l’outil en s’éloignant de tout objet comme un mur, des marches, une grosse roche ou un
arbre. Prendre garde lorsqu’on coupe près d’un tel objet et, le cas échéant, tailler la bordure
à la main.

ÉVITER LES DÉMARRAGES ACCIDENTELS. – Ne pas transporter l’outil branché avec le

doigt sur l’interrupteur.

NE JAMAIS FORCER L’OUTIL. Afin d’obtenir un rendement sûr et efficace, utiliser l’outil à

son rendement nominal.

UTILISER L’OUTIL APPROPRIÉ. – Utiliser l’outil seulement aux fins pour lesquelles il a été

conçu.

NE PAS DÉPASSER SA PORTÉE. – Toujours demeurer dans une position stable et garder

son équilibre.

NE PAS MANIPULER LE CORDON DE FAÇON ABUSIVE. Ne pas tirer sur le cordon pour

le débrancher de la prise. Éloigner le cordon des sources de chaleur, des flaques d’huile et
des arêtes tranchantes.

immédiatement hors tension, en vérifier l’état et le faire réparer au besoin avant de le
réutiliser. Ne pas se servir de l’outil lorsque la bobine ou le moyeu sont brisés.

CORDON ENDOMMAGÉ - Éloigner le cordon du fil en mouvement. En cas de dommage au

fil, le débrancher de la source d’alimentation avant de vérifier l’outil et l’étendue des
dommages. Il faut remplacer un cordon endommagé avant d’utiliser de nouveau l’outil.

DÉBRANCHER L’OUTIL - Lorsqu’il ne sert pas, et avant d’en remplacer le fil ou de le nettoyer.
• ÉVITER LES CONDITIONS AMBIANTES DANGEREUSES. – Ne pas se servir d’outils

électriques dans des endroits humides ou mouillés. Respecter toutes les consignes du
présent guide relatives au bon fonctionnement de l’outil. Ne pas se servir de l’outil sous la pluie.

NE PAS UTILISER des outils électriques portatifs dans des endroits renfermant des vapeurs

inflammables ou explosives. Les étincelles que produit le moteur en marche pourraient
enflammer ces produits.

RANGER LES OUTILS INUTILISÉS À L’INTÉRIEUR dans un endroit sec, fermé à clé, hors

de la portée des enfants.

DISJONCTEUR DE FUITE À LA TERRE - Il faut munir tous les circuits ou toutes les prises

qui pourraient servir aux outils de jardinage de tels dispositifs. On peut se procurer et
installer des prises pourvues de tels disjoncteurs intégrés.

FIXER LE CORDON DE RALLONGE à l’aide de l’attache-cordon illustré aux figures 4 et 5.
DEMEURER VIGILANT. Travailler avec vigilance et faire preuve de bon sens. Ne pas se

servir de l’outil lorsqu’on est fatigué.

PRENDRE SOIN DES OUTILS. Respecter les consignes relatives à la lubrification et au

remplacement des accessoires. Inspecter régulièrement les cordons de rallonge et les
remplacer lorsqu’ils sont endommagés. S’assurer que les poignées sont toujours
propres, sèches et libres de toute tache d’huile ou de graisse.

VÉRIFIER LES PIÈCES ENDOMMAGÉES. Avant de continuer à utiliser l’outil, il faut vérifier si

le protecteur ou toute autre pièce endommagée remplit bien la fonction pour laquelle il a été
prévu. Vérifier l’alignement et les attaches des pièces mobiles, le degré d’usure des pièces et
leur montage, ainsi que tout autre facteur susceptible de nuire au bon fonctionnement de l’outil.
Faire réparer ou remplacer tout protecteur ou toute autre pièce endommagée dans un centre de
service autorisé, sauf indication contraire dans le présent guide.

AVERTISSEMENT :

Lors de l’entretien d’outils à double isolation, UTILISER SEULEMENT
DES PIÈCES DE RECHANGE IDENTIQUES. Réparer ou remplacer
les cordons endommagés

.

AVERTISSEMENT :

Afin de prévenir les risques de secousses électriques, utiliser seulement un
cordon de rallonge prévu pour l’extérieur. Toujours brancher la rallonge
dans un prise pourvue d’un fusible ou protégée par un disjoncteur.

L’outil est muni d’une fiche polarisée (une lame plus large que l’autre) afin de minimiser les risques de
secousses électriques. Puisque l’outil doit être utilisé avec une rallonge, s’assurer que la rallonge est
polarisée. La fiche de l’outil n’entre que d’une façon dans une prise polarisée d’une rallonge. Lorsqu’on
ne peut insérer la fiche à fond dans la prise, il faut tenter de le faire après avoir inversé les lames de côté.
Si la fiche n’entre toujours pas dans la prise, il faut se procurer une rallonge polarisée. La rallonge
polarisée doit être branchée dans une prise polarisée. La fiche de la rallonge polarisée n’entre que d’une
façon dans une prise polarisée. Lorsqu’on ne peut insérer la fiche à fond dans la prise, il faut tenter de
le faire après avoir inversé les lames de côté. Si la fiche n’entre toujours pas dans la prise, il faut
communiquer avec un électricien certifié. Il ne faut en aucun cas neutraliser la fiche de l’outil, la prise
de la rallonge ni la fiche de la rallonge.

