Type: Black & Decker 1005959-00 Edge Guide – Genuine OEM Replacement String Trimmer Edging Guide
The Black & Decker 1005959-00 Edge Guide is a genuine OEM replacement edging guide designed for compatible Black & Decker string trimmers and trimmer/edgers. This durable guide attaches to the lower trimmer housing and serves two important functions: it helps create straight, consistent edges along sidewalks and driveways when lowered, and it acts as a plant guard to help protect flowers, shrubs, and trees from accidental contact with the rotating trimmer line. When not needed, the guide simply pivots upward and out of the way. Manufactured to original equipment specifications, it provides a direct-fit replacement for broken, worn, or missing edge guides.

Function of the Edge Guide
The 1005959-00 Edge Guide is designed to:
- Guide the trimmer while edging sidewalks and driveways
- Help create straighter, cleaner lawn edges
- Protect flowers, shrubs, and trees from accidental line contact
- Fold out of the way during normal trimming
- Restore the trimmer's original edging capability
- Improve control during edging applications
Using a genuine OEM replacement edge guide helps maintain precise edging performance while reducing the risk of damaging landscaping.
Common Signs Replacement Is Needed
Replace the edge guide if you notice:
- Broken or cracked guide
- Guide no longer snaps into position
- Missing edge guide
- Excessive wear from ground contact
- Difficulty maintaining straight edging
- Loose or damaged mounting tabs
A damaged or missing edge guide can reduce edging accuracy and increase the likelihood of damaging nearby plants or landscape features.
Installation & Service Notes
Disconnect the trimmer from its power source or remove the battery before servicing.
Remove any damaged edge guide from the lower housing by compressing the retaining tabs if necessary. Inspect the mounting slots for dirt or damage, then align the new 1005959-00 Edge Guide with the housing openings and press it firmly into place until it snaps securely into position. Verify that the guide pivots smoothly between the raised trimming position and the lowered edging position before returning the trimmer to service. Installation typically requires no special tools and can be completed in less than one minute.
Important: Always verify your trimmer model and original part number before ordering. Inspect the guard assembly and mounting points whenever replacing the edge guide. Use genuine OEM Black & Decker replacement parts to maintain factory fit, dependable edging performance, and protection for surrounding landscaping.
Maintenance Recommendations
- Keep the edge guide clean and free of grass buildup.
- Inspect the pivot and retaining tabs regularly for wear.
- Raise the guide during normal trimming when edging is not required.
- Replace cracked or loose guides promptly.
- Clean the lower guard after each use to prevent debris buildup.
- Use genuine OEM replacement parts to maintain factory fit, reliable edging performance, and long-term string trimmer durability.
