WARNING: Remove extension cord

material from the gardeningappliance.

The cutting blades are made from

Fig. M

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, unplug

the cord 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.
