MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Remove extension cord from trimmer before
servicing, cleaning or removing material from the gardening appliance.
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 (
figure I
), 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, unplug the cord 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 trimmerʼs 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.
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.
