Charging procedure (STC5433PC unit only)
BLACK+DECKER chargers are designed to charge
BLACK+DECKER battery packs.
u Plug the charger (16) into an appropriate outlet before
inserting the battery pack (15).
u Insert the battery pack (15) into the charger (16) as shown
in figure A.
u The green LED (16a) will flash indicating that the battery is
being charged.
u The completion of charge is indicated by the green LED
(16a) remaining on continuously. The pack is fully charged
and may be used at this time or left on the charger.
Note: Recharge discharged batteries as soon as possible
after use or battery life may be greatly diminished. For longest
battery life, do not discharge batteries fully.
It is recommended that the batteries be recharged after each
use.
Leaving the battery in the charger
The charger (16) and battery pack (15) can be left connected
with the LED glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the
battery pack fresh and fully charged.
If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack
and charger to your local service center.
u The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to
produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily done
previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these
conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may also
charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with no
adverse affect on the battery pack.
u Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but
not limited to, steel wool, aluminium foil, or any buildup
of metallic particles should be kept away from charger
cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power supply
when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug charger
before attempting to clean.
u Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any other
liquid.
Warning! Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger. Never
attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic
housing of the battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a
service center for recycling.
u
State of charge indicator (Fig.B)
The battery is equipped with a state of charge indicator.
This can be used to display the current level of charge in the
battery during use and during charging. It does not indicate
tool functionality and is subject to variation based on product
components, temperature and end-user application.
Checking state of charge during use
Press the state of charge indicator button (B1).
The three LEDs (B2) will illuminate, indicating the percent
of charge in the battery. See chart in figure B.
u If LED light does not illuminate, charge battery.
u
Important charging notes
Longest life and best performance can be obtained if
the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is
between 65°F and 75°F (18°- 24°C). DO NOT charge the
battery pack in an air temperature below +40°F (+4.5°C),
or above +105°F (+40.5°C). This is important and will
prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
u The charger and battery pack may become warm to touch
while charging. This is a normal condition, and does not
indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of the battery
pack after use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack
in a warm environment such as in a metal shed, or an
uninsulated trailer.
u If the battery pack does not charge properly:
u Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or
other appliance.
u Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch
which turns power off when you turn out the lights.
u Move charger and battery pack to a location where the
surrounding air temperature is approximately 65°F
- 75°F (18°- 24°C).
u

u
Charger Diagnostics (Fig.E)
Refer to the indicators in figure E for the charge status of the
battery pack.
Bad Battery
If you see a bad battery blink pattern, do not continue
to charge this battery. Return it to a service center or a
collection site for recycling.
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery pack that is too hot
or too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay,
suspending charging until the battery pack has reached an
appropriate temperature. The charger then automatically
switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures
maximum battery pack life. A cold battery pack will charge at a
slower rate than a warm battery pack. The pack will charge at
that slower rate throughout the entire charging cycle and will
not return to maximum charge rate even if the pack warms.
(Original instructions)
Installing and removing the battery pack from the
tool
Warning! Make certain the lock-off button (2) is engaged to
prevent switch actuation before removing or installing battery.
To install battery pack Fig. C)

