TRIMMING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Working position –
Maintain proper footing and balance and do not overreach.
Wear safety goggles, non-skid footwear when trimming.
Hold the unit firmly in both hands and turn the unit ON.
Always hold the trimmer, as shown in the illustrations in
this manual, with one hand on the switch handle and one
hand on the bail handle (Fig. G). Never hold the unit by the
blade guard.
2. Trimming new growth (Fig. H) -
A wide, sweeping motion, feeding the blade teeth through
the twigs is most effective. A slight downward tilt of the
blade, in the direction of motion gives the best cutting.
Caution! Do not cut stems greater than 3/4" (19mm).
Use the trimmer only for cutting normal shrubbery around
houses and buildings.
3. Level hedges (Fig. I) -
To obtain exceptionally level hedges a piece of string can
be stretched along the length of the hedge as a guide.
4. Side trimming hedges (Fig. J) -
Hold the trimmer as shown and begin at the bottom and
sweep up.
Warning! TO GUARD AGAINST INJURY, OBSERVE
THE FOLLOWING:
f Read instruction manual before using. Save
instruction manual.
f Check the hedge for foreign objects such as wire
or fences before each use.
f Keep hands on handles. Don't overreach.
f Do not use under wet conditions.
Caution! BLADE MAY COAST AFTER TURN OFF.
Danger! KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM BLADES.
MAINTENANCE
Your BLACK+DECKER tool has been designed to operate
over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper
tool care and regular cleaning. Your charger does not
require any maintenance apart from regular cleaning.
Warning! Remove battery pack before servicing, cleaning
or removing material from the gardening appliance.
The cutting blades are made from high quality, hardened
steel and with normal usage, they will not require
resharpening. However, if you accidentally hit a wire fence
(Fig. K), stones, glass or other hard objects, you may put
a nick in the blade. There is no need to remove this nick
as long as it does not interfere with the movement of the
blade. If it does interfere, remove the battery and use a
fine toothed file or sharpening stone to remove the nick.
If you drop the trimmer, carefully inspect it for damage. If
the blade is bent, housing cracked, or handles broken or if
you see any other condition that may affect the trimmer's
operation contact your local BLACK+DECKER Service
Center for repairs before putting it back into use
Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain agents which
greatly accelerate the corrosion of metals. Do not store the
unit on or adjacent to fertilizers or chemicals. With the battery
removed, use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the
unit. Never let any liquid get inside the unit; never immerse
any part of the unit into a liquid. Prevent the blades from
rusting by applying a film of light machine oil after cleaning.
¡Important! To ensure product SAFETY and
RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustment
(other than those listed in this manual) should be performed
by authorized service centers or other qualified organizations,
always using identical replacement parts. Unit contains no
user service able parts inside.
