Black and decker blower cord smokes when pluged in and trigger is pulled

Sounds like you have air in the system somewhere. When the same symptoms happened to me, I learned upon inspection that I'd inadvertently burnt a hole in the hose.

Return it to the retailer for service. it presumably has a warranty that the supplier is obliged to honour. As long as they do not argue that you were somehow not using the device in the manner it was intended you should have no problems. The retailer should, in any case, contact the manufacturer for authorisation to repair or replace.

Black & Decker Motors do spark when running, it that what you see.

Sounds like a design fault, return it.

1. There is probably a hook type affair on the back of the trimmer that you are supposed to route the extension through to keep the plug from falling out.
2. I would never do what I am going to tell you for safety reasons. It is possible to get a piece of cord, a tie wrap or a hose clamp, adjust it to fit over the trigger and around the handle so that when you pull the trigger, you slip this tight fitting device over it and it keeps it held in tightly enough so you don't have to keep your hand on it. Be advised that this is dangerous in that if you drop the trimmer or hit the electric cord, the trimmer will continue to run uncontrollably until you can get to the power, slip the device off of the trigger or the trimmer cuts the electric cord.
It can be done, but as you can see, it can be very dangerous. These things can amputate fingers.

I suspect that the drill trigger has malfunctioned. I had a variable speed drill that the trigger went, and the replacement from Black and Decker cost more than the drill was worth.

Time to crack it open and have a look at the brushes at the back of the motor, they may be worn down to nothing or contaminated with something that spilled on the drill.

I would contact the nearest service center and buy some new brushes for they are very inexpensive.

Cheers,

Take the spark plug out and see if you can see the piston. If it is near the plug hole, carefully try to push it back in with something that will not scratch the piston. (pen, pencil, etc.) If it doesn't move, then your engine may be siezed.

Black and Decker has issued a recall notice for Type 1 BV4000 because "a loose connection between the unit and an extension cord can create heat, posing a possible fire hazard" Says to STOP USING and call 1-866-853-2138 to arrange for free repair. (Found info by Googling "Black and Decker Leafhog", navigate to Black and Decker website and click "Important Safety Recalls" button at bottom of page.)

We have a Black and Decker CST 1000 and other than the convenience of no cord, it constantly has problems. Won't hold a charge, spool holder cap broke and we can't find the part, handle cracked and finally broke. We have a black and decker blower and it won't turn off either. Fortunately it's corded so we can just unplug it. No more Black and Decker for us.
