KEY INFORMATION YOU SHOULD KNOW:
• The guard must be installed before trimming or edging - if not, the
motor will overheat (page 7).
• When replacing the line, use only .065 inch diameter ROUND line
(B&D Model #AF-100 is recommended) - otherwise the tool will
not function properly (page 9).
• Do not bump the feed head against the ground - it will disrupt the
feed mechanism.
