• Remove any remaining cutting line
from the spool.
• First wind new line onto the uppermost
part of 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 N).
• When the wound cutting line reaches
the recesses (j), cut the
line. (figure O).
• Temporarily park the line in
the holding slots (k) on one
side of the spool as shown
in the inset in figure O.
• Repeat the above
procedure for the second
cutting line on the lower
section of the spool.
• Fit the spool onto the tool
as described 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).
• Take the new spool and
push it onto the boss (f)
(figure M) in the housing.
Rotate the spool slightly until it
is seated.
• Unfasten the end of one of
the cutting lines and guide the
line into one of the eyelets (g).
figure M. The line should
protrude approximately 5-3/8
inches (136mm) from the
housing.
• Unfasten the end of the
other cutting line and guide
the line into the other eyelet.
The line should protrude
approximately 5-3/8 inches
(136mm) from the housing.
• Align the tabs on the spool cap (a) with the slots (h) in the housing
(figure L).
• Push the cap onto the housing until it snaps securely into place.
NOTICE: To avoid tool damage, if the cutting lines protrude
beyond the trimming blade (i), cut them off so that they just reach
the blade (figure L).
REWINDING SPOOL FROM BULK LINE
(USE ONLY .065 IN. ROUND DIAMETER LINE) (FIGURES N &O)
Bulk line is also available for purchase from your local retailer.

tangled more frequently than Black & Decker factory wound spools.
For best results, factory wound spools are recommended.
