Charging the battery (Fig. A)
The battery needs to be charged before rst use and
whenever it fails to produce sufcient power on jobs that were
easily done before.
The battery may become warm while charging; this is normal
and does not indicate a problem.
Warning! Do not charge the battery at ambient temperatures
below 10 °C or above 40 °C. Recommended charging
temperature: approx. 24 °C.
Note: The charger will not charge a battery if the cell
temperature is below approximately 10 °C or above 40 °C.
The battery should be left in the charger and the charger
will begin to charge automatically when the cell temperature
warms up or cools down.

10
ENGLISH
When the charger detects a battery that is excessively
hot or excessively cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold
Pack delay, suspending charging until the battery has
normalised. After this happens, the charger automatically
switches to the Pack Charging mode. This feature ensures
maximum battery life. The red LED ashes in the pattern
indicated on the label when the Hot/Cold pack delay is
detected.
Leaving the battery in the charger
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the
LED glowing indenitely. The charger will keep the battery
pack fresh and fully charged.
Important charging notes
u Longest life and best performance can be obtained if
the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is
between 65°F and 75°F (18°- 24°C). DO NOT charge the
battery pack in an air temperature below +40°F (+4.5°C),
or above +105°F (+40.5°C). This is important and will
prevent serious damage to the battery pack .
u The charger and battery pack may become warm to touch
while charging. This is a normal condition, and does not
indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of the battery
pack after use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack
in a warm environment such as in a metal shed, or an
uninsulated trailer
u If the battery pack does not charge properly:
u Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or
other appliance
uCheck to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch
which turns power off when you turn out the lights.
u Move charger and battery pack to a location where the
surrounding air temperature is approximately 65°F
- 75°F (18°- 24°C).
uIf charging problems persist, take the appliance, battery
pack and charger to your local service center.
u The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to
produce sufcient power on jobs which were easily done
previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these
conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may also
charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with no
adverse affect on the battery pack.
u Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but
not limited to, steel wool, aluminium foil, or any buildup
of metallic particles should be kept away from charger
cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power supply
when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug charger
before attempting to clean.
u Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any other liquid.
Warning! Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside

In transit, the cutting line is taped to the spool housing.
u Remove the tape holding the cutting line to the spool
housing.
Operation
Warning! Always use proper eye protection.
Warning! Before you begin trimming, only use the appropriate
type of cutting line.
Note: Inspect area to be trimmed and remove any wire, cord,
or string-like objects which could become entangled in the
rotating line or spool. Be particularly careful to avoid any wire
which might be bent outwardly into the path of the appliance,
such as barbs at the base of a chain link fence.
Switching on and off
u To switch the appliance on, push the lock-off button (2),
and squeeze the trigger (1).
u To switch the appliance off, release the trigger.
Operating the trimmer (Fig. I, J–J3)

POWERCOMMAND button is pressed and will resume cutting
when released.
u For maximum line length, press the button multiple times
until you hear the cutting line hitting the guard.
Note: Do not continue to press the POWERCOMMAND
button once the maximum length is reached. This will result in
overfeeding and will consume string quickly.
Convert to edging mode (Fig. L, M)
Warning! The wheeled edge guide should only be used when
in the edging mode.
The trimmer can be used in trimming mode or edging mode to
trim overhanging grass along lawn edges and ower beds. For
edging, the trimmer head should be in the position shown in
Figure M. If it is not:
uRemove the battery from the trimmer.
uGrasp the ip-to-edge collar (8) and push down as
shown in part 1 of Figure L.
uRotate the ip-to-edge collar 180° counterclockwise as
shown in part 2, until the handle snaps back into the
upper half of the trimmer.
uTo return to trimming position, pull the ip-to-edge collar
down and rotate the head clockwise back to its original
position.
Note: You will experience faster than normal cutting line wear
if the trimmer line is positioned directly over the sidewalk or
abrasive surface.
Edging (Fig. M)
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 trimmer and guard are designed to reduce the
danger. However, MAKE SURE that other persons and pets
are at least 30 m away. Optimum cutting results are achieved
on edges deeper than 50 mm.
u Do not use this trimmer to create trenches.
u Using the edging wheel (10), guide the trimmer as shown
in Figure M.
u Position the edging wheel on the edge of the sidewalk or
abrasive surface so the cutting line is over the grass or dirt
area to be edged.
u To make a closer cut, slightly tilt the trimmer.
Speed control & runtime extension mode (Fig. N)
This string trimmer gives you the choice to operate at a
more efcient speed to extend the runtime for larger jobs, or
accelerate the trimmer speed for high-performance cutting

