KEY INFORMATION YOU SHOULD KNOW:
The guard must be installed before trimming or edging - if
not, the motor will overheat (page 5).
When replacing the line, use only .065 inch diameter
ROUND line (B&D Model No. DF-065 is recommended) -
otherwise the tool will not function properly (page 8).
Do not bump the feed head against the ground - it will
disrupt the feed mechanism.
Always use the cord retention feature (page 7).
