|
| CAUTION: Do not use the shrubber for cutting stems greater than 5/16" (7.9mm). Use |
|
|
| the shrubber only for cutting normal shrubbery found around houses and buildings. |
MAINTENANCE
It is easy to remove sap and dirt deposits when they are fresh and moist, but difficult after they become dry. Therefore, it is recommended that you wash the blades in water after each use. Hold the BLADES under a running faucet or in a pan of water and turn the appliance “ON” to help dislodge the deposits. Do not operate appliance with charger attached. (There is no electric shock hazard from the shearʼs

| After cleaning, wipe the blades with a cloth and allow them to dry. Then, with a rag, apply a |
FIG 7 | FIG 8 | thin film of light engine oil to the top and bottom of the blades. Do not over oil. Turn the |
|
| Appliance “ON” for a few seconds to work the lubricant between the blades. |
|
| LUBRICATION |

| BLADE NICKS | |
| 2 | The blades are made from high quality, heat treated steel and they will hold a sharp edge for | |
| a long period of time. 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, use a fine toothed | |
|
| file or sharpening stone to remove it. A replacement blade set is available | |
|
| (Shear Only) from your Black & Decker service center when blades become worn. | |
|
| DROPPING THE APPLIANCE | |
|
| If you drop the appliance, 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 appliances | |
|
| operation, contact your local Black & Decker Service Center for repairs before putting it | |
|
| back into use. | |
|
| PREVENTING CORROSION | |
|
| Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain agents which greatly accelerate the | |
|
| corrosion of metals. Do not store the appliance on or adjacent to fertilizers or chemicals. | |
|

| When they reach the end of their useful life, the batteries in your appliance will no longer | |
FIG 11 |
| accept a charge. Before discarding the old appliance, the nickel cadmium batteries must be | |
FIG 12 | removed and recycled or disposed of properly. Cadmium is a highly toxic form of waste and | ||
| |||
|
| is extremely harmful to the environment. | |
|
| Before attempting to disassemble this appliance, turn it on and run it until it stops to ensure | |
|
| a complete discharge of the batteries. | |
|
| Using a straight screwdriver, remove the rear product housing as shown in figure 11 and | |
|
| remove it from the end of the appliance. Lift the batteries out.The terminal clips are quick | |
|
| connect type and have a tab lock. Depress the tab to separate or pull the connector apart | |
|
| with a snap. Recycle battery as per the “RBRC” section below. |

TRIMMING INSTRUCTIONS (SHEAR, CAT#GS700 & SSC1000) (FIGURES 5, 6 AND 7)
1.Be sure that you have read carefully the safety rules. Use shear only for trimming grass and weeds.
2.For the best results you should trim only on a dry day, but water or moisture in the grass or on the ground does not create an electric shock hazard with this tool. Just be sure not to cut through any electric cords which may be in the area.
3.Keep your other hand well away from the blade, and maintain a stable working position so that you donʼt slip. Donʼt overreach.
4.Feed the blade into the grass at a rate that allows it to keep up cutting speed. Feed slower if the blade slows down. Watch out for foreign objects in the grass.
