Hints for optimum use

 

(figs. F, G, H & I)

 

Trimming grass

 

•

In order to achieve optimum cutting

 

 

results, only cut dry grass.

 

•

Hold the tool as shown in fig. F & G.

 

 

Keep your other hand well away

G

 

from the blade. Maintain a stable

 

working position so that you do not

 

 

slip. Do not overreach.

 

•

When cutting long grass, work in

 

 

stages from the top. Take small cuts.

 

• Keep the tool away from hard

 

 

objects and delicate plants.

 

•If the tool starts running slowly, reduce the load.

•To make a closer cut, slightly tilt the tool.

Trimming hedges

•Slightly tilt the tool (up to 15° relative to the line of cut) so that the blade tips point slightly towards the hedge (fig. H). This will cause the blades to cut more effectively.

• Start by trimming the top of the hedge.

H

 

 

Hold the tool at the desired angle

 

 

and move it steadily along the line of

 

 

cut. The double-sided blade allows

 

 

you to cut in either direction.

 

•

In order to obtain a very straight cut,

 

 

stretch a piece of string along the

 

 

length of the hedge at the desired

 

 

height. Use the string as a guide

 

 

line, cutting just above it.

 

•

In order to obtain flat sides, cut

 

 

upwards with the growth (fig. I).

 

 

Younger stems move outwards when

I

 

the blade cuts downwards, causing

 

 

shallow patches in the hedge.

 

• Take care to avoid any foreign objects.

 

 

Especially avoid hard objects such

 

 

as metal wire and railings, as these

 

 

could damage the blades.

 

•

Regularly oil the blades.

 

Maintenance

 

Your Black & Decker tool has been

 

designed to operate over a long period

 

 

of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning. Your charger does not require any maintenance apart from regular cleaning.

WARNING: Before performing any maintenance on the tool, switch off the tool. Unplug the charger before cleaning it.