12
ENGLISH
(Figure N).
u To extend runtime, pull the speed-control switch (5) back
toward the battery (13) into position #1. This mode is best
for larger projects that require more time to complete.
u To accelerate the trimmer, push the speed-control switch
forward toward the trimmer head (9) into position #2.
This mode is best to cut through heavier growth and for
applications that need higher RPM.
Note: When in acceleration mode (#2), runtime will be
decreased as compared to when trimmer is in extended
runtime mode (#1).
Helpful cutting tips
u 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 ower beds for best
practices.
u Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even
breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may
wear string rapidly.
u Do not allow spool cap to drag on ground or other
surfaces.
u In long growth cut from the top down and do not exceed
300 mm high.
u Keep trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the
best cutting area.
u The trimmer cuts when passing the unit from the right to
left. This will avoid throwing debris at the operator.
u Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding,
and fence posts can easily be damaged by the string.
Clearing jams and tangled line (Figures O, P, Q)
Warning! Remove the battery from the trimmer before
making any assembly, adjustments or changing accessories.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the appliance accidentally. 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.
u Remove the battery from the trimmer.
u Press the release tabs (23) on the line spool cap (24),
as shown in Figure O and remove the cap by pulling it
straight off.
u Pull the nylon line spool out and clear any broken line or
cutting debris from the spool area.
u Place spool and line into spool cap with line “parked” in
slots provided as shown in Figure P1.
u Insert the line end through the appropriate hole in the
spool housing. Pull slack line through until it pulls out of
the holding slots as shown in Figure P2.
u 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).
u Take care to keep the line from becoming trapped under
the spool.
u Align the spool cap tabs with the slots on the spool
housing.
u Snap the spool cap back on as shown in Figure Q 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 appliance on. In a few seconds or less you’ll hear the
nylon line being cut automatically to the proper length.
Warning! To avoid appliance damage, if the cutting line
protrudes beyond the trimming blade, cut it off so that it just
reaches the blade.
Note: Other replacement parts (guards, spool caps, etc.) are
available through BLACK+DECKER service centers. To nd
your local service location visit www.blackanddecker.com.
Warning! The use of any accessory not recommended by

Troubleshooting
Problem Solution
Appliance runs slowly. 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 122 mm from the spool.
If it does, cut it off so that it just reaches the line
trimming blade
EASYFEEDTM does not
feed more line.
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
122mm from the spool. If insufcient 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 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
177 mm from the spool. Use the edge guide if
needed to ensure proper space is maintained.
Ensure you are not exceeding a 10º angle as
shown in (Fig. J1). Avoid contact of the line with
hard surfaces such as brick, concrete, wood etc.
This will prevent excessive wear and/or overfeed
of line. Cut with the tip of the line
Line unravels when
cap or spool is
removed
Make sure to park the lines in holding slots (Figure
P) before removing.

