Trimmer GL550/GL555/GL560 Congratulations! Safety instructions Your purchase of this Black & Decker Reflex® grass trimmer and lawn edger assures you of years of problem free trimming. The Reflex® not only trims grass and edges the lawn, it also has a unique totally automatic line feed system. You do nothing - the Reflex® system means non-stop trimming; by the use of a simple mechanism it senses when the line has worn and, when needed, automatically feeds out line to its optimum cutting length.
• ENGLISH Under no circumstances should you attempt to stop the cutting line, always allow it to stop on its own. Never fit metal cutting line. Using your machine • Always use your machine in the manner outlined in this manual. Your machine is designed to be used in an upright position and if it is used in any other way an injury may result. • Before using your machine, disconnect it from the electrical supply and visually inspect the rotating parts for damage.
• Warning! Never connect Live or Neutral wires to Earth pin marked ‘E’ or . Fuse replacement (UK only) Your machine is supplied with cable fitted with a non-wireable plug. • The plug is fitted with a 5 amp fuse which is the recommended fuse for your machine. • Only use replacement fuses which are approved to BS1362. • When changing the fuse in your plug, always ensure the fuse cover is refitted. If the fuse cover is missing or damaged do not use the plug.
I J K Edging Best results are achieved on edges greater than 50mm deep. Note: Your trimmer is a maintenance tool for trimming overhanging grass and should not be used to create edges. Edges can be created using an edging spade. With the skid (25) on the grass edge and the edge guide (9) hooked over the edge, pull the unit along while keeping the edge guide in contact with the lawn edge. A closer cut can be achieved by angling the trimmer.
• • • • Bend the cutting line over, pulling it through the adjacent ‘L’ shaped slot. The cutting line should now be firmly anchored to the spool and you may proceed to wind it on in the direction of the arrows (16). Take time to wind the cutting line on neatly, in layers. Do not criss cross. When you have wound on sufficient cutting line, temporarily park it in one of the ‘L’ shaped slots to prevent the spool unravelling, ensuring you leave a minimum of 9cm (3.5") protruding.
