What to do if the automatic line feed does not feed line on my Black + Decker Trimmer?
- M
  Marie WellsJul 28, 2025
  If the automatic line feed on your Black + Decker Trimmer isn't working, several factors could be the cause. Line feed is more active when the line shortens to approximately 76 mm, so let the line wear down to this length to test it. Remove the spool cap and spool to check if the line is tangled. If tangled, unwind and rewind it neatly. Inspect the spool for damage and replace it if necessary. Ensure the cutting line protrudes about 122 mm from the spool. If there's insufficient line, install a new spool. Also, make sure you're using the correct line size (2.00 mm). Clean the spool and housing, and check if the lever in the spool housing moves freely. Replace the spool into the housing.

  To prevent overfeeding with your Black + Decker Trimmer, ensure you're cutting with the tip of the line 177 mm from the spool. If necessary, use the edge guide to maintain the proper space and avoid exceeding a 10º angle.

Why is my Black + Decker Trimmer running slowly?
- M
  Mandy McguireAug 19, 2025
  If your Black + Decker Trimmer is running slowly, remove the battery and check if the spool housing can rotate freely. Clean the spool housing if needed. Also, ensure 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.
