Troubleshooting; Protecting The Environment - Black & Decker GTC18452PC Instructions Manual

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 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 Ser-
vice Center for repairs before putting it back into use. Fertiliz-
ers 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.
