Accessories
A WARNING: DO NOT use the hedge trimmer with any type of accessory or attachment. Such usage might
be hazardous.
MAINTENANCE
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, 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 unit 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.
Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain agents which greatly accelerate the corrosion of metals. Do n.ot
store the tool on or adjacent to fertilizers or chemicals.
With the unit unplugged, use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get
inside the tool; never immerse any part of tne tool into a liquid.
