Hints for optimum use

If the grass is longer than approximately 10 cm, make

two cuts to obtain a better finish. First mow at maximum

height of cut, then use a low or medium height of cut.

In order to achieve optimum results, only mow dry grass.

Maintenance

Your Black & Decker appliance has been designed to

operate over a long period of time with a minimum of

maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends

upon proper appliance care and regular cleaning.

Keep the appliance clean and dry.

Regularly clean the ventilation slots with a clean, dry

paint brush.

Regularly use a blunt scraper to remove grass and dirt

from the appliance.

To clean the appliance, use only mild soap and a damp

cloth. Never let any liquid get inside the tool and never

immerse any part of the tool into liquid. Do not use any

abrasive or solvent-based cleaner.

Blade maintenance

Regularly remove grass and dirt from the blade.

At the beginning of the gardening season, carefully

examine the condition of the blade.