S’assurer que le cordon de rallonge est en bon état. Lorsqu’on se sert d’un cordon de rallonge,
s’assurer qu’il est de calibre approprié pour la tension nécessaire au fonctionnement de l’outil.
L’utilisation d’un cordon de calibre inférieur occasionne une baisse de tension entraînant une perte de
puissance et la surchauffe. Le tableau indique le calibre approprié selon la longueur du cordon et les
mentions de la plaque signalétique de l’outil. En cas de doute, utiliser un cordon de calibre supérieur.
Le chiffre indiquant le calibre est inversement proportionnel au calibre du cordon. Lorsque le cordon de
rallonge est utilisé à l’extérieur, il doit être prévu à cet effet. Les lettres «WA» sur la gaine du cordon
indiquent que celui-ci peut servir à l’extérieur.

WARNING: IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS

AND INSTRUCTIONS

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.

AVOID ACCIDENTALLY 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 all times.

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 tool 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 (GFCI) 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 Figures 4 and 5.

STAY ALERT – Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate tool when

you are tired.

MAINTAIN APPLIANCES WITH CARE – Follow instructions for lubricating and

changing accessories. 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.

WARNING:

When servicing double insulated tools, USE ONLY IDENTICAL
REPLACEMENT PARTS. Replace or repair damaged cords.

WARNING:

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.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other) and will 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 wall 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.

Cutting Line

LINE FEEDING

Your trimmer uses .065” (1.65 mm) diameter nylon line to cut grass and weeds quickly
and easily. In time, the tip of the nylon line will become frayed and worn and the
special self feeding line hub will automatically feed and trim a fresh length of line.
Of course cutting line will wear faster and require more feeding if the cutting 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 its required. You don’t
even have to think about it. Do not bump unit on ground in attempt to feed line or for
any other purposes.

CLEARING JAMS AND TANGLED LINES

From time to time, especially when cutting thick or stalky weeds, the line feeding hub
may become clogged with sap or other material and the line will become jammed as a
result. To clear the jam, follow the steps listed below.

1. Unplug the trimmer.
2. Press the release tabs on the line hub cover, as shown in Figure 11 and remove the

cover by pulling it straight off.

3. Lift the spool of nylon line out of the hub and clear any broken line or cutting debris

from the spool area. (If you plan to replace the spool or rewind it, this is the place to do
so, otherwise, move on.)

4. Unwrap about one foot (30 cm) of line to ensure that it’s undamaged. If it is OK rewind

it and insert the line end through the eyelet in the spool hub as shown in Figure 12.
Pull the line through the hole to maintain tension while placing the spool down into the
hub with the arrow up, as shown in Figure 13.

5. Press the spool down GENTLY and rotate it until you feel it drop into place. (When in

place, the spool will turn a few degrees left and right freely). Take care to keep the line
from becoming trapped under the spool.

6. Snap the hub cover back on, and turn the tool on. In a few seconds or less you’ll hear

the nylon line being cut automatically to the proper length.

REWINDING SPOOL FROM BULK LINE

Bulk line for your trimmer/edger is available at extra cost from your local dealer
or Black & Decker Service Center. To install bulk line, follow the steps below.

1. Perform steps 1 and 2 above.
2. Remove the spool from the tool and remove and discard all line on the spool.
3. Insert one end of the bulk line into the hole in the spool shown in Figure 14 about 1/2”

(12 mm).

4. Hold the line in the hole and pull the rest of the line through the slot in the spool,

shown in Figure 14.

5. Snugly and evenly wind the bulk line onto the spool in the direction of the arrow in

Figure 14 until the line builds up to the notches in the spool rim. Do not overfill spool.
The spool holds 30 feet (10 m) of line.

6. Insert the line end through the eyelet in the spool hub, as shown in Figure 12. Pull the

line through the hole to maintain tension while placing the spool down into the hub with
the arrow up, as shown in Figure 13.

7. Press the spool down GENTLY and rotate it until you feel it drop into place. (When in

place, the spool will turn a few degrees left and right freely). Take care to keep the line
from becoming trapped under the spool.

8. Snap the hub cover back on, and turn the tool on. In a few seconds or less you’ll hear

the nylon line being cut automatically to the proper length.

Be sure the tool is unplugged.
1. Keep the air intake slots (Figure 15) clean to avoid overheating.
2. Plastic parts may be cleaned by using a mild soap and a damp rag.
3. If you trim or edge in areas where fertilizers or other corrosive chemicals have been

used, the tool should be cleaned immediately after use.

4. DO NOT immerse tool in water or squirt it with a hose. DO NOT allow any liquid to get

inside it.

5. Do not store the tool on or adjacent to fertilizers or chemicals.
6. DO NOT clean with a pressure washer.
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.

Accessories

Use Black & Decker replacement spool No. AF-100.
Reload nylon line (either bulk or prewrapped replacement spool) as shown in this manual.

USE ONLY .065” (1.65 mm) DIAMETER NYLON MONOFILAMENT LINE. Heavier line
will overload the motor and cause overheating. This line is available at your local
dealer or authorized service center.

• Do not use fishing line or other lines that are recommended.

WARNING: The use of any accessory not recommended for use with this too

could be hazardous.
