ACCESSORIES
WARNING: DO NOT use the Pole Trimmer with any type of
accessory or attachment. Such usage might be hazardous.
THE RBRC™ SEAL
The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling
Corporation) Seal on the LI-ION 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.
RBRC™ in cooperation with Black & Decker and other battery users,
has established programs in the United States to facilitate the collection
of spent LI-ION batteries. Help protect our environment and conserve
natural resources by returning the spent LI-ION 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. RBRC™ is a registered trademark
of the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation.
MAINTENANCE
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, 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 from the unit 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 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.
Switch
Always be sure of your footing and grip the
Pole Trimmer firmly with both hands with
the thumb and fingers encircling the handle.
To turn the tool ON pull the lock button (1)
back with your thumb and then squeeze
the trigger (2) with your fingers as shown
in figure 14. (Once the tool is running you
can release the lock button.) To turn the
tool OFF, release the trigger.
Trimming Instructions
1. WORKING POSITION - Maintain proper footing and balance
and gloves when trimming. Hold the tool firmly in both hands
and turn the tool ON. Always hold the trimmer, as shown in the
illustrations in this manual, with one hand on the switch handle
and one hand on the pole. Never hold the tool by the hand guard.
2. TRIMMING NEW GROWTH - A wide, sweeping motion, feeding
the blade teeth through the twigs is most effective. A slight
downward tilt of the blade, in the direction of motion gives the
best cutting. Do not cut stems greater than 3/8” (10mm). Use
the trimmer only for cutting normal shrubbery around houses
and buildings.
3. LEVEL HEDGES - To obtain exceptionally level hedges
a piece of string can be stretched along the length of the hedge
as a guide.
4. SIDE-TRIMMING HEDGES - Begin at the bottom and sweep up.
