Cutting Line / LINE FEEDING Your trimmer uses .065 inch (1.65 mm) diameter, ROUND nylon line. During use, the tips of the nylon lines will become frayed and worn and the special self feeding spool will automatically feed and trim a fresh length of line. Do not bump unit on ground in attempt to feed line or for any other purposes. Cutting line will wear faster and require more feeding if the cutting or edging is done along sidewalks or other abrasive surfaces or heavier weeds are being cut. replacement accessories CAUTION: Before you begin trimming, only use the appropriate type of cutting line. Use BLACK+DECKER replacement spool Model No. AF-100. Reload nylon line (either bulk or prewound replacement spool) as shown in this manual. • USE ONLY .065 inch (1.65 mm) DIAMETER ROUND NYLON MONOFILAMENT LINE.
