(Original instructions)
u
Switch off and unplug the appliance/tool.
u
Or switch off and remove the battery from the appliance/
tool if the appliance/tool has a separate battery pack.
u
Or run the battery down completely if it is integral and then
switch off.
u
Unplug the charger before cleaning it. Your charger does
not require any maintenance apart from regular cleaning.
u
Regularly clean the ventilation slots in your appliance/tool/
charger using a soft brush or dry cloth.
u
Regularly clean the motor housing using a damp cloth. Do
not use any abrasive or solvent-based cleaner.
u
After use, carefully clean the blades. After cleaning, apply
a film of light machine oil to prevent the blades from rust-
ing.
T
he 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 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 handles broken 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. 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. Pre-
vent the blades from rusting by applying a film of light machine
oil after cleaning.
