CAUTION: Blades

coast after turn off.

• Slightlytiltthetool(upto15°relative

to the line of cut) so that the blade tips

point slightly towards the hedge (fig.

H). This will cause the blades to cut

more effectively.

 Holdthetoolatthedesiredangleand

move it steadily along the line of cut.

The double-sided blade allows you to

cut in either direction.

• Inordertoobtainaverystraightcut,

stretch a piece of string along the

length of the hedge at the desired

height. Use the string as a guide line,

cutting just above it.

• Inordertoobtainflatsides,cut

upwards with the growth (fig. I).

Younger stems move outwards when

the blade cuts downwards, causing

shallow patches in the hedge.

Especially avoid hard objects such as

metal wire and railings, as these could damage the blades.

• Regularlyoiltheblades.

The RBRC™ Seal

The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling

Corporation) Seal on the nickel-cadmium or lithium-

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. In

some areas, it is illegal to place spent

nickel-cadmium or lithium-ion batteries in the trash or

municipal solid waste stream and the RBRC program

provides an environmentally conscious alternative. RBRC in

cooperation with Black & Decker and other battery users, has

established programs in the United States and Canada to facilitate

the collection of spent nickel-cadmium or lithium-ion batteries.

Helpprotectourenvironmentandconservenaturalresources

by returning the spent batteries 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, or call 1-800-8-BATTERY.

NOTE: Batteries are integrated into the tool and should not be

removed. To recycle, return the tool to an authorized Black & Decker

service center.
