TRIMMING
HEAVIER
GROWTH
(Figure
4) - To cut older growth, with thicker twigs, use
a little extra pressure
as you feed the blade through the growth. This clears the blade
faster and helps to feed the thicker twigs into the blade teeth. Slowly feed the shrubber
through heavy branches
using only a portion of the cutting edges. Should the shrubber
stall on these heavy pieces, stop immediately
and release the switch.
Z_ CAUTION:
Do not use the shrubber
for cutting stems greater than 5/16" (7.9mm).
Use
the shrubber
only for cutting normal shrubbery
found around houses and buildings.
MAINTENANCE
It is easy to remove sap and dirt deposits when they are fresh and moist, but difficult after
they become dry. Therefore,
it is recommended
that you wash the blades in water after each
use. Hold the BLADES
under a running faucet or in a pan of water and turn the appliance
"ON"
to help dislodge
the deposits.
Do not operate appliance
with charger attached.
(There
is no electric shock hazard from the shear's
low-voltage
power supply.) If the buildup of sap
is difficult to remove,
it may be necessary
(with the motor "OFF")
to scrub the blades with
soap and a stiff bristle brush.
After cleaning,
wipe the blades with a cloth and allow them to dry. Then, with a rag, apply a
thin film of light engine oil to the top and bottom of the blades. Do not over oil. Turn the
Appliance
"ON"
for a few seconds
to work the lubricant
between
the blades.
LUBRICATION
No periodic relubrication
of the bearings or mechanism
is required.
CLEANING
PLASTIC
PARTS
USE ONLY WARM WATER AND MILD SOAP TO CLEAN
THE PLASTIC
PARTS.

CHEMICALS
WHICH
COULD

DAMAGE

NEVER USE GASOLINE,

OR SIMILAR
PRODUCTS.
WALL
BRACKET
- SHRUBBER
COMBO
ONLY (SSC1000)
(FIGURE
12)
A wall hanging
bracket is included. To use the bracket, mount it securely
to the wall and
hang the components
as shown in figure
12. The shear / shrubber
blade is attached
by
first inserting
the tab into the opening
in the bracket and then allowing
it to hang vertically.
STORAGE
The best storage place is one that is cool and dry. Store the tool away from direct sunlight,
heating pipes and ducts, furnaces,
etc. The best storage temperature
is about +50°F
(10°C). Do not store where temperatures
go below +40°F (4°C) or above 120°F (49°C).
Avoid storage in outside metal buildings
where temperature
can exceed
120°F (49°C) in
summer.
For off-season
storage you should first recharge
the appliance
for 16 hours. Unplug the
charger from the wall socket and then disconnect
charger from the appliance.
(Fig. 1) Clean
and lightly oil the blades as described
in this manual and store the appliance
and charger
away.
BLADE
NICKS
The blades are made from high quality, heat treated steel and they will hold a sharp edge for
a long period of time. 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,
use a fine toothed
file or sharpening
stone to remove
it. A replacement
blade set is available
(Shear
Only) from your Black & Decker service center when blades become worn.
DROPPING
THE APPLIANCE
If you drop the appliance,
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 appliances
operation,
contact
your local Black & Decker Service Center for repairs before putting it
back into use.
PREVENTING
CORROSION
Fertilizers
and other garden chemicals
contain agents which greatly accelerate
the
corrosion
of metals. Do not store the appliance
on or adjacent
to fertilizers
or chemicals.
BATTERY
REMOVAL
When they reach the end of their useful life, the batteries in your appliance
will no longer
accept a charge. Before discarding
the old appliance,
the nickel cadmium
batteries
must be
removed
and recycled
or disposed
of properly. Cadmium
is a highly toxic form of waste and
is extremely
harmful to the environment.
Before attempting
to disassemble
this appliance,
turn it on and run it until it stops to ensure
a complete
discharge
of the batteries.
Using a straight screwdriver,
remove the rear product housing
as shown in figure
11 and
remove it from the end of the appliance.
Lift the batteries out.The terminal
clips are quick
connect type and have a tab lock. Depress the tab to separate
or pull the connector
apart
with a snap. Recycle battery as per the "RBRC"
section below.

THE RBRC
TM
SEAL
The RBRC
TM
(Rechargeable
Battery Recycling
Corporation)
seal on the nickel-
cadmium
battery (or battery pack) indicates that the costs to recycle the battery
(or battery
pack) at the end of its useful life have already
been paid by Black & Decker. In some areas,
it is illegal to place spent nickel-cadmium
batteries
in the trash or municipal
solid waste
stream and the RBRC program
provides
an environmentally
conscious
alternative.
RBRC in
cooperation
with Black & Decker and other battery users, has established
programs
in the
United States and Canada
to facilitate the collection
of spent nickel-cadmium
batteries.
Help
protect our environment
and conserve
natural resources
by returning
the spent
nickel-cadmium
battery to an authorized
Black & Decker service center or to your local
retailer for recycling.
You may also contact your local recycling
center for information
on
where to drop off the spent battery, or call 1-800-8-BATTERY.

TRIMMING
INSTRUCTIONS
(SHEAR,
CAT#GS700
& SSC1000)
(FIGURES
5, 6 AND 7)
1. Be sure that you have read carefully
the safety rules. Use shear only for trimming
grass
and weeds.
2.
For the best results you should trim only on a dry day, but water or moisture
in the grass
or on the ground does not create
an electric
shock hazard with this tool. Just be sure not
to cut through
any electric
cords which may be in the area.
3.
Keep your other hand well away from the blade, and maintain
a stable working
position
so that you don't slip. Don't overreach.
4.
Feed the blade into the grass at a rate that allows
it to keep up cutting
speed. Feed
slower if the blade slows down. Watch out for foreign
objects
in the grass.

TRIMMING
NEW GROWTH
(Figure
3) - 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.
One sweep will usually cut all twigs in the
blade's path.
