MAINTENANCE

A vinyl sheath is supplied with your
trimmer for storing. Slip the hedge
trimmer into it, as shown in figure 8.
WARNING:
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 (figure 9),
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 trimmerʼs 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.
