Trimming Instructions (fig.C2, C3, C4, C5, C6)
Note: keep hands away from blades. Blade may coast after
turn off.
Working positions (fig C2, C3)
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 C2, and C3,
with one hand on the main handle (3) and one hand on the
bail handle (4) or Pole grip (21). Never hold the unit by the
guard (25) or hedge trimmer blade (18).
Trimming new growth (fig C4)
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 C5)
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 C6)
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 C7,
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, 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.
Using the string trimmer attachment
Warning! Before assembly, make sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery is removed.
Attaching the guard (fig. D1, D2)
Warning! Never operate trimmer without guard firmly in place.
