Trimming Instructions (fig.B2, B3, B4, B5, B6)
Note: keep hands away from blades. Blade may coast after
turn off.
Working positions (fig B2, B3)
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 Figures B2, and B3, with one hand
on the main handle (3) and one hand on the bail handle (4) or
Pole grip (18). Never hold the unit by the guard (16) or hedge
trimmer blade (15).
Trimming new growth (fig B4)
Using 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.
Level hedges (fig B5)
To obtain exceptionally level hedges a piece of string can be
stretched along the length of the hedge as a guide.
Side trimming hedges (fig B6)
Orient the trimmer as shown and begin at the bottom and
sweep up.
Note: 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 as shown in figure B7, you
may put a nick in the blade.
(Original instructions)
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, handles broken or if you see any other condition
that may affect the trimmer's operation contact your local
BLACK+DECKER authorized 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.
