SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS: POLARIZED PLUGS

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) and will require the use of a polarized extension cord. The trimmer plug will fit into a polarized extension cord only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, obtain a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper wall outlet. Do not change the equipment plug, extension cord receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.

SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS: EXTENSION CORDS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, use only with an extension cord

intended for outdoor use, such as an extension cord of cord type SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A,

STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A. or SJTOW-A.

The Black & Decker GH900 is a highly efficient and user-friendly electric string trimmer designed for residential lawn care. This powerful tool is particularly suited for homeowners looking to maintain their yards with ease and precision. One of the main features of the GH900 is its 6.5 Amp motor, which delivers impressive cutting power at 7500 RPM, enabling users to effectively tackle overgrown grass and weeds with minimal effort.

The trimmer is equipped with a 14-inch cutting swath, allowing for wider cutting capability in a single pass. This results in reduced trimming time, making yard work quicker and more efficient. The automatic feed spool is another standout feature, ensuring consistent line feeding without the need for manual adjustments.

This means that users can achieve cleaner cuts through thicker grass and tough weeds, leading to a professional-looking finish in their landscapes. Further enhancing its versatility, the GH900 features a convertible design that allows it to easily switch between trimmer and edger modes, making it an ideal choice for maintaining edges along sidewalks and flower beds.
