    SPOOL OR LINE REPLACEMENT (Use .080 in. diameter ROUND line only)

    1. Unplug the trimmer. Press the release tabs on the line hub cap, as shown in Figure 9

    and remove the cap by pulling it straight off.

    2. Remove the spool from the tool and remove and discard all line on the spool.

    3. Choose either OPTION 1 or OPTION 2.

    OPTION 1: ACCESSORY REPLACEMENT SPOOL

    Use Black & Decker replacement spool Model No. DF-080. Install following instructions

    under “ SPOOL OR LINE REPLACEMENT“ #1 through #6, discarding old spool for Step 3

    and using new spool in subsequent steps.

    OPTION 2: REWINDING SPOOL USING BULK LINE

    Bulk line for your trimmer/edger is available at extra cost from your local dealer or

    Black & Decker Service Center. Install following instructions under “SPOOL OR LINE

    REPLACEMENT” #1 through #6, performing the following steps for Step 3.

    (Use .080 in. diameter ROUND line only)

    a. Your line spool for this product has two (2) wind areas for line. Wind line in one area first

    and then in the other. NOTE: For best results, wind line onto the outer portion of the spool

    (side with arrows) first.

    b. Fold over nylon line about 3/4 in. (19mm) from the end to form a “hook” as shown in

    Figure 13. Insert the hooked end of the line into the slot on the inside of the spool.

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

    spool until the line builds up to the notches in the spool rim. Do not overfill spool. Repeat

    for the other wind area.

    4. Place spool and line into spool housing with lines “parked” in slots provided as shown in

    figure 10.

    5. Insert the line ends through the holes in the spool hub. Pull slack line through until it

    pulls out of the holding slots as shown in Figure 11.

    6. Press the spool down GENTLY and rotate it until you feel it drop into place and then push

    to snap 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.

    7. Snap the hub cap back on as shown in figure 12, by depressing lugs and pressing into

    spool housing. NOTE: Make sure that cover is fully positioned, listen for two audible

    clicks to ensure both lugs are correctly located. Power the tool on. In a few seconds or

    less youʼll hear the nylon line being cut automatically to the proper length.

    • For trouble free feeding and best results, only use Black & Decker replacement

    spools with dual 0.080 inch line. Black & Decker replacement spool model numbe
