Troubleshooting PROBLEM Trimmer runs slowly. EASYFEEDTM does not feed more line. SOLUTION • Remove battery from trimmer. • Check that the spool housing can rotate freely. Carefully clean it if necessary. • Check that the cutting line does not protrude more than approximately 4-13/16 inches (122mm) from the spool. If it does, cut it off so that it just reaches the line trimmingblade. • 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 U. 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. • Pull the cutting line until it protrudes approximately 4-13/16 inches (122mm) from the spool. If insufficient cutting line is left on the spool, install a new spool of cutting line. • Align the tabs on the spool cap with the cut outs in the housing. • Push the spool cap onto the housing until it snaps securely into place. • If the cutting line protrudes beyond the trimming blade, cut it off so that it just reaches the blade. If the automatic line feed still does not work or the spool is jammed, try the following suggestions: • Carefully clean the spool and housing. • Make sure you are using correct line size and diameter (0.065 inch (1.65 mm)) - smaller and larger line sizes will affect the functionality of the auto feed system. • Remove the spool and check if the lever in the spool housing can move freely. • Remove the spool and unwind the cutting line, then wind it on neatly again. Replace the spool into the housing. Overfeeding • Ensure you are cutting with the tip of the line (7 inches (177.8mm) from the spool). Use the edge guide if needed to ensure proper space is maintained. • Ensure you are not exceeding a 10° angle as shown in Figure J1. Line unravels when cap or spool is removed. • Make sure to park the lines in holding slots (figure S) before removing. Imported by Black & Decker (U.S.) Inc., 701 E. Joppa Rd.
