ACCessorIes
WArNING:
Do Not
use the Pole Trimmer with any type of
accessory or attachment. Such usage might be hazardous.
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.
Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain agents which greatly
accelerate the corrosion of metals. Do not store the tool on or adjacent
to fertilizers or chemicals.
