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 (figure 9), 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. |

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.
