Black & Decker NHT518 instruction manual Battery Recycling and the RBRC Seal

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.

WARNING: DO NOT use the hedge trimmer with any type of accessory or attachment. Such usage might be hazardous.

Battery Recycling and the RBRC™ Seal
The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling
Corporation) Seal on the nickel-cadmium battery (or
battery pack) indicates that the costs to recycle the
battery (or battery pack) at the end of its useful life have
already been paid by Black & Decker. In some areas, it is illegal to
place spent nickel-cadmium batteries in the trash or municipal solid
waste stream and the RBRC program provides an environmentally
conscious alternative.
RBRC in cooperation with Black & Decker and other battery users,
has established programs in the United States and Canada to	10

facilitate the collection of spent nickel-cadmium batteries. Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources by returning the spent nickel-cadmium battery to an authorized Black & Decker service center or to your local retailer for recycling. You may also contact your local recycling center for information on where to drop off the spent battery,or call 1-800-8-BATTERY.
