule fa_:ondans une ratlonge
potarisee. Si la fiche ne s'insere pas totatement dans la ratlonge,
renversez-la. Si la prise ne s'insere toujours pas, rechercher une
ratlonge polarisee appropriee. Une ratlonge potarisee exigera
I'utilisation d'une prise murale polarisee. Cette fiche ne se
branchera que d'une seule fa(_ondans une prise murale polarisee.
Si la fiche ne s'insere pas totalement dans la prise murale,
renversez-la. Si etle ne s'insere toujours pas dans la prise,
demandez a un electricien competent d'installer une prise murale
polarisee. Ne modifiez en aucun cas la fiche de l'appareil, la prise
ou la fiche de la rallonge.
S'assurer que ta rallonge est en bon etat. Lorsque qu'une rallonge
etectrique est utilisee, s'assurer d'en utiliser une de calibre
suffisamment elev6 pour assurer le transport du courant necessaire
au fonctionnement de votre appareil. Un cordon de calibre inferieur
causera une chute de tension de ligne et donc une perte de
puissance et une surchauffe. Le tableau indique le calibre approprie
a.utiliser selon la longueur du cordon et l'intensite nominale de la
plaque signaletique. En cas de doute, utiliser le calibre suivant le
plus gros. Plus le numero de calibre est petit, plus le cordon est
Iourd. Si ta raltonge est utilisee b.I'exterieur, etle dolt 6tre prevue &
cet effet. Les lettres ,_WA ,_marquees sur I'enveloppe du cordon
indiquent que le cordon convient a.un usage exterieur.