BAHASA INDONESIA
Peringatan! Jangan isi daya baterai pada suhu sekitar di bawah
10°C atau di atas 40°C. Suhu pengisian daya yang disarankan:
sekitar 24 °C.
Catatan: Pengisi daya tidak akan mengisi ulang baterai jika
suhu sel di bawah kurang lebih 10 °C atau di atas 40 °C.
Baterai harus dibiarkan dalam pengisi daya, dan pengisi daya
akan mulai mengisi ulang daya secara otomatis bilamana suhu
sel menghangat atau mendingin.
u Sambungkan pengisi daya pada stop kontak yang sesuai
sebelum memasukkan baterai.
u Masukkan baterai ke dalam pengisi daya.
LED hijau akan berkedip yang menunjukkan bahwa baterai
sedang diisi dayanya.
LED hijau akan menyala terus menerus sebagai indikasi
bahwa pengisian daya sudah selesai. Kemasan sudah terisi
daya penuh dan dapat digunakan sekarang, atau dibiarkan
di dalam pengisi daya
Peringatan! Isi ulang baterai yang habis sesegera setelah
digunakan atau masa pakai baterai dapat sangat berkurang.
Diagnosis pengisi daya
Pengisi daya ini dirancang untuk mendeteksi masalah tertentu
yang dapat muncul pada baterai atau sumber listrik. Adanya
masalah ditunjukkan dengan satu LED yang berkedip dengan
pola yang berbeda.
Baterai Buruk
Pengisi daya dapat mendeteksi baterai yang lemah atau
rusak. LED merah berkelip dengan pola yang ditunjukkan
pada label. Apabila pola kedipan baterai yang buruk ini
terlihat, jangan lanjutkan pengisian daya baterai. Kembalikan
baterai ke pusat layanan atau tempat pengumpulan untuk
didaur ulang
Penundaan Kemasan Panas/Dingin
Ketika pengisi daya mendeteksi baterai terlalu panas atau
terlalu dingin, secara otomatis pengisi daya akan memulai
Penundaan Kemasan Panas/Dingin, yaitu menunda
pengisian daya sampai baterai normal kembali. Setelah hal
ini terjadi, secara otomatis pengisi daya beralih ke mode
Pengisian Daya Kemasan. Fitur ini memastikan masa pakai
baterai maksimum. LED merah berkedip dengan pola yang
ditunjukkan pada label saat penundaan kemasan Panas/
Dingin terdeteksi.
Meninggalkan baterai dalam pengisi daya
Pengisi daya dan baterai dapat dibiarkan terhubung dengan
lampu LED menyala tanpa batas waktu. Pengisi daya akan
menjaga baterai tetap dalam kondisi baik dan terisi penuh.
Catatan pengisian daya penting
u Masa pakai terlama dan kinerja terbaik bisa didapatkan
jika baterai diisi daya pada saat suhu udara sekitar 65°F
dan 75°F (18°- 24°C). JANGAN mengisi daya baterai
dalam suhu udara di bawah +40°F(+4,5°C), atau di
atas +105°F (+40,5°C). Ini penting dan akan mencegah
kerusakan parah pada baterai .
u Pengisi daya dan baterai bisa menjadi hangat saat
tersentuh ketika sedang mengisi daya. Kondisi ini
normal dan tidak menunjukkan adanya masalah. Untuk
memudahkan pendinginan baterai setelah digunakan,
jangan menempatkan pengisi daya atau baterai dalam
lingkungan yang hangat seperti di gudang logam, atau
trailer yang tidak berinsulasi
u Jika baterai tidak mengisi daya dengan benar:
u Periksa arus pada stopkontak dengan mencolokkan
lampu atau peralatan lainnya
uPeriksa apakah stopkontak terhubung ke sakelar lampu
yang mematikan daya saat Anda mematikan lampu.
u Pindahkan pengisi daya dan baterai ke lokasi dengan
suhu udara sekitar antara 65°F - 75°F (18°- 24°C).
uJika masalah pengisian daya masih berlanjut, bawalah
peralatan, kemasan baterai, dan pengisi daya ke pusat
servis setempat Anda.
u Baterai harus diisi ulang saat gagal menghasilkan daya
yang cukup pada pekerjaan yang mudah dilakukan
sebelumnya. JANGAN LANJUTKAN menggunakan
dengan kondisi-kondisi berikut. Ikuti prosedur pengisian
daya. Anda juga dapat mengisi daya baterai yang
digunakan sebagian kapan pun Anda mau dengan tanpa
efek samping pada baterai.
u Benda-benda asing bersifat penghantar listrik semacam
ini dapat berupa, namun tidak terbatas pada: serat baja,
kertas alumunium, atau tumpukan partikel-partikel logam,
yang semuanya harus dijauhkan dari rongga-rongga
pengisi daya. Selalu cabut pengisi daya dari catu daya
bilamana tidak ada baterai dalam rongga. Cabut pengisi
daya sebelum membersihkannya.
u Jangan membekukan atau membenamkan pengisi daya
dalam air atau cairan lain.
Peringatan! Bahaya sengatan listrik. Jaga agar tidak ada
cairan masuk ke dalam pengisi daya. Jangan pernah berusaha
membuka baterai untuk alasan apa pun.
Jika wadah plastik baterai rusak atau retak, kembalikan ke pusat
layanan untuk didaur ulang.
