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, 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 from the unit 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 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.