u Using the edge guide (12), guide the trimmer as shown
in figure P.
u Position the edge guide on the edge of the sidewalk or
abrasive surface so the cutting line is over the grass or
dirt area to be edged.
u To make a closer cut, slightly tilt the trimmer.
u
u
Operation
Warning! To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
turn unit off and remove the battery pack before making
any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or
accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Warning! Always use proper eye protection.
Caution: Before you begin trimming, only use the appropriate
type of cutting line - 2.0mm diameter, ROUND nylon line.
Caution: Inspect area to be trimmed and
remove any wire, cord, or string-like objects which could
become entangled in the rotating line or spool. Be particularly
careful to avoid any wire which might be bent outwardly into
the path of the appliance, such as barbs at the base of a chain
link fence.
Proper hand position
Warning! To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
ALWAYS use proper hand position as shown in figure O.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the main handle
(3) and one hand on the auxiliary handle ( 6 ).
Warning! To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of a sudden reaction.
Switching on and off
u To switch the trimmer on, press in and hold the lock
off button (2), depress the variable speed trigger (1).
The trimmer’s speed, power, and runtime depend on
how far you press the switch. Lightly depressing the
trigger will result in lower speed and power, but longer
runtime. Fully depressing the trigger will result in
maximum speed and power, but shorter runtime.
u To switch the trimmer off, release both the trigger and
the lock off button.
Warning! Never attempt to lock the on/off button in the on
position.
Operating the trimmer
u With the unit on, angle unit and slowly swing the
trimmer side to side as shown in figure N.
u Maintain a cutting angle of 5° to 10°.
11
ENGLISH
(Original instructions)
Do not exceed 10°.
Cut with the tip of the line. To keep distance from hard
surfaces use edge guide (12 ). Pull the guide out until it
snaps securely into place
u Maintain a minimum distance of 24 inches (60cm)
between the guard and your feet as shown in figure O.
POWERCOMMAND Fig.Q)
The POWERCOMMAND feature allows you to advance the
length of cutting line available while trimming.
u To extend the cutting line, fully depress the
POWERCOMMAND button ( 4 ) while trimming and then
release (figure Q).
Note: The trimmer will stop cutting when the
POWERCOMMAND button is pressed and will resume cutting
when released.
u For maximum line length, press the button multiple
times until you hear the cutting line hitting the guard.
Note: Do not continue to press the POWERCOMMAND
button once the maximum length is reached. This will result in
overfeeding and will consume string quickly.
Speed control & runtime extension modes
This string trimmer gives you the choice to operate at a
more efficient speed to extend the runtime for larger jobs, or
accelerate the trimmer speed for high-performance
cutting (figure R).
u To extend runtime, pull the speed-control switch ( 5 )
back toward the battery ( 15 ) into position #1. This mode
is best for larger projects that require more time to
complete.
u To accelerate the trimmer, push the speed-control
switch forward toward the motor housing ( 11 ) into
position #2. This mode is best to cut through heavier
growth and for applications that need higher RPM.
Note: When in acceleration mode (#2), runtime will be
decreased as compared to when trimmer is in extended
runtime mode (#1).
Helpful cutting tips
Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force
string head into uncut grass.
Use edge guide along such
things as fences, houses and flower beds for best
practices.
u Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even
breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may
wear string rapidly.
u Do not allow spool cap to drag on ground or other
surfaces.
u In long growth cut from the top down and do not exceed
300 mm high.
u
12
Keep trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the
best cutting area.
u The trimmer cuts when passing the unit from the right to
left. This will avoid throwing debris at the operator.
u Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding,
and fence posts can easily be damaged by the string.
u
Cutting line / line feeding
Your trimmer uses 2.0mm diameter, DUAL ROUND nylon
line. During use, the tips of the nylon lines will become frayed
and worn. Press the POWERCOMMAND button (4) for a
fresh length of line. Cutting line will wear faster and require
more feeding if the cutting or edging is done along sidewalks
or other abrasive surfaces or heavier weeds are being cut.
The POWERCOMMAND feeding mechanism feeds and trims
the correct length of line. DO NOT BUMP unit on ground in
attempt to feed line or for any other purposes.
Replacing the spool
Warning! Remove the battery from the trimmer before making
any assembly, adjustments or changing accessories. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
appliance accidentally. From time to time, especially when
cutting thick or stalky weeds, the line feeding hub may
become clogged with sap or other material and the line will
become jammed as a result. To clear the jam, follow the steps
listed below.
u Remove the battery from the trimmer.
u Press the release tabs (30) on the line spool cap (31),
as shown in figure S and remove the cap by pulling it
straight off.
u Pull the spool (32) out of the spool cap and clear any
broken line or cutting debris from the spool area.
u Before placing a new spool, "park" the cutting line ( 33 )
in the holding slots ( 34 ).
u Feed the end of each line through the two holes ( 35 ) on
either side of the the spool cap ( 31 ) as shown in figure T
u Slide the spool back into the spool cap. Take care to
keep the line from becoming trapped under the spool.
u Pull slack line through until it pulls out of the holding
slots.
u Align the tabs on the spool cap with the slots in the
housing (figure S).
 Push the cap onto the housing until it snaps securely
into place.
Note: Make sure that cap is fully positioned, listen for two
audible clicks to ensure both lugs are correctly located.
Power the appliance on. In a few seconds or less you’ll hear
the nylon line being cut automatically to the proper length.
Caution: To avoid appliance damage, if the cutting line
protrudes beyond the trimming blade, cut it off so that it just
reaches the blade.

Carefully clean the spool and housing.
Make sure you are using correct line size and
diameter (2.00 mm) - smaller and larger line sizes
will affect the functionality of the auto feed system.
Remove the spool and check if the lever in the
spool housing can move freely.
Remove the spool and unwind the cutting line,
then wind it on neatly again. Replace the spool into
the housing.
Maintenance
Your BLACK+DECKER corded/cordless appliance/tool has
been designed to operate over a long period of time with a
minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation
depends upon proper tool/appliance care and regular
cleaning.
Your charger does not require any maintenance apart from
regular cleaning.
ENGLISH
Overfeeding
Ensure you are cutting with the tip of the line
177mm from the spool. Use the edge guide if
needed to ensure proper space is maintained.
Ensure you are not exceeding a 10º angle as
shown in (Fig.M). Avoid contact of the line with hard
surfaces such as brick, concrete, wood etc. This
will prevent excessive wear and/or overfeed of line.
Cut with the tip of the line
Line unravels when
cap or spool is
removed
Make sure to park the lines in holding slots (Figure
R) before removing.
