TRIMMING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Working position –
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 the illustrations in
this manual, with one hand on the switch handle and one
hand on the bail handle (Fig. H). Never hold the unit by the
blade guard.
2. Trimming new growth (Fig. I) -
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.
Caution! Do not cut stems greater than 3/4 inch
(19mm). Use the trimmer only for cutting normal shrubbery
around houses and buildings.
3. Level hedges (Fig. J) -
To obtain exceptionally level hedges a piece of string can
be stretched along the length of the hedge as a guide.
4. Side trimming hedges (Fig. K) -
Hold the trimmer as shown and begin at the bottom and
sweep up.
5. PowerCut

a slower, more forceful rhythm to help cut through difficult
branches. Release the button to return to
normal hedge trimming usage.
NOTE: Once the button is released, the blades will
immediately return to full speed.
NOTE: The blades will stop when the button is held for 15
seconds. To reengage the POWERCUT
TM
feature, release
the button and depress it again. DO NOT continuously hold
the POWERCUT
TM
button during normal hedge trimming.
Warning! TO GUARD AGAINST INJURY, OBSERVE
THE FOLLOWING:

MAINTENANCE
Your BLACK+DECKER tool has been designed to operate
over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper
tool care and regular cleaning. Your charger does not
require any maintenance apart from regular cleaning.
Warning! Remove battery pack before servicing, cleaning
or removing material from the gardening appliance.
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. M), 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 Service
Center for repairs before putting it back into use
