KEY INFORMATION YOU SHOULD KNOW:
The guard must be installed before trimming or edging - if not, the motor will overheat.
When replacing the line, use only .080 inch diameter ROUND line (B&D Model #SF-080 is recommended)
- otherwise the appliance will not function properly.
Do not bump the feed head against the ground - it will disrupt the automatic feed mechanism.
