(Original instructions)

If you cut or damage the cord, unplug it at the electrical

outlet immediately, before inspecting or repairing cord.

Working position

u Maintain proper footing and balance and do not over-

reach.

u Wear safety goggles, non-skid footwear and rubber gloves

when trimming.

u Hold the tool rmly in both hands and turn the tool ON.

Always hold the trimmer, as shown in Fig. D, with one

hand on the switch handle and one hand on the auxiliary

handle. Never hold the tool by the blade guard.

Trimming new growth (g.G)

u 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.

Warning! Do not use trimmer for cutting stems greater than

16 mm. Use the trimmer only for cutting normal shrubbery

found around houses and buildings.

Level hedges (g.H)

u To obtain exceptionally level hedges, a piece of string can

be stretched along the length of the hedge as a guide.

Side trimming hedges (g.I)

u Begin at the bottom and sweep up.

Sawblade (g.J)

u For branches too large for the blade (1) to cut, use the

sawblade (8) . Position the sawblade as close to the

bottom of the branch as possible. Place the sawblade

shoe (9) against the branch. Turn the hedge trimmer on as

described above, allowing the tool to work at its own pace

until the branch is fully cut.

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 (Fig. L), 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 in-

terfere with the movement of the blade. If it does interfere, un-

plug the cord and use a ne toothed le 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

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.

u Or switch off and remove the battery from the appliance/

tool if the appliance/tool has a separate battery pack.

switch off.

not require any maintenance apart from regular cleaning.

u Regularly clean the ventilation slots in your appliance/tool/

charger using a soft brush or dry cloth.

u Regularly clean the motor housing using a damp cloth. Do

not use any abrasive or solvent-based cleaner.

u After use, carefully clean the blades. After cleaning, apply

a lm of light machine oil to prevent the blades from rust-

ing.
